piano

Although electronic organs have existed for many years, it is only with the advent of semi-conductors, and in particular, integrated circuits, that an electronic simulation of a piano has become possible. Over the past few years electronic pianos have rapidly grown in popularity, thanks largely to their compact size and relatively low cost compared to a conventional instrument. The Elektor piano offers all the facilities of a conventional piano, i.e. touch sensitive keying and pedals, plus a choice of three different voices, normal piano, honky-tonk piano and harpsichord. A modular design allows the constructor to build a piano with as many octaves as required.
