Abstract (en)
A keyboard musical instrument wherein, by means of a respective transmission mechanism (1), each key (2) strikes a corresponding sound generating element (19). The instrument presents a device (34) in turn presenting a number of sensors (40), each for generating a signal depending on the movement of a terminal actuating member (12) of each transmission mechanism (1), and an electronic musical note generator (35) employing as input signals the electric signals supplied by the sensors (40). In the event the instrument is a piano, the actuating member (12) whose movement is detected by the sensor is conveniently formed by a portion of the hammer (11) striking the piano strings (19). <IMAGE>
