Can you answers these questions with fact and some kind of vaild resource?- materials used to make an electric keyboard (not a computer keyboard, a piano keyboard)- country it was invented in/first used in- what family it belongs into Thanks! 10 points to who answers all of them or 10 points who bothers to answer anyways.
I realize I should know more, but I'm sorry, I don't. As far as can remember the keyboard/synthesizer was invented by a man called Moog. Hope that helps a bit.
I played on an electric piano from when I was 3 to 14 (I'm 15 now) and I got to grade 8 standard in doing so. Mine was about ?150 (not sure what that is in dollars) and I got it from a second hand store. They're fine to learn on, but if and when you get a real piano you will feel the difference, mostly in the weight of the keys. I love my new piano, it's so much better than playing on an electric, but I do rate electric pianos very highly, and you can get a beautiful sound from them. Wouldn't recommend using a keyboard, depends on how serious you are about playing/learning. Good luck!
A bit broad, but I'll take a shot 1. Materials vary depending on the keyboard. Older keyboards use simpler components such as vacuum tubes and mechanical parts (tone wheels, tines, etc.). Several are encased in wood. Modern electronic keyboards are basically computers with dedicated functionality. Of course, analog keyboards are still produced as well that use simpler parts. This is about the simplest explanation I can give without going into more detail than is available here. 2. The earliest example of an electric keyboard that I'm aware of was the Telharmonium, developed in 1897 and introduced to the public in 1906 in New York. 3. The Hornbostel-Sachs classification system places instruments into 5 categories: idiophones, membranophones, chordophones, aerophones, and electrophones. The electric keyboard would belong to the last category. Hope this helps.
