A keyboard apparatus having mass bodies that pivotally move in accordance
with a key operation that facilitates key attachment operations. In a key
unit, a plurality of keys having driving parts are integrally connected
by a common base end part in a condition in which the keys are pivotally
movable. A plurality of mass bodies have driven parts disposed in
correspondence to the driving parts of the keys, respectively, and are
disposed in a pivotally movable condition with respect to a key frame
having a securing part. In an assembled state in which the common base
end part is secured to the securing part and the driving parts are
engaged with the corresponding driven parts, respectively, in response to
a pivotal movement of each of the keys, the corresponding driven parts
are driven by the driving parts, respectively, so that the corresponding
mass bodies pivotally move. By moving the key unit in a longitudinal
direction of the keys in a state in which the mass bodies are disposed in
the key frame, the driving parts of all of the keys of the key unit
simultaneously engage with the corresponding driven parts, respectively,
and when the driving parts are simultaneously engaged with the driven
parts, the common base end part is positioned at a position in which the
common base end part can be secured to the securing part.
