A wind instrument manifesting a trumpet and a French horn, for example, is
for exercising the fingers includes key plungers arranged on a top wall
of a housing with the plungers supported by a movable plate in the
housing chamber. Springs are associated with each plunger for providing a
resilient load on each plunger manifesting the load on valve operating
key plungers of a corresponding wind instrument. A mechanism displaces
the plate to place a load on the plungers representing a horn or a
trumpet or other instruments. A thumb wheel is provided on a screw in a
mechanical mechanism to displace the plate. A reversible DC motor is
coupled to a screw in an electrically activated mode to displace the
plate in opposite directions by reversing the polarity of a current
applied to the motor. Two switches reverse the current polarity. Three
plungers are associated with the housing top wall and a fourth plunger
manifesting a French horn is associated with a housing end wall for
exercising the thumb. A rear wall is curved and the front wall is planar
to manifest either a trumpet or a horn depending upon orientation of the
device in the user's hand.
