The present disclosure relates to a method and system for providing tutorial functions. The method may include obtaining a piece of music selected by a user; determining a display mode that configures one or more display categories and a layout of the one or more display categories on a user interface; obtaining one or more content items corresponding to the one or more display categories, respectively, the one or more content items being associated with the piece of music; and generating an instruction to display the one or more content items on the user interface according to the layout.

An insulator is implemented such that a lower structure member to be brought into contact with a floor surface allows an upper structure member on which a piano is placed to be suspended through a cantilever spring member and a first wire, and a second wire connects the upper structure member and the lower structure member to each other in the horizontal direction, and the insulator thus functions so as to maintain intrinsic sound generated by the piano by free vibration in pendulum motion using the upper end of the first wire as a pivot, and richness of the sound is enhanced and transmission to a floor surface is inhibited, and, further, vibration caused by a key and a pedal being operated by a performer is reduced by elasticity of the cantilever spring member and the tensile force that acts on any of the second wires, and the performer does not feel uncomfortable with the operation.

In one embodiment, a method for the enhanced display of the hands of a pianist playing a piano is disclosed, including: (a) recording at least one video stream of at least one hand of a pianist playing a piano; and (b) while the pianist is playing the piano, using at least a portion of the piano as a display for displaying the video stream.

The present disclosure relates to a method and system for calibrating a musical device. In some embodiments, a method for calibrating a musical device includes: energizing an actuator to actuate a key using a force corresponding to a first intensity level; obtaining, from a sensor, a first sensor signal representing motion information of the key corresponding to application of the force; and calibrating the musical device based on the first sensor signal.

The present disclosure relates to a method and system for calibrating a musical device. In some embodiments, a method for calibrating a musical device includes: determining a first time corresponding to a first instruction that instructs a driving device to actuate a first component of a musical device using a first force; receiving first sensor data relating to motion information of the first component; determining a second time based on the first sensor data; determining, by a hardware processor, a first time deviation based on the first time and the second time; and calibrating the musical device based on the first time deviation.

Systems and methods for providing a piano system are provided. In some embodiments, the methods include receiving a plurality of key signals related to a first performance of a piece of music, wherein each of the plurality of key signals corresponds to motion of at least one key of a piano during the first performance; generating first performance information based on the plurality of key signals; receiving musical data related to a second performance of the piece of music; receiving musical data related to a second performance of the piece of music, generating second performance information based on the musical data; and providing content for presentation on a display device based on the first performance information and the second performance information. The methods can also include receiving at least one pedal signal corresponding to motion of a pedal of the piano during the first performance, and generating first performance information based on the pedal signal.

A music rack unit-mounting structure of a grand piano, for removably mounting a music rack unit on a piano body of the grand piano. Rear ends of a left-side engagement portion and a right-side engagement portion are configured to be capable of being placed on front ends of a left-side guide portion and a right-side guide portion from above, respectively, when the music rack unit is mounted on the piano body from the front. By sliding the music rack unit rearward from the placed state, the music rack unit is mounted on the piano body, while the left-side engagement portion and the right-side engagement portion are fitted on or in the left-side guide portion and the right-side guide portion, respectively.
