A keyboard assembly for an electronic musical instrument comprises at least a plurality of keys, a key support member and a plurality of key-return springs. The key support member rotatably supports the keys; and the key-return spring is provided between the key and key support member so as to press up the key to a normal position. Mechanical parameters which affect a key scaling to key-touch responses of the keys are sizes, shapes and locations of parts of the keyboard assembly, which are set by analyzing motions of an action mechanism of an acoustic piano. For example, weight of the key is adjusted using a deadweight member so as to provide a specific key-touch response for the key. An amount of elastic resilience, made by the key-return spring, is adjusted by changing at least one location, at which one end of the key-return spring is terminated, so as to provide a specific key-touch response for the key. Viscous resistance, made by viscous material, such as grease, which is provided between a selected portion of the key and some member, such as a key guide and a support-point member, is adjusted by changing shape and/or size of that member, so as to provide a specific key-touch response for the key. The key scaling is performed by changing the key-touch response with respect to each of the keys; or the key scaling is performed by changing the key-touch response with respect to a selected division of the keyboard.
