Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a person to easily open/close a topboard of a grand piano by preparing an energizing means for energizing the topboard in an opening direction and setting up the energization force of the energizing means to a value capable of maintaining the topboard at a closed state by its dead weight. SOLUTION: The topboard 2 for covering the aperture of a side plate 1 is fitted to the side plate 1 through two hinges so as to be opened/closed. Two coil-like tortion springs 5 are integrated in a hinge pin 33. Each tortion spring 5 is constituted of a winding part externally wound around the pin 33, a 1st arm part 5b extended from one end of the winding part and a 2nd arm part extended from the other end of the winding part and bent and arranged between cylindrical parts 31a, 32a. The winding part is provided with repulsive force and the topboard 2 receives repulsive force from the arm part 5b and is energized in the opening direction. The energization force of these springs 5 is set up to a value capable of maintaining the topboard 2 at the closed state by its dead weight.
