| | Electric piano - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In other words, an electric piano is to an acoustic piano as an electric guitar is to an acoustic guitar. | | | As with electric vs. acoustic guitars, the sound of most electric pianos differs considerably from that of an acoustic instrument, and the electric piano has thus acquired a musical identity of its own, far beyond that of simply being an portable, amplified piano. | | | An electric piano (e-piano) is an electric musical instrument whose popularity was at its greatest during the 1960s and 1970s. |

| | Rhodes piano - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | A Rhodes piano is a musical instrument, a brand of electric piano. | | | The action is similar to that of a conventional piano, but whereas in a conventional piano each key causes felt-covered hammers to strike sets of strings, in a Rhodes piano rubber-tipped hammers strike tuning fork-like constructions to sound the note. | | | Its distinctive sound has appeared particularly in jazz and rock songs of the last fifty years. |

| | How to choose an electric piano keyboard or digital piano to use with piano learning software |
| | The only condition is that this digital piano or piano keyboard has to be General MIDI compatible, which is true for most of the modern electric pianos. | | | Our piano software does not need additional built-in functionality that some of electric piano producers try to add to the modern piano keyboards, like lightning of piano keys, complicated piano teaching attachments, and multitude of music tones and effects. | | | Switch all pianos to the "Grand Piano" tone, and press piano keys, trying to understand which piano sound you like better. |

| | the Wurlitzer Electric Piano |
| | Wurlitzer released their first electric piano in the beginning of the 1950s. | | | The piano quickly became popular among touring bands who found it to be a lot lighter than the Rhodes and that the Wurlitzer's sound more easily could fit into a guitar based band than a Rhodes. | | | The piano received great attention from the branch organizations and in 1956 the first Wurlitzer album was made by Sun Ra and Demons at Play. |
