ABSTRACT:
A keyboard for a musical instrument having a frame structure and a plurality of elongated keys. Flat pivot springs are provided for each key and are rigidly held in a vertical position in the frame structure. Each key has a chamber with a lower opening in a rear section for receiving the upper section of an associated pivot spring so that the pivot spring forms the sole pivot about which the key may rotate in a single plane only. The pivot spring is rigidly held in the key chamber in a force fit without the use of a separate fastening device.
