ABSTRACT:
In order to eliminate the disadvantages due to varieties of a string-striking speed (i.e., dynamic characteristic) of a hammer, a hammering operation control unit is applied to a piano accompanied with an automatic performance function which can reproduce a musical performance recording in advance. Based on a detected string-striking speed of the hammer which is driven by the reference drive value predetermined to each key, the hammering operation control unit computes a deviation from the target string-striking speed corresponding to the reference drive value as a compensation value. Then, the newest computed compensation value is stored in a memory device or medium such as a floppy disk by periodically renewing the stored compensation value. Based on the stored compensation value, the string-striking speed of the hammer is to be compensated.
