Guided Tour
All musical instruments have one thing in common: They produce sounds. However, they do so in very different ways. Since the early 20th century, electricity has also been used to create or modify sounds.

How that works and what electronic musical instruments there are is explained in this guided tour. Additional sound samples and experiments for presentation or in a hands-on mode “set the right tone”!
