Abstract

A musical instrument includes a fixed member; a movable member displaceable in response to a playing operation of the musical instrument, the movable member being displaceable relative to the fixed member from a first state where the movable member is in an initial position to a second state where the movable member is displaced from the initial position; a detectable circuit including a magnetic or conductive body and disposed on the movable member; and a detector circuit including a coil disposed on the fixed member and configured to output a detection signal corresponding to a voltage that is dependent on a distance between the detectable circuit and the coil. A distance between the detectable circuit and the coil in the first state is smaller than a distance between the detectable circuit and the coil in the second state.
