Abstract:
    A string-striking device for a piano, where a static loading acting on a fore-end on the playing side of a key can be easily adjusted. A long weight lever ( 21 ) is provided on each key ( 3 ). The lever ( 21 ) is installed along the length direction of the key 3, on an upper part on the side opposite the playing side of the key ( 3 ). The installation is made such that one end of the lever ( 21 ) is vertically pivotably fixed to a piano body and the vertically displaceable free-end side of the lever is in contact with the upper face of the key ( 3 ) by its own weight to apply a load on the key ( 3 ). The structure above enables a static load on the key ( 3 ) to be adjusted by replacing the lever ( 21 ) without disassembling the string-striking device and removing the key ( 3 ).
