A Few Facts That You Might Like To Know About Electric Pianos
Electric pianos should not be confused with the electronic piano, as the two are different things. An Electric piano happens to be one type of musical instrument that is powered by electricity. It was from the late sixties that the popularity of these pianos witnessed a surge and that popularity reached its heydays in the seventies, when people went crazy about these instruments.
All those heavy, old, vintage and imposing looking un amplified stage pianos were replaced by the electric piano and the latter was mainly designed and targeted for either school use or home use. Many of these electric pianos were used in school piano labs and college piano labs where several students who use headphones could learn playing the piano simultaneously.
A synthesizer is an electronic instrument. But an electric piano is different, it is electro mechanical. The sounds are produced mechanically and there are pick ups, which convert sounds into electronic signals. It was in the late twenties that the earliest versions of electric piano were created and launched on the market.
One of the first was the Neo Bechstein electric grand piano that was manufactured in 1929. Vivi Tone Clavier created by Lloyd Loar was perhaps the earliest of the string less models.
These kinds of electric pianos were regularly manufactured until the middle of the eighties and then were gradually discontinued. But an announcement for revival of the electric piano has been declared by Rhodes in 2008.
Some of the popular examples of piano manufacturing companies who were famous for creation of these electro acoustic pianos were Yamaha, Wurlitzer, Rhodes etc and a few popular electric piano models were Yamaha CP 70 electric grand piano, Wurlitzer EP 200 A, Hohner Cembalet, Electra piano, Pianet, Clavinet, Rhodes piano.
A few famous musical pieces that were played on electric piano were Just the Way You Are by Billy Joel, Little Jeannie, Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word, Daniel by Elton John etc.
