A keyboard device and a musical sound emission method are provided. A top lid is formed into a hollow structure including a lower plate and an upper plate facing the lower plate. Since vibrating bodies are fixed to an inner surface of the lower plate, the vibrating bodies can cause the lower plate to vibrate and thereby emit musical sound generated through the vibration from an outer surface side of the lower plate to the outside. On the other hand, the musical sound emitted from an inner surface side of the lower plate is blocked by the upper plate, and it is thus possible to curb mutual cancelation of musical sound in opposite phases emitted from each of the inner surface and the outer surface of the lower plate. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently emit musical sound to the surroundings of the top lid.

Keyboard device and musical sound emission method

The disclosure provides a sound emitting device includes a housing in which a corner is formed by an inner surface of a first outer wall part and an inner surface of a second outer wall part; a speaker device which includes a sound emitting part that emits a sound toward a main opening formed to penetrate through the first outer wall part and is arranged inside the housing; and a guide that is arranged between the second outer wall part and the speaker device. An auxiliary opening is provided to penetrate through the second outer wall part, and at least a part of multiple auxiliary openings is located at the same position as the sound emitting part in a length direction of the corner, and the guide includes a bottom part that projects from one of the speaker device and the second outer wall part toward the other thereof.

Sound emitting device, electronic keyboard musical instrument and sound emitting method

Provided is an electronic keyboard instrument and sound releasing method thereof. The electronic keyboard instrument includes: a plurality of keys, a housing that supports the plurality of keys, and one or more speakers arranged in the housing. At least one of the speakers is configured as a flat-plate speaker that includes a vibrating membrane on which a pattern of a conducting wire is formed and a pair of magnet plates disposed facing both surfaces of the vibrating membrane, and the flat-plate speaker vibrates the vibrating membrane with an electromagnetic force accompanying energization of the conducting wire.
