Jazz musicians: electric piano
9 jazz musicians in the atlas play electric piano, including Herbie Hancock, Dr. John, Gil Evans, Karl Jenkins and Chuck Mangione. Open a profile for dates, discography and line-ups.
An electric piano is a musical instrument that has a piano-style musical keyboard, where sound is produced by means of mechanical hammers striking metal strings or reeds or wire tines, which leads to vibrations which are then converted into electrical signals by pickups (either magnetic, electrostatic, or piezoelectric). The pickups are connected to an instrument amplifier and loudspeaker to reinforce the sound sufficiently for the performer and audience to hear.
