12. A keyboard instrument comprising:
-
a keyboard having a plurality of keys arranged from a key corresponding to a low-note range to a key corresponding to a high-note range; a plurality of hammer members provided corresponding to the plurality of keys, whereby each hammer member applies an action load to a depressed key by rotating in conjunction with the key; and a single key load applying member which applies a key load to each of the keys by the corresponding hammer member coming in contact therewith when the hammer member is rotated, wherein a first portion of the key load applying member corresponding to a first key and a second portion of the key load applying member corresponding to a second key are different in at least one of thickness, level of elasticity, and level of viscosity.
