- Rocksichord abstract "The Rock-Si-Chord (sometimes incorrectly referred to as Rocksichord or Roxichord)[citation needed] is an electronic keyboard invented in 1967 to approximate the sound of the harpsichord. As its name suggests, it was intended primarily for use in rock music, where a standard acoustic harpsichord would be drowned out.The Rock-Si-Chord, manufactured by Rocky Mount Instruments (RMI), a division of Allen Organs Inc, was a solid-state instrument using one or two transistor oscillators per key, and was the first example of a type of instrument generally known as the electronic piano (contrast electric piano). Later RMI instruments also included piano sounds.The prototype Rock-Si-Chord gave the Philadelphia psychedelic rock band The Mandrake Memorial their signature sound.[citation needed]Composer George Crumb specifies the use of an electric harpsichord in his 1968 composition Songs, Drones, and Refrains of Death;[citation needed] however, he does not specifically call in the score for a Rock-Si-Chord, and thus it could also refer to a Baldwin Combo Harpsichord, an electromechanical instrument dating from the same era.Around the same time Terry Riley used a Rock-Si-Chord, among other keyboard instruments, in his piece A Rainbow in Curved Air.[citation needed]Orchestrator Jonathan Tunick used a combined Rock-Si-Chord/Electric Piano in the Stephen Sondheim musical "Company" (1970). He considers the instrument now obsolete and recommends the use of a current electric keyboard.[citation needed]Later notable examples include the 1990s band Quasi, but it has also been used in jazz (by Call Cobbs, Jr. and Sun Ra).[citation needed]".
