ABSTRACT:
In a solenoid actuator for use in an automatic performance keyboard instrument of the type comprising a key bed and a plurality of keys mounted on the key bed through seesaw mechanisms, electromagnetic actuators respectively corresponding to the keys and having a common yoke are disposed between the key bed and the keys. Each of the electromagnetic actuators independently actuates the corresponding key. The yoke and the electromagnetic actuators are assembled into a compact unit, thereby being readily incorporated between the key bed and the keys.
