ABSTRACT:
A wind instrument key in which the arm and foot portions are stabilized. The post supporting the hinge rod is also stabilized and the hinge rod is prevented from lateral movement in the post hole. A novel pad construction prevents air leaks due to shrinking of the pad cover. A means for resiliently contacting a tone hole cover prevents air leaks in combination type keys. A means for modulating energy radiated from the tone hole is included in the key structure. A spring containing means allows adjustable and removable mounting of springs on the key. A cluster of finger contact points includes a rigid plate containing the contact points with each contact point operatively associated with one or more tone hole covers.
