ABSTRACT:
Keyboard instruments incorporating sound systems for generating musical tones are disclosed. In a first keyboard instrument, speakers are mounted near a keyboard, and are arranged upright to be directed to the keyboard on the front side, thereby allowing a performer to clearly grasp the sound quality of performance tones. In a second keyboard instrument, which comprises a Helmholtz resonator consisting of a resonance port and a cabinet, an electro-acoustic transducer mounted on the outer surface of the cabinet and a driver for driving the transducer so as to cancel an air counteraction from the resonator, the size of a sound system is reduced, and the frequency characteristics, especially the low-frequency reproduction characteristics of the sound system are improved.
