ABSTRACT:
An electronic instrument comprises a main electronic keyboard instrument body and a remote playing unit. The main electronic keyboard instrument body includes a keyboard, a sound generating circuit, and a processing circuit for discriminating a chord responsive to a manipulation of the keyboard and for determining a scale in accordance with the chord. The processing circuit causes the sound generating circuit to generate sound in accordance with the determined scale with a designated timing. The remote playing unit is electrically coupled to the main electronic keyboard instrument body, and comprises a plurality of elongated bar switches arranged side by side with an interval between two mutually adjacent bar switches. The timing with which the sound is generated by the main electronic keyboard instrument body is designated by manipulating and closing the bar switches.
