Fingerings
Trumpet (EVI)
This fingering is an adaptaon of the fingering system of one of the first
electronic wind instruments, and it has been designed to allow brass
players to quickly adapt their playing style and fingerings to the Syl-
phyo.

The right index, middle, and ring finger behave exactly like in a trumpet,
here controlling what would be the valves. To compensate for the lack
of a brass embouchure, the le index finger key can be pressed to go
down by 5 semitones. The le middle and ring finger keys are almost
always held to allow for a stable posture.
To sum up, from the base posion (press only the le middle and fin-
ger keys), pressing or releasing other keys will add or subtract a given
amount of semitones from the base C pitch:
− Le hand
– pressing the le index finger key: -5 (embouchure)
– liing either the le middle or ring finger key, or pressing the
le pinky key: +1 (non-cumulave)
− Right hand
