ABSTRACT:
An upright piano action includes a butt having a hammer, and a jack adapted to swing the butt, thereby permitting the hammer to strike a string, in which there is provided a butt spring means urging against the swinging movement of the hammer toward the string, the butt spring means not acting during the initial portion of the swinging movement of the hammer but acting from midway of the swinging movement thereof up to the point wherein the hammer strikes the string, so that a rapid, continual hammer striking operation is possible, attaining a delicate sound control as with the grand piano action.
