Electronic musical instruments had been around in some form since the late nineteenth century.


1. Telharmonium Or Dynamophone – The World's First Electronic Synthesizer
The Telharmonium was an early electrical organ, developed by Thaddeus Cahill circa 1896 and patented in 1897. The electrical signal from the Telharmonium was transmitted over wires; it was heard on the receiving end by means of "horn" speakers.
