Abstract
A piano selectably playable in normal and soft mode includes multiple piano keys and multiple piano actions associated with the piano keys. Each piano action includes a piano hammer assembly and a piano wippen assembly actuated by depression of a corresponding piano key. Also included are multiple piano hammers, each mounted for rotating movement and defining a forward throw direction toward one or more corresponding piano string, and driven by a corresponding piano wippen assembly to transmit force applied to an associated piano key. One bridle strap, in a set of bridle straps, connects a piano hammer to a corresponding piano wippen assembly. A key lifting assembly in engagement with the piano keys and an associated bridle strap under tension cooperatively bring corresponding piano keys and piano wippen assemblies together in gap-closing movement.
