class components.instruments.Horn

Bases: components.instruments.HighBrassInstrument

class components.instruments.Instrument

Bases: object

Base class for all instruments. Instruments are comparable, where the order is defined by class inheritance. For example:

Trumpet() < BrassInstrument() # True
Flugelhorn() <= Trumpet() # False
BrassInstrument() == BrassInstrument() # True
AltoSaxophone() == Saxophone() # False

Moreover, strings can be tested for equality with instruments. The comparison is case insensitive. The string will be compared to the string representation of the instrument.

Trumpet() == 'Trompete' # True
Trumpet() == 'trompete' # True
Trumpet() == 'Saxophon' # False

static from_string(string, allowed=None)

Given a string representation or an AkaBlas-style abbreviation of an instrument, this will return a corresponding components.Instrument instance.

Parameters

• string (str) – The string.

• allowed (Optional[Sequence[Union[Instrument, str]]]) – A list of allowed instruments. If the return value would not be in this list, None ist returned.

Raises

ValueError – If the abbreviation is not known.

Return type

Optional[Instrument]
