ABSTRACT:
An upright piano has a fall board for covering a keyboard, and a damper assembly is provided between a side arm and the fall board; the damper assembly includes a rotary damper generating large damping force during a turning motion in the counter clock wise direction and small damping force during the opposite turning motion and a link mechanism connected between the fall board and a shaft member of the rotary damper for changing the turning motion on the way between the closed position and the open position of the fall board; and a player is not expected to strongly support the fall board so as to prevent the fall board and the piano case from violent collision therebetween.
