An automatic playing system may include a damper module for changing a sound generated by the automatic playing system. The damper module may include a damper board, a motion driver, and a supporter. The damper board may be configured to control at least one damper of the automatic playing system. The motion driver may be configured to drive the damper board and operated to perform at least one automatic playing function. The supporter may be configured to couple the damper board with the motion driver when the motion driver is operated.

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.

A pedal system for an organ pedal includes a holster having a body forming a U-shaped configuration, the body having a top surface; an inner surface; and two opposing sidewalls configured to removably engage with the organ pedal and configured to form a snug fit between the inner surface and an outer surface of the organ pedal; and an electronic pedal configured to engage with the holster and conductively coupled to an electronic device.

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.

An acoustic piano includes strings, a plurality of keys, a plurality of mechanical control members, a foot pedal mechanism kinematically connected to the plurality of mechanical control members, the foot pedal mechanism including a foot pedal configured to be manipulated to modulate an attribute of an audible output of the acoustic piano. The acoustic piano also includes at least one electromechanical actuator configured to be driven to move at least one mechanical control member, and a controller operably connected to the at least one electromechanical actuator. The controller is configured to receive a user-generated sensor signal and, in response to the user-generated sensor signal, generate at least one electrical signal to drive the at least one electromechanical actuator and thereby move the at least one mechanical control member to modulate the attribute.

A mute is positioned beneath the strings of a stringed instrument and adjusted to make contact with one or more of the instruments strings. In this manner, the mute may be used to selectively dampen or restrict the normal vibration of the strings and, consequently, the sound made by the strings. The end result is that the natural vibratory sounds associated with stringed instruments may be altered, using the mute to remove some or all of the natural frequencies, subharmonics, loudness and sustain associated with the vibration of the strings, essentially deadening the natural sound of the instrument. Additionally, in at least some preferred embodiments of the present invention, additional devices may be used to create and introduce new and enhanced sounds from the vibrations of the strings.

The foldable keyboard sustain pedal stabilizer is designed for use with either one keyboard sustain foot pedal or two keyboard sustain foot pedals. The foldable keyboard sustain pedal stabilizer comprises a stabilizer base, a pedal-retention area in cooperative engagement with the stabilizer base, a foldable section sandwiched between the stabilizer base and the pedal-retention area, and an underside having a non-slip surface. The foldable section is made of a flexible material such that the pedal-retention area folds onto the stabilizer base for packaging and transporting in a compact manner. The foldable keyboard sustain pedal stabilizer provides stable footing for the musician on damp floors for one foot or both feet while providing a foldable keyboard sustain pedal stabilizer that stabilizes either one or two keyboard sustain foot pedals. The foldable keyboard sustain pedal stabilizer has no moving parts and is compatible with essentially any keyboard sustain foot pedal.
