My tinkerings with baroque recorder designs have finally taken me to instruments where my fingers cannot reach the holes or cannot cover the openings. This is an initial stab at a parametric woodwind key to help me make recorders in tenor (C4) or lower voicings. I'm using PVC pipe and the excellent mouthpieces designed by devangel77b:

The key does not seal on its own. You'll need to glue a thin piece of neoprene or foam rubber onto the key cap. The included stl is for the low C key of my tenor recorder, but The bass recorder I'm brainstorming will likely need about 4 of these keys with different parameters.
My design goals were:
1. Incorporate a printed compliant mechanism for the spring.
2. Pick a geometry that won't fatigue immediately
3. Allow clamping onto PVC or similar available piping
4. Make a parametric design so that modification for use in different instruments is straightforward.
I welcome input or remixes. Build
