On any given radio station there's a good chance you'll hear the B-3. The Hammond is used in all types of music, including gospel, blues, jazz, funk, and rock. Keith Emerson used to take his B-3 and throw it around the stage, ride it like a horse, set it on fire, and stab it. Old Man Grand 10 velocity layers The concept of fashioning a keyboard to an instrument with strings, which vibrated when struck by hammers, was possibly conceived around the 14th to 15th century. For the next 250 years, the harpsichord was plucked, rather than struck. The clavichord was responsive to pressure of finger touch, its strings struck by miniature tangents. After the 1867 Paris Exposition it was apparent that European craftsmen would have to emulate the characteristics the American grands exhibited. German producers rose to the challenge. The piano's heyday lasted until 1914. The grand and upright were mature instruments by 1870. The next 50 years saw mostly cosmetic modifications to the grand casework.

The hydraulis was common in the Roman Empire, where its immensely loud tone was heard during games and circuses in amphitheaters and processions. Characteristics of this instrument have been inferred from mosaics, paintings, literary references and partial remains, but knowledge of details of its construction remain sparse, and almost nothing is known of the actual music it played. The sound is huge and moving.Cathedral Pipes (alloy) 10 velocity layers Pipes may be classified in several ways, each of which results in a different timbre: by the material they are made of (wood or metal) by the mechanism of sound production (flue pipes vs. reed pipes, also called labial and lingual) by the shape of the pipe (cylindrical, conical, or irregular) by the construction of the ends (open or closed)Because a pipe produces only one pitch at a
