[Prior Art] A breath controller for an electronic musical instrument detects the breath pressure of a performer with a breath pressure sensor, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 58-118490, etc. It is configured to be input to an electronic musical instrument as a control signal to be controlled. Particularly in a portable musical instrument, the number of operation of control buttons is restricted due to the fact that the instrument body is held by hand,
This is effective in solving the inconvenience that changes in timbre, volume, etc. tend to be scarce. Further, the structure is simple, and the degree of effect can be adjusted depending on the strength of the breath pressure, so that the operation is easy.

Therefore, it is conceivable to provide a valve in the middle of the tube that guides the breath pressure blown from the mouthpiece to the breath pressure sensor. In that case, for example, as shown in FIG. When the valve 4 for adjusting the amount of breathing, which is composed of the pipe body 2 and the adjusting screw 3 for changing the hole diameter of the pipe body 2, is incorporated, two connecting portions between the tube 1 and the pipe body 2 are formed. There is a problem that air and saliva are more likely to leak from the part. Moreover, since the tube body 2 is required, the number of parts and the number of assembling steps increase, which causes a cost increase.

FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a main part of a breath controller according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side view of an electronic musical instrument integrally equipped with the controller. In these figures, 10 is a wind instrument type electronic musical instrument, and this electronic musical instrument 10 is provided with a flat elongated box-shaped musical instrument main body 11 and a case 12 integrally provided on one side surface of the musical instrument main body 11. There is. On the surface of the musical instrument body 11, there is a key system 13 including a plurality of tubular keys.
The octave key 13A, the program change key 14, the pitch bend lever 15, the key hold key 16, the connection terminal 18 of the power cord 17 and the like are provided on the back surface of the instrument main body 11 when carrying the instrument. The case 12 from the neck with a hanging band (not shown).
It is designed to be hung up. On the lower surface of the case 12, there are arranged various mode switching display switches 19, a variable resistor 20 for adjustment such as wind gain, wind offset, pitch bend gain, pitch bend offset, etc. A mouthpiece 22 having a lead 23 that constitutes the breath controller 21 is provided on the side surface of the tube, and one end 125a is connected to the mouthpiece 22 inside, and the other end 125b is a flexible tube 25 opened as a breathing hole. Is provided. In addition, a tube 25A provided separately for transmitting pressure to the breath pressure sensor 24 is connected to the mouthpiece 22. When the mouthpiece 22 is held and air is blown, the breath pressure is guided to the breath pressure sensor 24 via the tube 25A and is converted into an electric signal by the sensor. And
This electric signal is input to the musical instrument body 11 as a control signal for tone color, volume, and the like. Since the breath pressure sensor 24 is conventionally known, a detailed description of its configuration will be omitted. Further, when the lead 23 is bitten, a pitch bend (vibrato effect) is applied.

Now, in the middle of the tube 25, the mouthpiece 2
Valve 2 that adjusts the amount of breathing air blown from 2
6 is provided. The cono valve 26 is the case 1
2 is a screw hole 27 formed in the back surface of the tube 2, and the tip of the screw hole 28 is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the tube 25 at the end thereof, and the screw 28 is provided on the inner surface of the case 12 in contact with the tube 25. A case inner surface portion 29 that faces the tube 25, and a case inner surface portion 29.
And a tube portion 25a between the screw 28 and the tube portion 25a is elastically deformed by being pressed by the screw 28, the inner diameter of the tube portion 25a is reduced, and the pressure of air in the mouthpiece 22 is reduced. In other words, the pressure applied to the breath pressure sensor 24 is increased. Therefore, the breathing amount can be freely variably set according to the preference of the performer, the musical piece to be played, etc., and the feeling of blowing can be varied over a wide range.

Further, since the valve 26 is configured so that a part of the tube 25 is crushed by the screw 28 and pressed against the inner surface 29 of the case, the structure is simple and there is no need to cut the tube 25 in the middle, and leakage of air and saliva is prevented. Does not occur. Further, since a part of the inner surface 29 of the case 12 also serves as a valve constituent member and only the screw 28 needs to be provided on the case 12, reliability can be increased and the number of parts can be saved and the number of assembling steps can be saved. You can
