[ Post a Response | The Electric Piano Board ]
Posted by Trevor on 7/18/2006, 4:02 pm, in reply to "Re: Electric minipiano! What's this all about?" There are some pictures of it at the craigslist ad (which the owner hasn't taken down yet). Link below. I'll have pictures up of it soon enough. Right now I'm working extensively on it, removing the action from the frame, making it a handmade portable electric piano, borrowing what I've heard about the Yamaha CP series. I'll definitely keep the pickups installed in it, but as far as the amplifier is concerned, I don't know. It's really heavy. I might try to construct a seperate amp that's integrated into the piano to make it gigable.

I've found this much out. I only heard one very short comment about my particular model, and it didn't say much. Someone was talking about some musician or actor, and saying that they saw a brief scene where he was playing a Eavestaff Mini Piano with electrics; amp, pickup. He considered it the first electric piano, but I don't know. I think it must have been manufactured in the 1950's or 60's.
