Kurzweil - EGP / ESP - - Electronic keyboard - Unknown - 1986

A unique collectible from 1986 for vintage synthesizer enthusiasts, music history fans, and admirers of Robert Moog's work.

A special piece of music history: the Kurzweil Ensemble Grande Piano (model EGP), produced in Japan in 1986. This instrument was one of Kurzweil's first consumer-market digital keyboards and was co-developed with the involvement of synthesizer pioneer Robert Moog — the legendary name behind the Moog synthesizer. Instead of pure electronic synthesis, the EGP used digitized samples of acoustic instruments for a more realistic soundscape, which was groundbreaking at the time.
