electric piano
Amplified keyboard instrument
An electric piano is a keyboard instrument that produces sound through electromechanical or electronic means rather than acoustic strings struck by hammers.
The term covers instruments like the Fender Rhodes and Wurlitzer, which use hammers striking metal tines or reeds, amplified electronically.
Electric pianos dominated pop and jazz recordings from the 1960s through 1980s, prized for their warm, bell-like tone: The electric piano on that track is unmistakably Rhodes.
Now largely supplanted by digital keyboards that simulate their sound.
