A hybrid wind musical instrument is a combination of an alto saxophone and
an electronic system, and a player has an option between acoustic tones
and electronic tones to be produced during performance; the electronic
system includes sensors monitoring selected component parts of the key
mechanism so as to determine the electronic tones intended to be produced
by the player, and plural combinations of pieces of magnet and
Hall-effect elements serve as the sensors: However, the component parts
of key mechanism are arranged in a narrow space over the surface of
tubular instrument body; driven parts are attached to the selected
component parts so as to bridge gap between the selected component parts
and the Hall-effect elements remote from the selected component parts.
