Unknown Electric Piano

I really liked the simplicity of this electric piano and it was only a dollar so I put a couple damper type pots and a switch on it and added 2 body contacts on the top rail that when you lightly press both can have some bizarre glitchy low feedback sounds. And you can make a vibrato with the right body contact. I think starving the voltage on this one can make some really interesting broken wobbly noises. this Epiano was really cheap I think $1 at a thrift store like most and had a flower sticker and a russian girls name written in marker across the back. I put a smiley face sticker on the front and will probably try to get my girl to paint this psychadelic and use with an echo circuit probably.

 

The few bends on the simple Epiano.
