ABSTRACT:
A split E mechanism for flutes having a split G key mechanism is achieved by attaching of a short arm to the F-sharp key in a manner so as to partially overlie an adjacent G-A combination key of the split G key mechanism. According to a preferred embodiment, the arm is soldered to the side of the free end of the F-sharp key at a position such that the adjacent G-A combination key will be closed when the F-sharp key is closed without the G-A combination key interfering with closing of the F-sharp key.
