	Key (instrument) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A key is a small rectangular button on a musical instrument that is depressed to cause the instrument to create a sound of a particular pitch.
		Keys are organized into keyboards, typically with the keys arranged left to right from the lowest pitch to highest and with the naturals done in white and the sharps/flats in fl.
		This article relating to musical instruments is a stub.

	AAS Instrument Controls and Key Pad
		This key selects the continuous mode of operation for the element selected where the instrument continuously displays (both digital and graphically) the results of successive integration over a time period specified within the mode.
		Pressing this key causes the tracing of the absorbance signal being measured to be displayed on screen.
		This key is used to display two types of information; the absorbance data underlying the values on the main display and the individual readings and statistics when averaging.

	RCN - single line tokens
		The shape of the centre hole, usually A round, B square and C triangular, cannot always be relied on to reflect the configuration (2).
		The configuration of all varieties of Tyer's key tokens is determined by the position of a semicircular groove on the end, and two colour schemes are known - the less common alternative is given in brackets.
		Some No 9 key tokens were originally double-ended, one end for inserting into the block instrument and the other an Annett's key for use in ground frame etc. locks (3).

	The Bb Clarinet
		The hypothesis was that the speaker key shortens the column of air substantially, thus selecting a different mode.
		Sound is produced in the instrument by means of a single reed, which vibrates as the player blows into the mouthpiece.
		When the speaker key is opened, the same fingering (with of course, the addition of the speaker key) creates a much higher pitch with different harmonics.

	FROM A DESIGNERS DIARY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The fact is that the brass instrument water key is the last thing a designer and manufacturer wants to know about when they've spent all their time and energy on the instrument itself.
		When fitted correctly this key actually enhances the performance of the instrument by creating minimum distortion to the pipe or slide on which it is fitted.
		As this water key is suitable for, and an asset to, all brass instruments, this under surface must be sculpted to fit the relevant mouthpipe/slide etc., in order that the two surfaces mate' correctly.

		Wipe excess moisture from the instrument bore and wipe fingerprints from the exterior surface.

	Catlin's flutes
		The key of the one-key flute is presumably not original.
		The flute is a well made classical-style instrument intended to be played in all keys (unlike the one-key Peloubet mentioned in the survey of American flutes).
		However, this arrangement of foot joint keys is close in concept to, and suggests the appearance of, the foot joint keys on the earliest Boehm flutes.

	Life detection instrument passes key test on road to Mars
		In a place that hadn't seen a blade of grass or a bug for ages, and contending with dust and temperature extremes that left her either freezing or sweating, Skelley ran 340 tests that proved the instrument could unambiguously detect amino acids, the building blocks of proteins.
		The Atacama Desert was selected by NASA scientists as one of the key spots to test instruments destined for Mars, primarily because of its oxidizing, acidic soil, which is similar to the rusty red oxidized iron surface of Mars.
		That means they'll need fewer channels on the instrument that travels to Mars, and the scanner used to read out the data needn't be as elaborate.

	Rudall, Rose, Carte & Co - the eight key flute years
		For our purposes, we can assume that interest in the eight key flute as a "fine music" instrument started to wane from around 1850; certainly there is evidence that few eight key instruments were made after 1870.
		While occasional instruments were made up to and beyond the turn of the century, the period 1820 to 1860 probably encompass the eight key's early golden years.
		Marks on remaining instruments seem to suggest that slots for keys were cut by a guided scraping tool, probably not dissimilar to a modern metal lathe cross slide.

		The Irish style of instrument has two rows, in the keys of B and C. The right hand side is fully chromatic in that the notes not in one row are all in the other.
		In the key of C-Major, the half-steps are between E and F, the third and fourth notes, and between B and C, the seventh and eighth notes.
		There is the major key for each row, the minor key played one step up in each row, the diminished seventh key, which is played up a fifth or down a fourth and, in all but the inner row, the minor key with both diminished third and seventh which is played up a fifth.

	Bombarde FAQ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Included is information on the key the instrument might be in (pitch), as well as the "Keys" the instrument comes equipped with, reeds, and bombarde makers.
		As a beginner, you'll be hard pressed to get more than one octave out of the instrument, therefore your effective range on a G bombarde will be from F (or F# depending on the instrument--see "keys" below) to the octave G; this will give you the ability to play in Am and G easily.
		A list of usable keys, might be: G, A, D and then C (but C and D need proprietary reeds--see below) would all be useful and will give you the ability to play just about any Breton tune you'd hear played by the above mentioned bands.

	Duet Advice Sought - Concertina.net Discussion Forums
		If weight is a key consideration, that would probably exclude the Jeffries Duet, as the ones I've played tend to be fairly heavy and solidly built.
		So if you are comparing a 48 key with a 55 key and the difference is in the upper register where reeds are small (and light) and the tina doesn't have to be made larger to accomodate them, you aren't gaining that much by reducing the number of keys.
		Finally, it might be of interest to you that initially I was very disapointed at the larger size of the 59 key instrument.
