Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure provide for mechanisms for providing muting functions for a piano system. In some embodiments, a piano system according to the disclosure includes a plurality of linkage structures coupled to a plurality of keys, a plurality of strings corresponding to the plurality of linkage structures, and a muting unit configured to place at least one elastic structure at a first position to implement a first mode for the piano system. In some embodiments, the first position is located between the linkage structures and the strings. In the first mode, the elastic structure may be placed at the first position to prevent an interaction between at least one of the linkage structures and the strings when one of the plurality of keys is depressed.
Claims20
A piano system, comprising:
- a plurality of linkage structures coupled to a plurality of keys;
- a plurality of strings corresponding to the plurality of linkage structures;
- and
- a muting unit configured to place at least one elastic structure at a first position to implement a first mode for the piano system, wherein
- the first position is located between the linkage structures and the strings,
- the at least one elastic structure is placed at the first position to be struck by a block head of at least one of the linkage structures, and prevent an interaction between the block head of the at least one of the linkage structures and the strings when one of the plurality of keys is depressed.
A method implemented on at least one device, each of the at least one device having at least one processor and a storage, the method comprising:
- switching a piano system to a first mode;
- and
- providing, using a muting unit, at least one muting function to implement the first mode, comprising:
- placing an elastic structure at a first position to be struck by a block head of a linkage structure, and prevent an interaction between the block head of the linkage structure and a string of the piano system when a key of the piano system is depressed, wherein the first position is located between the linkage structure and the string.
