ABSTRACT:
An arrangement for chromatic and diatonic keys for a carillon keyboard is provided. A guide plate has key receiving slots located such that the natural, or diatonic, keys are in a lower row and the accidental, or chromatic, keys are in an upper row, the chromatic keys being placed between the diatonic keys. The pivots for the keys are staggered axially of the keys with the diatonic key pivots being behind the chromatic key pivots. The carillon actuating wires are connected to the keys in a staggered relationship, also, with the diatonic key wires being connected forwardly of the chromatic key wires. This arrangement provides a balance of force for all of the keys.
