From Wikipedia
The orphica is a portable piano invented by Carl Leopold Röllig in the late 18th century. Like a guitar, the orphica could be held on a shoulder strap, thus being an early forerunner of the modern keytar.
Only a few orphicas were made in Vienna from 1795 to 1810; about 30 orphicas are still in existence today.
