Abstract (en)
[origin: DE19716177A1] The instruments has a synthesiser simulating the tone of a string instrument, preferably a grand piano, naturally as far as possible in an electronic manner. Preferably it is used as a silent practice instrument, exclusively with a headset terminal. The keys (5) are each coupled to an original hammer piano mechanism (2) with a bar (34) replacing the strings, against which a hammer (15) is thrust by its head (29) when a key is depressed. Preferably the bar is secured to the instrument housing (4) by insulating material (43, 44) and is attenuated at the hammer impact point. The hammer head of original piano shape is coated with an impact damping lining.
