Klavee is the virtual restoration of a gem: the Czech Klaviphon, a plucked electric piano manufactured in the 60s in the Czech Republic.
There's no other Electric Piano like this one and it's never been recreated into a virtual instrument, until now. A rare-piece specially made for electric piano collectors.

The Czech Klaviphon is almost extinct. No parts can be found online and just a few of them still alive. This is why we wanted to make a virtual version of it: to keep its unique sound for further generation of musicians.
KLAVEE was built upon spectral modeling, a technique that assures perfect tone matching with the original instrument.
The Klaviphon is a plucked electric piano created in the Czech Republic in the 60s. Sound is generated by reeds plucked by wooden hammers. Sound on lower octaves is the classical reed-based. On upper register, the timbre turns in to a Kalimba-like sound, due to the nature of the hammer-hit direction (from bottom to top on the reed-edge).
