The piano, though similar in some of its traits of many other musical instruments, differs in several important points of all other types. Resembles the violin, harp, guitar, zither, dulcimer, in its being stringed. It looks like the drum, triangle, cymbals, tambourine, dulcimer, in its being dependent on percussion for the production its tone, and resembles the organ, clarinet, concertina, in his being engaged.
But unlike all these instruments in the following important points. First, in being dependent on the method of the player to push the finger on the button for its quality of tone. Secondly, in its being depends on how fast to push the fingers of quantity tone and third, in being dependent on the keys to the means of producing percussion. The actual mechanism of percussion, ie, the hammers can be reached only by pressing the keys.
It is probably a lack of appreciation of this last fact that the piano has come to be regarded as a tool rather than as a string tuned one.
The distinctive feature of the piano is, then, the key mechanism system.
As the seat of tone the wire is made to sound just a series of communication, starting with the key, so it is necessary to understand the method by which this takes place and kept open communication.
The piano key is basically a lever that lifts the hammer strikes the string. It is a first-class lever, its point of support, or prop, which stretches between power and weight. In the case of piano, this fulcrum, or center that works the lever, is positioned midway between its two ends, the hammer (with some minor intermediate mechanism) is the weight, and the finger to act on it. The very limited area should be noted that within the key action is confined.
The immediate factor is the hammer tone. Hammer, through intermediate mechanism, being in direct and close contact with other end of the key, occurs when the near end is depressed by a finger or any weight and strength that makes the hammer strike the string is proportional to the speed exerted on a piano keyboard with the finger at the time of insertion. Number of tone is, therefore, the result of the amount of speed used to push the key down.
When the chain has been beaten by the hammer, the hammer falls down immediately, to allow the string to vibrate freely. The subsequent fall of the hammer is no however, not a return to the position occupied by him before the race, it will not fall all the way back until the key is allowed to rise. When you leave the key, the hammer falls back into its original position, and therefore is ready to run a fresh blow.
It is very important for students to remember that the hammer is always some distance from the cable. Except during the short period of time spent on strike after having beaten the cable that runs to assume instantly half position described above, and is unable to do more work until after the key has been allowed to rise.
