[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] The utility model provides a percussion instrument for striking a piano, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the present invention comprises a bracket 1, with a plurality of key assemblies 2 mounted on the front side of the bracket 1, and a plurality of steel pipe assemblies 3 mounted on the top of the bracket 1. The key assemblies 2 include a support base 21, to which a movable member 22 is rotatably connected via a bearing. A key plate 23 is mounted on one end of the movable member 22, and a striking member 24 is mounted on the other end of the movable member 22. A striking head 241 is provided at the top of the striking member 24, and each striking head 241 is located directly below a steel pipe assembly 3. Through the ingenious combination of the bracket, key assembly, and steel pipe assembly, the present invention creates a novel percussion instrument that retains the elegant appearance of a traditional piano while incorporating the playing style of percussion instruments, providing more possibilities for music creation and performance.

[0025] Each key assembly is designed with a support base, a movable part, a keyboard and a striking part. The movable part is rotatably connected to the support base through a bearing, so that when the player presses the keyboard, the movable part can rotate flexibly, driving the striking part to move upward, realizing a rapid transition from key pressing to striking action, and improving the response speed and playing flexibility of the instrument.

[0026] The striking head at the top of the striking piece is precisely designed to be located directly under each steel pipe component, ensuring that every strike acts accurately on the steel pipe, producing a clear and accurate sound effect, which is crucial to ensuring the pitch and timbre of the instrument.

[0027] This design allows the performer to change the timbre and volume by controlling the strength and speed of the strikes. Unlike traditional pianos that rely on a hammering mechanism, this instrument produces sound through direct physical strikes, providing the performer with a more direct and dynamic way of musical expression, enhancing the expressiveness and appeal of the music.

[0028] This instrument is not only adaptable to the performance needs of classical music, but also, due to its unique percussion method, is more suitable for the exploration of modern, experimental or cross-border music styles, providing musicians with a broader creative space.

[0029] In this embodiment, the bottom of the bracket 1 is supported and fixed by the supporting legs 4. This design effectively enhances the stability and load-bearing capacity of the entire instrument, ensuring that the instrument will not shake or fall due to external forces during performance, and provides a stable and reliable performance platform for the performer.

[0030] Specifically, a key support plate 11 is mounted on the front side of the bracket 1, and the key assemblies 2 are arranged in equal intervals on the key support plate 11. This design not only makes the instrument look neater and more beautiful, but also makes it easier for the player to quickly and accurately find the key they want to strike, thereby improving the fluency and accuracy of the performance.

[0031] Furthermore, a steel pipe support plate 12 is installed on the top of the bracket 1, and the steel pipe assemblies 3 are arranged in equal intervals and installed on the steel pipe support plate 12. This design ensures the stability and positioning accuracy of the steel pipe assembly, so that each steel pipe can accurately correspond to the striking head below, thereby ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the striking effect.

[0032] Furthermore, the striking head 241 is circular. This shape helps disperse the impact force when striking the steel pipe, reducing local stress concentration, thereby extending the service life of the striking head and the steel pipe. Furthermore, the circular striking head also produces a softer and more uniform tone.

[0033] Furthermore, the steel pipe assembly 3 includes a steel pipe body 31, both ends of which are fixed to the steel pipe support plate 12 by locking bolts 32. This fixing method is not only easy to install, but also allows the position of the steel pipe to be adjusted or replaced with steel pipes of different lengths as needed, increasing the flexibility and customizability of the instrument.

[0034] Furthermore, the length of the steel tube body 31 decreases from left to right. This design mimics the scale arrangement of a traditional piano, but here the pitch changes by varying the length of the steel tube. This design not only makes the instrument more attractive in appearance but also provides the player with an intuitive scale reference, facilitating performance and composition.

[0035] Furthermore, a connecting rod 221 is integrally formed on one end of the movable member 22. The outer end of the connecting rod 221 is bolted to the striking member 24. A key mounting plate 222 is mounted on the other end of the movable member 22. The key mounting plate 222 is bolted to the key plate 23. The bottom of the support base 21 is welded to the key support plate 11. This structural design strengthens the connection between the movable member, the striking member, and the key plate, ensuring the stability and durability of each component during performance. Furthermore, the bottom of the support base 21 is welded to the key support plate 11, further enhancing the structural stability of the entire instrument.

[0036] When the percussion instrument of the utility model is used, the player first sits in front of the instrument, faces the key assembly 2, and prepares to start playing. When the player presses a certain key plate 23, the key plate 23 drives the movable part 22 to rotate around the bearing on the support seat 21 through the key mounting plate 222. The rotation of the movable part 22 further drives the striking part 24 to move upward through the connecting rod 221, so that the striking head 241 accurately strikes the corresponding steel pipe body 31. The circular structure of the striking head 241 helps to disperse the impact force, reduce stress concentration, and produce a soft and uniform tone. Due to the different lengths of the steel pipe body 31, the pitch produced when each steel pipe is struck is also different, thereby achieving a change in the scale.

[0037] The player can change the timbre and volume by controlling the force and speed of striking the keyboard 23. A greater force and a faster speed will usually produce a louder, brighter timbre; whereas a smaller force and a slower speed will produce a softer, darker timbre.

[0038] When the player stops striking the keyboard 23, the movable member 22 and striking member 24 return to their initial positions under the influence of gravity, ready for the next performance. The instrument's design allows for adjustment of the steel tube assembly 3 and replacement of the steel tube body 31 with different lengths to accommodate different performance requirements or musical styles. The secure connection between the movable member 22, striking member 24, and keyboard 23 ensures the stability and durability of all components during performance.

[0039] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are merely preferred examples of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Various changes and improvements may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such changes and improvements fall within the scope of the present invention. The scope of protection claimed in the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
