Recorder training device

A musical recorder training device comprising:

• a recorder body having a plurality of tone-controlling openings;
• a plurality of electrode pairs, the electrodes of each electrode pair being disposed on opposite sides of a respective tone-controlling opening such that closure of a tone-controlling opening with a finger tip provides an electric current path between a respective electrode pair through that finger tip, the electrodes in each pair being positively fixed relative to one another;
• a plurality of terminals, at least one terminal being provided for each electrode pair and at least one additional terminal;
• a plurality of metal conductors secured substantially along their entire lengths to said recorder body, each conductor extending between a respective terminal and one electrode in a respective electrode pair;
• a further metal conductor secured substantially along its entire length to said recorder body, said further conductor extending between said additional terminal and the other electrodes of said electrode pairs;
• a plurality of electric lamps;
• and
• circuit means connecting each of said electric lamps to a respective terminal of said plurality of terminals for selectively energizing each lamp as a function of the open and closed condition of each tone-controlling opening, respectively;
• wherein said tone-controlling openings are circular holes and wherein each electrode extends arcuately and substantially concentrically about a portion of respective tone-controlling openings.
