Abstract

L'invention concerne un adaptateur (10) conçu pour être fixé sur l'embouchure (2) d'un instrument à vent, cette embouchure (2) comportant une face frontale circulaire munie d'une ouverture et un canal dans une direction axiale (x) qui s'étend perpendiculairement à la face frontale de l'embouchure. L'adaptateur (10) est sensiblement symétrique en rotation et présente un collet annulaire (11) côté bouche qui s'étend de manière sensiblement parallèle à la face frontale de l'embouchure. L'adaptateur comprend également un col montant annulaire (12) qui s'étend de manière sensiblement perpendiculaire à la face frontale de l'embouchure, et une zone de fixation annulaire (13) présentant un contour interne symétrique en rotation pour une fixation sur l'embouchure (2). Le collet annulaire (11) côté bouche définit un plan (E) et comprend une matière déformable permettant de déformer au moins partiellement le plan par application d'une force contre la face frontale de l'embouchure.
