Abstract

See full text

A piano includes a plurality of keys having forward and rearward ends and an emitter and a detector both disposed adjacent the rearward end of each key. The emitter emits a signal directed toward a surface of the rearward end of the key. The detector receives a signal reflected from the surface of the rearward end of the key. A controller is in communication with the emitter and the detector and processes detection signals received from the detector to determine key movement.
