Electronic wind instrument and method for providing operation feel

Abstract

An electronic wind instrument according to an embodiment of the disclosure includes: a housing; an operator supported on outside of the housing to be rotatable in a pressing direction approaching the housing and a return direction opposite to the pressing direction; a detection portion detecting an operation to the operator; and a return-side stopper restricting a rotation of the operator in the return direction, in which the detection portion includes a movable portion that moves with a rotation of the operator and an elastic body that generates a repulsive force for rotating the operator in the return direction via the movable portion, and the repulsive force of the elastic body is applied to the operator in a state where a rotation of the operator in the return direction is restricted by the return-side stopper.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
