An electric piano functions electro-mechanically. It produces sound mechanically before turning it into an electronic signal using a pickup. It is different from an electronic piano, as some of its physical components are required to move to produce the electronic signal.
Invented in the 1920s, the electric piano became most popular between the 1960s and 1970s. It was used to replace the large and heavy piano that took up a lot of space when used on stage. Today, it is commonly used in homes and schools as an alternative to a grand or acoustic piano.
Graded hammer effect: To make your electric piano work like a traditional grand piano, choose one made with the graded hammer effect featuring light keys for high registers and heavy keys for bass registers.
Key weight: To get the sound of an acoustic piano, choose an electric piano with keys that weigh the same as those in an acoustic piano.
