I think "electric" is a better adjective to use than "electronic" though. I like this distinction between the two: "Try playing the keyboard with the instrument UNPLUGGED from both the mains (if applicable) and any amplification. If it makes a musical sound (however faint) it IS an electric piano." Since, according to the user manual, "the Hohner Pianet N has mechanical vibrators (reeds) which are intonated by the keyboard action" and those vibrations are then "converted into electrical vibrations by electrodes," it does fit this definition of "electric piano."

Easy Piano Classics
I recently started learning some pieces from Easy Piano Classics in The Bastien Older Beginner Piano Library. (I posted a Telemann gavotte last week, and I've already recorded two more pieces.) The book is divided into periods of music history, and at the beginning of each section, there's a selection of pictures of keyboard instruments from that particular period. For "The Contemporary Period (1900-present)," one of the instruments is a Pianet N:
