FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. Conventionally, a printed circuit board 6 to which a rubber contact switch 7 is connected is fixed to a keyboard chassis 5 via a spacer 9 with a mounting screw 10, and a key 1 is pressed. A structure in which the actuator 1a presses the rubber contact switch 7 and closes the switch circuit (these are collectively referred to as
For convenience, it is referred to as the main contact point). With this device alone, it was not possible to produce modifying effects such as applying vibrato, changing the volume, or applying a bender to only the pressed keys during normal performance.

The present invention is provided to solve these problems. 4 is a printed circuit board fixed on the keyboard chassis 5, and the upper surface of the printed circuit board 4 has a plurality of fixed contacts 4a as shown in FIG. Printed circuit boards have some elasticity. A pressure-sensitive conductor 3 is arranged so as to be in contact with the fixed contact 4a, and a stopper felt 2 is fixed on the pressure-sensitive conductor 3. printed circuit board 4,
The pressure-sensitive conductor 3 and the stopper felt 2 are collectively referred to as a main contact for convenience. By pressing key 1 during performance, actuator 1b hits stopper felt 2. The electrical resistance that the pressure-sensitive conductor 3 exerts on the fixed contact 4a changes depending on the difference in pressure at that time. As shown in FIG. 3, if the key pressing force is strong, the electric resistance value is low and current flows easily through the fixed contact 4a. Utilizing this phenomenon, it produces modifier effects necessary for musical expression, such as vibrato, volume changes, benders, etc., and has great practical value.
