Thanks : your advices will be very usefull. looking at the warbl default fingering i realize that i will need to invent a new fingering to get # and b notes and this is not easy ... and may be sylphyo offers more possibility on that. Probably there is already a best choice which has been adopted by most other recorder players...(?)

@peter-ostry said in playing sylphyo without the hands:

breath controller, preferably with bite-sensitivity, for example from Tecontrol

Impressive demos on youtube ! that could be a solution!
probably the bite-sensitivity signal might be converted into sound pitch... but probably this would require a lot of training to play with it this way. Thank you for your advices. I also want the sylphyo because i play the flute (the recorder) so i dont need the little finger of the left hand and i was wondering if it's still the case the way sylphyo is modifying the fingering... another thing is that i dont really like artificial sounds and i really would like to use the sylphio to play the sounds of all kind of real wind instruments in the most realistic way. But then propably there is a high additional price to pay to buy those sounds , but how much exactly is what i would like to know. thanks in advance.

@jimhanks Interesting though i dont know how to play harmonica

Hello,

I find the sylphio fantastic and i was wondering wether there is something equivalent for someone who cannot use his hands because for instance is already playing chords on the guitar.
In this case the sensor should may be measure the variable size of an elastical mouthpiece of the instrument or may be the position of the tip of the tongue to translate this into the pitch of a synthetized sound. Do you know about something like that already available on the market or ongoing research?
I already know about imitone but their problem is that their idea is to convert natural voice sound into synthesized sound in which case it's difficult to filter other sources of sounds in the environment and in particular sound loops ==> larsen effect. A position rather than sound sensor avoids this problem and is also simpler.
Since we are naturally more or less trained to produce the sound pitch we want when whisteling...may be we could just whistle without actually producing the sound (the most difficult part in whisteling) but just move the tongue inside our mouth to let a sensor in the mouthpiece of the instrument detect it's position...
Thanks in advance for any comment or link of interest.
