Electronic melodic instruments
Kenneth A Macfadyen · Radio and Electronic Engineer · 1964
An historical survey of electronic melodic instruments requiring a performer is given, together with an appraisal of their relationship to the art of music. It is argued that the most promising role for this class of instrument is in the spheres of amateur music and the teaching of music rather than as a successor to traditional instruments. The principles of design of a new instrument for the former class of service are discussed.
