Hi,
I'm looking for ideas! I am creating a Floor Piano - like the large one used in the film "Big" (Chopsticks etc).
The Keys are 600mm X 200mm and my current design uses microswitches at the front of the keys. This means hinging the key at the back and obviously the key moves up and down slightly as it is walked on albeit only 2mm.
Looking at Videos of professional Floor Pianos, the keys do not move so I guess the use something other than a microswitch to sense a key press.
Possibly pressure strip? Does anyone at least has a pointer for me as I have come up blank.
As always, any advice will be gratefully received.
Kevin
