Recently, it becomes very important to make the environment of handicapped people in the daily life more comfortable and there are many rising movements and activities to fulfill the subject. As a result, the occasion and the field where handicapped people can exercise their ability are increasing. But it is very difficult for them to play such as the wind instruments freely, because such performance needs very skillful and delicate movements of their body parts. In this research, we assume that a professional sax player became unable to use his lips to make good embouchure because of the lack of the lip muscle force and unable to play the saxophone properly. The research object is that we should develop an easily controllable device to make artificial embouchure and the device should enable the player to play the saxophone as before.
