Abstract
An electronic musical instrument which simulates an acoustic wind instrument and the like is designed to generate a musical tone having a desirable tone pitch in response to breath pressure applied thereto by a performer. Preferably, the electronic musical instrument has a shape like the wind instrument, so that the breath pressure includes breath blowing pressure and breath sucking pressure. For example, generation of the musical tone is controlled in response to the breath blowing pressure, while the predetermined musical parameter such as the tone color, accompaniment and rhythm is controlled in response to the breath sucking pressure.
