ABSTRACT:
An improved key for keyboard musical instruments, being particularly suited for reduced width keys, provides for greater structural stiffness and torsional rigidity to improve the feel and response of the key. The key comprises a playing end member mounted on top of one end of a bracing member and a key shank mounted on top of the second end of the bracing member, with the free end of the key shank able to engage a capstan mechanism.
