Abstract

See full text

For each key and without damping action of dampers deactivated by a damper pedal, loads imposed on a portion of the key acting on the damper are measured while the key is moved over one stroke in at least one of key-depressing and key-releasing directions, in association with a plurality of stroke positions in the one stroke of the key. For each key, a key-damper half region is identified on the basis of relationship between the individual stroke positions and the measured loads corresponding to the stroke positions. Then, on the basis of the key-damper half regions identified for the individual keys, a half point is determined separately for each of the keys, or a half point common to a group of a plurality of the keys is determined.
