    摘要: A keyboard device for a keyboard instrument, capable of obtaining excellent touch feeling and stable key stroke without giving sponge feeling or unpleasant vibration during key depression. The keyboard device includes a keyboard chassis, keys pivotally supported on the chassis, hammers swingably supported on the chassis and swinging along with key depression, a hammer upper limit stopper provided on a chassis rear end and contacted by a hammer rear end from below during key depression, and a key lower limit stopper provided on a chassis front end and contacted by front ends of the keys from above during key depression. The hammer upper limit stopper has predetermined flexibility that allows deformation of the hammer upper limit stopper such that after contact of a hammer during key depression, an associated key reaches its lowest position in a state in contact with the key lower limit stopper.

    摘要: A damper for a piano, which has a bifurcated damper felt of which a space between two protrusions is difficult to be narrowed. A damper head extends along three strings in a lengthwise direction thereof and is movable in directions in which the damper moves into and out of contact with the three strings. Damper felt is attached to a string-side surface of the damper head such that it extends in a lengthwise direction of the damper head, and includes two protrusions formed to protrude toward the strings in a bifurcated manner such that they can be brought into contact with the three strings in a state inserted into respective spaces therebetween. The damper felt is attached to the damper head such that deformation of the damper felt in which a space between the two protrusions is narrowed is resisted.
