Electro -mechanical Keyboards
These four keyboard models spanned the decade of the 1960's and helped shape the sound of classic rock keys...

Clavibes
This keyboard operated almost like a harpsichord, using small rubber plectra to pluck small steel blades. It featured a vibrato and a few filters named after instrument names (metallophone, xylophone, music box, etc.).
Guitarkeys
The blades in this reed instrument are constructed to allow chords. There is also a lever to activate the plectrum mechanism.
