The mechanical contrivance by means of which the impulse of the player's finger is transmitted to the strings of a pianoforte or to the valve of an organ pipe.

The distance between the underside of the strings and the playing surface.

the height of the guitar strings above a fret or fretboard, usually measured from the top of a fret to the bottom of the string.

In Project Builder, a command string supplied either by Project Builder or by the user that applies to files of a given type or types. An action is not restricted to a single file type; for example, if the action "Compile" is defined for both forms and C source files, selecting the menu item Compile Project will compile all .FMB and . files using the appropriate tools. See also: pre-defined action, user-defined action.

Height of the strings from the fretboard to the string itself.

the distance between the strings and the fretboard.

Action is the way that your strings on your guitar are setup.

The height of the strings from the fretboard

the action refers to how close the strings lie to the fretboard. If the action is low (the strings are very close the fretboard) then the strings knocking against the frets may produce a rattling noise. If, on the other hand, the action is high then the strings have to be pressed down further which make the guitar harder to play.

A term referring to the height of the strings above the frets and fretboard.

How far the strings are from the fretboard. "Low action" means the strings are very close to the frets. "High action" means they're farther away. Low action makes a guitar easier to play, but if the strings are too close to the frets, they'll touch the frets when they vibrate, causing fret buzz.

The operation as a piano's keys and hammers against its strings. The complete mechanism which, when the piano keys are struck, causes the hammers to strike the strings of the instrument and provides for the dampening of the sound when the keys are released.

The mechanism used to trigger a sound when you play a key on a keyboard. An instrument's action greatly affects how it feels to play. The action in a weighted electronic keyboard feels more like an acoustic piano's; the action in an unweighted keyboard feels more like an organ's.

the distance of the strings from the playing surface of the fingerboard; thus, "high" action means the strings are raised farther away from the fingerboard, and "low" action means they're closer to the fingerboard; qualitatively, "good action" is a matter of personal preference, but, generally speaking, lower action is easier to play.

The mechanism of the piano that produces the sound when the action of the fingers touching the keys causes the hammers to strike the strings.

A term generally used to describe the strings height above the tops of the frets.

The ability of a musical instrument to respond to a player's technique, which depends on many different factors according to the instrument. Guitar action is largely determined by the height of the strings from the finger board and may therefore be 'high' or 'low'. Keyboard action refers to the degree of sensitivity of the keyboard to the player's touch; touch-sensitive synthesizers, for example, react to the velocity and pressure of a player's hands for different effects such as crescendo and vibrato . Piano action describes the reaction of the mechanical parts of the piano to the player's touch.

The height of the strings above the fret board.

Describes the hieght of the strings above the tops of the frets. These would be term like "high action", and "low action". It can also describe the entire playing feel of an instrument. These would be term like "good action", and "easy action". - Category: Equipment and Gear

Punchline's first full-length album on Fueled by Ramen Records has notably hopeful and positive lyrics compared to bands with a similar fanbase, in the vein of pop punk and so-called 'emo' of the late 1990's and early 2000's. Steve Soboslai (guitar), Paul Menotiades (guitar), and Chris Fafalios (bass) split vocals on the album, most going to Steve, Paul, and Chris repectively. While PJ Caruso (drums) does not sing on the album, the rhythm section is a major driving force of the majority of songs on "Action."

The action of a stringed instrument is the distance between the fingerboard and the string, which determines how easy it is to sound notes when pressure is applied with the finger tips. Generally a low action is considered to be more playable, due to the lower amount of pressure needed to press the string to the fingerboard. However, if the action is set too low the instrument could suffer from an unwanted buzzing noise (on fretted instruments, this is known as fret buzz).

The action of a piano is the mechanical assembly which translates the depression of the piano keys into a felt hammer striking the strings. The illustration to the right is of a circa 1907 Wessell, Nickel and Gross Upright action; the parts are listed below.
