ABSTRACT:
An improvement in the action for a harpsichord type of keyboard musical instrument which uses a pneumatic piston to provide a variable pluck loudness. The improvement comprises a new pick-body design which allows several strings to be plucked at once for any single note or key, thus increasing the loudness of the instrument. The invention involves the use of a crank arm which, being restrained by a pneumatic piston, tilts the pick-body and the picks into the strings, the loudness resulting therefrom being proportional to the key-lever velocity.
