A key is a specific part of a musical instrument. The purpose and function of the part in question depends on the instrument. On instruments equipped with tuning machines, violins and guitars, for example, a key is part of a tuning machine. It is a worm gear with a key shaped end used to turn a cog, which, in turn, is attached to a post which winds the string. The key is used to make pitch adjustments to a string.

  • A key is a specific part of a musical instrument. The purpose and function of the part in question depends on the instrument. On instruments equipped with tuning machines, violins and guitars, for example, a key is part of a tuning machine. It is a worm gear with a key shaped end used to turn a cog, which, in turn, is attached to a post which winds the string. The key is used to make pitch adjustments to a string. With other instruments, zithers and drums, for example, a key is essentially a small wrench used to turn a tuning machine or lug. On woodwind instruments such as a flute or saxophone, keys are finger operated levers used to open or close a tone hole, thereby shortening or lengthening the vibrating tube of the instrument. The keys on the keyboard of a pipe organ also open and close valves, but the air flow is driven mechanically rather than lung powered, and the flow of air is directed through different pipes tuned for each note. The keys of an accordion direct the air flow from a manually operated bellows across various tuned vibrating reeds. On other keyboard instruments, a key may be a lever which mechanically triggers a hammer to strike a group of strings, as on a piano, or an electric switch which energizes an audio oscillator as on an electronic organ or a synthesizer.
  • Klappen dienen bei Holzblasinstrumenten (selten auch bei manchen frühen Blechblasinstrumenten) dazu, Tonlöcher zu erreichen, die aufgrund der Größe oder Bauart des Instruments aus der normalen Handhaltung heraus nicht zugänglich sind.
  • La llave es una de las piezas de un instrumento de viento de madera (como la flauta, el oboe, el clarinete o el fagot, que al ser apretada modifica la altura del sonido. En los instrumentos de viento de metal, las llaves adoptan el nombre de pistones. No debe confundirse el término "llave" con "clave". .
  • Sur certains instruments à vent, les clés constituent des dispositifs mécanisés permettant soit d'atteindre des orifices à boucher hors de portée des doigts, soit d'ouvrir des orifices supplémentaires normalement fermés. L'objectif est alors la suppression des défauts de justesse ou l'amélioration de l'ergonomie de l'instrument. Les hautbois, les saxophones, les clarinettes, les flûtes traversières disposent d'un clétage élaboré.

  • La chiave è una leva che negli strumenti a fiato, e nei legni in particolare, serve a chiudere o aprire un foro al di fuori della portata delle dita per posizione e/o dimensioni.
  • Chaves são mecanismos presentes em diversos instrumentos musicais, principalmente em instrumentos de sopro da família das madeiras, como a flauta, o clarinete, o saxofone, o fagote. Sua utilidade consiste em abrir e fechar orifícios ao longo do corpo do instrumento, variando a distância percorrida pelo ar dentro do instrumento e, consequentemente, a nota emitida. O uso das chaves dá-se na impossibilidade técnica do instrumentista controlar apenas com os dedos a abertura e fechamento dos orifícios, seja pela largura destes, seja por uma distância inalcançável pelas mãos. Muitos instrumentos valvulados, como trompetes e trombones, possuem chaves para a liberação da água que condensa no interior do instrumento em virtude do aumento da temperatura interna com o sopro do instrumentista. Essa chave, porém, não é utilizada no momento de execução de músicas.
