The Electric Piano

The first electric pianos appeared in the early 20th century and have been evolving, along with the available technology, since then. There are several types of piano included in the broader Electric Piano category:

• Electric pianos use metal strings or tines with a magnetic pickup
• Electronic pianos are non-acoustic, meaning they have no strings, tines or hammers; they’re a type of synthesizer that recreates piano sounds
• Digital pianos are also non-acoustic but use digital sampling technology to recreate the acoustic sound of piano notes
• Hybrid instruments are acoustic grand or upright pianos combined with MIDI (musical instrument digital interface) electronic features
