ABSTRACT:
An electromechanical piano of the type incorporating asymmetrical tuning forks. To increase vastly the dwell of the forks in the high-pitched range of the piano, a fork-mounting construction is employed wherein only a single screw is associated with each fork. Elastomeric means are provided around each screw and also between opposed edge surfaces of adjacent forks, whereby to prevent rotation of each fork about the axis of its associated mounting screw.
