An example of not the most difficult to learn and elegant instrument, which did not just become a unique toy, like many of its fellows, but became a permanent member of some musical groups. The tapping technique and uncomplicated sound brought Harpejji into the hands of progressive metal classics Dream Theatre. Is it possible to advertise better among the audience of lovers of unconventional sizes, tunes and everything unusual in general?
A nice variation on the synthesizer theme in its simplicity. The only difference is that the musician not only has the ability to press the keys, but also to move them up and down, like the faders on a sound engineer’s remote control. Now you don’t have to pay that lazy booth guy and try to turn up the volume with your toes.
There have been many attempts in history to classify musical instruments. In the academic field it is common to divide instruments into strings, wind, percussion, folk, keyboards, etc. This classification has many shortcomings, first of all, its criteria are not clear: strings and wind instruments are separated on the basis of sound source, percussion – on the basis of type of sound production, folk instruments – on the basis of scope of use, keyboard instruments – on the basis of sound regulator. Moreover, folk instruments include instruments that are not popular among the people (keyboard gusli, bayan); the piano, which is also a string and percussion instrument, is also considered to be a keyboard instrument.
