Abstract

See full text

An acoustic piano includes strings, a plurality of keys, a plurality of mechanical control members, a foot pedal mechanism kinematically connected to the plurality of mechanical control members, the foot pedal mechanism including a foot pedal configured to be manipulated to modulate an attribute of an audible output of the acoustic piano. The acoustic piano also includes at least one electromechanical actuator configured to be driven to move at least one mechanical control member, and a controller operably connected to the at least one electromechanical actuator. The controller is configured to receive a user-generated sensor signal and, in response to the user-generated sensor signal, generate at least one electrical signal to drive the at least one electromechanical actuator and thereby move the at least one mechanical control member to modulate the attribute.
