ABSTRACT:
A musical instrument includes a multiplicity of circular endless magnetizable tapes with a plurality of different tracks, a multiplicity of pick-up heads for each of the tracks and a multiplicity of variable-gain amplifiers connected to the tracks, respectively. Keys having respective contact means for energizing each of the amplifiers, cause a multiplicity of magnetic elements to generate respective voltages in coils, each voltage being proportional to the force with which an individual key has been depressed. This voltage sets the gain of a respective amplifier, so that the loudness of a recorded tone heard is proportional to the actuating force of a key.
