ABSTRACT:
A keyboard for an electronic instrument and an electronic piano providing a key touch and a key touch response similar to those of an acoustic piano and stabilizing the key touch response for each key. Two detection positions of a key stroke are detected by a jack tail sensor or a jack sensor by detecting contact of a jack tail equivalent member or a jack equivalent member, before or after a hammer equivalent member disengages from or releases from a jack equivalent member. A time difference between the two positions is not adversely affected by the let-off of the jack equivalent member. Therefore, the positions and the time difference are detected stably for each key. Sound timing and sound intensity are controlled based upon the detected positions and time difference between the positions. Therefore, a key touch response, similar to that of an acoustic piano, can be stably obtained for each key.
