ABSTRACT:
A breakdown piano is disclosed which incorporates, in the preferred and illustrated embodiment, a separable keyboard with hammer mechanism attached which slidably removes from the body of the piano. The remainder of the piano apparatus is incorporated with the body. This is an aid to reduction of weight and division of the piano into two more readily manageable packages for quick moves. The apparatus incorporates a slide assembly aligning the keyboard, a clamp to latch the hammers in a fixed position when detached from the body and a latch release mechanism. There is, additionally, means for bolting the piano keyboard to the body.
