Electrical instruments first appeared at the close of the 19th century, but it was another 50 years before an affordable and widely distributed electronic keyboard became available. Its story began in the developments of the 1920s and '30s, but came to fruition in 1947 in Versailles, a part of France more famous for its palace, treaties, beheadings and references to brioche than it is for electronic music. It was in this year that a chap named Constant Martin invented a small instrument designed to be bolted under the keyboard of a piano and used to imitate orchestral solo instruments. It was the Clavioline. | |||

Descripción sintética
Before the birth of the synthesizer, the only commercially produced instrument that offered a sound that was something more than a glorified organ was the monophonic Clavioline electronic keyboard instrument, which was actually invented by Constant Martin in France in 1947! It consisted of a 3-octave keyboard with 18-22 switches that would alter the timbre of the sound produced through the matching amplifier/speaker unit, and it also added vibrato and other effects.
