摘要： A piano hammer stopper system includes a stopper rail set comprising at least first and second stopper rail members, each movable between respective first positions allowing unobstructed movement of associated piano hammers and respective second positions stopping at least one associated piano hammer from striking any corresponding string. At least one drive shaft is rotatably coupled to one or both of the stopper rail members. A drive arm is attached to the drive shaft and engages a drive fulcrum. A travel guide directs movement of the first and second stopper rail members between respective first and second positions. Rotation of the drive shaft rotates the drive arm to engage the drive fulcrum for moving one or both of the first and second stopper rail members between respective first and second positions.

摘要： A piano hammer stopper system includes a blocking rail movable between a first position, allowing unobstructed movement of piano hammers, and a second position, blocking at least one piano hammer from striking any corresponding strings. The piano hammer stopper system includes a drive shaft rotatably coupled to the blocking rail, a drive arm attached to the drive shaft and engaging a drive fulcrum, and a travel guide directing movement of the blocking rail between its first and second positions. Rotation of the drive shaft rotates the drive arm to engage the drive fulcrum for moving the blocking rail between its first and second positions.

摘要： A piano, playable in an acoustic mode and a silent mode, includes a series of keys, a series of key actions, and a series of rotatable hammers. Each key action is actuated by depression of a corresponding key. Each hammer defines a forward throw direction and has a corresponding string. The hammers are driven by corresponding key actions transferring forces from corresponding keys. The piano includes a hammer stopper system that has a blocking rail slidably disposed forward of the hammers. A linear actuator moves the blocking rail along a substantially linear path between a first position, allowing unobstructed movement of the hammers, and a second position blocking at least one hammer from striking its corresponding string. The linear actuator moves the blocking rail to the first position for acoustic play and to the second position for silent play.

摘要： A piano forte hammer includes an elongated head having a nose defining side surfaces, and a felt body extending about the nose portion, with tail portions of the felt body affixed upon the side surfaces. The tail portions contain a predetermined measured amount of an acrylic copolymer. In preferred embodiments, the hammer is formed by a process including the steps of: providing a first volume of an aqueous solution containing the predetermined measured amount of acrylic copolymer in a slot, disposing a first tail portion of the felt body in the solution, allowing the felt body to draw essentially all of the solution from the slot by natural wicking action, providing a second volume of an aqueous solution containing the predetermined measured amount of acrylic polymer in a slot, disposing a second tail portion of the felt body in the solution in the slot, and allowing the felt body to draw essentially all of the solution from the slot by natural wicking action.
