Abstract (en)
A multi-key electronic music instrument includes a main body (1) including operational keys (11) distributed in at least two rows and functional keys (11a), and a circuit board (2) having an integrated circuit (IC) (3) saving at least seven electronic sounds corresponding to music notes of Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La and Si in the diatonic scale, functional programs and electronic games. Each of the operational keys (11) corresponds to at least one music note. When one of the operational keys (11) is pressed down, the IC (3) generates a sound corresponding to the music note. When the functional key (11a) is pressed, the IC (3) executes the corresponding function in the functional programs, such as raising a tone of the music note. When the electronic games are played, the operational keys (11) and the function keys (11a) are used as controlling keys to play games.
