ou don't get the full range of keys on a keyboard so in that sense you can't play a lot of Beethoven on a keyboard but if you want a lot of sounds with effects than a keyboard is better. Generally if you just want to play the piano in its original sound it is best to have a piano as the sound is better and there is a full range of keys.

Are the keys on the xylophone the same on a piano?

The keyboard and piano are NOT the same, for a couple reasons: - The piano has a wider range. - It is more real and acoustic. - Better to practice on than a keyboard. If you are sending your child to piano lessons, it is best to buy a piano. A piano will teach them how to sit correctly, and how to actually press the notes far better than a keyboard will. And most keyboard keys are smaller than the piano's keys are, so that is not a good thing, if they want to practice right. Also, when your child reaches a higher level in piano, pieces will require more strength and power. If you happen to bang too much on the keyboard, the keys will break and the electronic sound will be damaged in time as well. However, a piano can take that kind of vigorous aggression. Hope this helped!


What is the difference between an electric keyboard and an electric piano?

There are several differences. Electronic keyboards can create a variety of sounds and effects, while the piano makes many possible variations to the same set of sounds, as generated by the keys and pedals. Pianos (acoustic) make sounds using strings (the keys trigger the strings). Because of this, pianos are 'touch sensitive' - you can change the sound depending on how you press the keys. Also, pianos have a LOT MORE keys than on keyboards - most piano pieces cannot by played on keyboards as there are not enough keys. Keyboard music tends to be a lot simpler and easier than piano music. It often has simple chords in the bass and a melody in the treble rather than more complex harmonies on the piano. Because keyboards are electronic they also have different 'sounds' - they can play the sound of many other instruments, not just piano. As a general rule, if you can play the piano you can play the keyboard, but if you can play the keyboard it doesn't mean you can also play the piano!

How does a keyboard produce sound?

Answer A keyboard works completely different than a piano does. A keyboard is an electronic instrument that works similar to the keyboard on your computer. You know that when you type something on your computer's keyboard, the letters just electronicly appear on the computer screen. This is very much like a musical keyboard works. When you press a key on a keyboard, this just sends an electronic signal through the instrument, and the sound comes out the interal speakers. There is a more scienific definition for all of this, but this is the simple definition.


What type of instrument is the keyboard?

"Keyboard" can describe any number of instruments. The organ, in the classical sense, is a wind instrument. The piano is a percussion instrument as is the harpsichord, clavichord and virginal although the strings of the harpsichord are plucked so it has been said that the harpsichord falls into the same class as harp. Electronic organs are electronic instruments. However Hammond (and other) tone wheel organs are electro-mechanical instruments. Some pipe organs contain electronically generated voices so they are considered hybrid instruments.
