Now, I might consider calling a Fender Rhodes or a Wurlitzer piano a piano, because they're basically the piano equivalent of an electric guitar. I would never called a synthesiser, whether played by keyboard or not, a piano.

But see, in regards to my piano, which basically sparked this whole thing, it is pretty much a sexified Rhodes. So given what you just said it is an electric piano.

ASturge:
When my keyboard is set to guitar, It sounds like a guitar.

When I play my Guitar it sounds like a guitar.

That doesn't mean that the keyboard is a guitar. It just sounds like one.

blindsuperhero:
Maybe I misunderstood how a Rhodes works, but I know that Wurlitzer pianos at least have hammers that hit tuned bells, which are then amplified. If your piano has hammers that hit things, then yes, I might allow it to be called a piano

--- Quote from: Mnementh ---A solid body guitar and an acoustic guitar are still using the same method to create the sound, no matter that one doesn't have a built in "amp."  Yours is using means other than what a piano uses to reproduce the sound of a piano.  It's just a very accurate keyboard.

Okay, then let's look at this.



This is a Line 6 Variax Modeling guitar. It is powered by batteries or a plugin, has no pickups or sound hole. It works entirely differently than an acoustic or electric guitar. It is in essence a guitar that imitates the sounds of many guitars and instruments.  Is it still a guitar? I think so.
