ABSTRACT:
A key-driving/detecting mechanism for performing automatically a keyboard instrument is constituted by a plurality of keys arranged on a key bed, each key being rotatable about a balance pin secured to a balance rail, and an electromagnetic device interposed between a lower surface of each key and the key bed at a position to the rear of the balance pin. Each electromagnetic device comprises an electromagnetic oil mounted on the key bed and a permanent magnet secured to a rear surface of the key. The simplicity of the key-driving/detecting mechanism is implemented by this disposition of the electromagnetic device. In a modification a pair of electromagnetic devices are provided in front of and in rear of the balance pin.
