Keyboardist - online puzzles

A keyboardist is a musician who plays keyboard instruments. Until the early 1960s musicians who played keyboards were generally classified as either pianists or organists. Since the mid- 1960s, a plethora of new musical instruments with keyboards have come into common usage, requiring a more general term for a person who plays them. These keyboards include:

electric pianos such as the Fender Rhodes and Wurlitzer electric piano

electronic pianos such as the Roland Digital Piano

Hammond and other electric organs such as the Farfisa and Vox Continental

analog synthesizers such as Moog, ARP, and units produced by a variety of other manufacturers such as Alesis.
