ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a keyboard device of an electronic keyboard instrument generating a sound upon actuation of a switch disposed on a main plate by a pushing operation of a keyboard; the device includes a touch element varying in position according to the operation of the keyboard and a guide element for guiding the touch element, so that pushing force of the keyboard may be regulated. Therefore, this device enables a player to feel the same sense of touch as that in a common piano by eliminating a sense of friction which may be exerted upon his finger when pushing down the keyboard.
