Description

The present invention relates to a connection terminal for connecting headphones / headsets, which is provided in an electronic musical instrument such as an electronic piano, and an electronic device that outputs voice / sound such as a personal computer.

Generally, an electronic piano is provided with a headphone terminal for listening to a performance sound through headphones. Normally, one or two headphone jacks are provided near the keyboard, such as a shelf board located under the keyboard. However, the conventional two headphone jacks are not easy to use, so the headphone jacks are used. Some shelves are provided separately on the left and right sides (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

By the way, in piano lessons, high schools, university piano lessons, etc., one or a small number of instructors often instruct a large number of students. In this case, a plurality of electronic pianos are arranged in one room / classroom, and each student practices the electronic piano while listening to his / her own performance sound through headphones. In such a situation, if the electronic piano is equipped with two headphone terminals, the instructor patrols the room / classroom while holding the headphones, and the headphone terminal of the electronic piano played by the student is used as the headphone. You can plug in the earphones to listen to the students' performances and teach yourself on the spot.
