Anyone heard of a true electric piano?

on: October 13, 2003, 05:49:12 AM

I'm really curious if anyone has ever built a piano with electromagnetic pickups and real strings. Is there anything comercially available? Any tips would be appreciated.

Looks like I'm really bumping this one, so you probably will never see this reply. Anyway, yes. Yamaha made an electric piano called the CP70. It had real piano strings and pickups. It sounded all right, but was impossible to keep in tune.
