Build a Breath-Controlled Flute, Oboe & Clarinet with Arduino Due - Physical Modelling Kit

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Blow into a sensor and sculpt the warm, evolving tones of a wooden flute, the double-reed bite of an oboe, or the woody resonance of a clarinet - all generated in real time by an Arduino Due running the Karplus-Strong algorithm with a continuously variable decay model. This kit turns your breath into a musical controller, mapping pressure to loudness, pitch bend, and timbral nuance through a 12-bit DAC and amplified speaker. Every component arrives in one box, from the MPX5010 pressure sensor to the enclosure and soldering iron, so you can build a complete, portable digital wind instrument without hunting for parts.

What You'll Build

You will assemble a handheld, breath-responsive synthesizer with six tactile buttons for note selection, a 0.96-inch OLED for pressure and mode feedback, and a PAM8403 amplifier driving a 3W speaker. The instrument reacts to subtle changes in breath - soft attacks, vibrato intensity, note-off decay - exactly the way an acoustic wind instrument responds to embouchure. The result is an expressive performance tool that you can hold, play, and later hack to model any string or wind sound you imagine.

What You'll Learn

• Implement the Karplus-Strong algorithm with an extended decay envelope on a 32-

  Karplus-Strong with decay model simulates flute, oboe and clarinet timbres on Arduino Due via breath pressure input.
