Source sentences:
text: The strings are played using the plucking mechanism with the help of quills attached to the jack that triggers the note when the key is pressed.
text: Harpsichord has a mechanism similar to the guitar plectrum that plucks the strings when the keys on the keyboard are pressed.
text: There is no single answer: in the most general of terms, it is often described as "warm" and sustained (although the organ is much more sustained, as it has a constant stream of air to keep the vibrations going while the key is pressed, and a piano tone dies out over time.)
text: It's my understanding that due to the plucking mechanism, there is no variation in volume when the keys are pressed harder or softer, and that this is one of the main differences between the harpsichord and the piano.
text: When the key is pressed, the tangent strikes the strings above, causing them to sound in a similar fashion to the hammering technique on a guitar.
text: When the keys are pressed, blades, called tangents, rise to strike the strings above them.
text: It produces sound by plucking a string when a key is pressed.
text: When the key is pressed, the jack is raised, and the plectrum touches the string and begins to bend.
text: It produces sound by plucking a string when each key is pressed.
text: With the piano, striking a string without immediately damping it allows the sound to resonate and persist for longer time blending with other sounds if other keys are pressed subsequently.
text: While playing the piano, you have full control over the volume of sound produced, meaning you can either play soft or loud depending on the way the key is pressed.
text: When the key is pressed, the jack is raised (which is a tongue with a small guitar pick called a plectrum ).
text: a stringed musical instrument with a keyboard, often with two manuals: the strings are plucked by points of leather or quill when the keys are pressed, producing short, abrupt tones
text: It produces sound by plucking a string when each key is pressed.
text: Also, the vibrations of one string will invite its adjacent twin string to resonate in sympathy as long as the key is pressed.
text: A harpsichord is predecessor to the piano and a keyboard instrument that produces its sound by plucking strings with quills when the keys are pressed.
text: When a key is pressed, a lever moves a jack up toward the string.
text: To activate the 'plucking' mechanism takes a certain amount of force; combine this with the fact that a single key may be plucking more than one string (if the harpsichord has many registers or manuals - like using different keyboards and sets of pipes on an organ), and you can work out that if the key is pressed too timidly you will get an untidy start to the note.
text: It produces sound by plucking a string when each key is pressed.
text: It produces sound by plucking a string when each key is pressed.
text: When the key is pressed completely down, the jack tilts and disengages itself from the intermediate lever, which then falls back, permitting the hammer to fall most of the way back to its rest position, even while the key is still depressed.
text: It produces sound by plucking a string when each key is pressed.
text: There is no single answer: in the most general of terms, it is often described as "warm" and sustained (although the organ is much more sustained, as it has a constant stream of air to keep the vibrations going while the key is pressed, and a piano tone dies out over time.)
