The Electrochord (1933)

The Electrochord was an electro-acoustic piano designed by the German engineer Oskar Vierling in 1933. The instrument was manufactured by the Förster firm of Lõbau. The Elechtrochord worked by converting resonating piano strings into electronic sounds in a similar way to Vierling's Neo-Bechstien Piano
