Solo Voice Improves Piano Performance as New Invention
A recently invented musical adjunct for the piano, the Solo Voice, attaches to the right side of any piano and provides an electronic vocal soloist. It lets the pianist mimic violin, sax, horn, or other instruments without playing chords, freeing the left hand for accompaniment while controlling tone, attack, register, and vibrato via a set of front panel keys and a hidden speaker cabinet.
