ABSTRACT:
A woodwind instrument changes the pitch of sound by selectively closing and opening tone holes by means of a key mechanism, and a player manipulates the key mechanism so as to bring tampons respectively received in key cups into contact with edges defining the tone holes; when a manufacturer shapes the key cups, he forms grooves in the bottom portions of the key cups for regulating the key cup to appropriate weight, and the player feels the key-touch light and comfortable.
