===Late 19th century early 20th century===
 
The earliest purely electronic instrument was the [[Teleharmonium]] or Telharmonium, developed by [[Thaddeus Cahill]] in [[1897]]. Simple inconvenience hindered the adoption of the Teleharmonium: the instrument weighed seven tons and was the size of a boxcar. The first practical electronic instrument is often viewed to be the [[Theremin]], invented by Professor Leon Theremin circa 1919 - 1920. Another early electronic instrument was the [[Ondes Martenot]], which was used in the ''[[Turangalîla Symphony-Symphonie]]'' by [[Olivier Messiaen]] and also by other, primarily French, composers, such and [[Andre Jolivet]].
