Electronic Saxophone

Chagrin:

Hi I made a microphone circuit and I plan to make it detect only the wind blowing for my Saxophone project. So far I am having problems on how to do this because when I blow wind to the microphone it gathers data and when I also talk it also gathers data. How can I let my circuit only gather data wind blowing from the microphone?

You could add a second microphone with a windscreen. Subtract signal that the windscreen'd microphone receives. Just an idea.

Here's an example of a blow pressure sensor: http://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-Controlled-SIP-PUFF-Switch/

Another thing to add would be a force sensitive resistor where the reed would be. Allow the user to apply pressure with their bottom lip to "bend the tone higher" (damn I played sax for 10 years and don't know the proper term).

It's all good man! We just had finished our Project and it's working out great for us. I just posted the video to let you guys know. and I would like to thank all the people from Arduino.cc for helping me! Thank you for advice though. :slight_smile:
We used a blow pressure sensure by the way.
I would like to especially thank Grumpy Mike for this! :slight_smile:
