keyboardists
Synthesizer band members
Keyboardists are musicians who play keyboard instruments—pianos, organs, synthesizers, or electronic keyboards.
The term usually refers to players in rock, jazz, or pop bands rather than classical pianists: The band's keyboardist switched between a Hammond organ and a Moog synthesizer.
