Piano is a very versatile instrument. It can be used to play many different style of music. Piano has 88 keys and we have 10 fingers which allows almost countless possibilities of what we can be done on a piano. Just because we hear many classical pieces being played on the piano doesn't mean it's limited to that style. Today, we can hear piano or keyboard being used in almost every song and genre. The style and possibilities are endless given the right technique and practice.

The first version was the harpsichord, but that had no dynamics, and the second version is the piano we use today, named so because of its ability to play with dynamics. The harpsichord only plucked strings, but the piano hammers them.

Do pianos and harpsichords have the same number of keys?

Yes! But the tone of each keys are different. Actually, it depends on what you mean. If you mean the number of black and what keys on the keyboard, no, they do not all have the same number. A "standard" piano has 88 keys, and that is the most common, but not all pianos have that number.

Why does a piano have 88 keys?

Not all pianos have 88 keys, although most modern pianos do. Pianos have roughly 88 keys because of the reach of the the player. Early pianos often had 85 keys. There was pressure to standardise on a number because composers wouldn't want to to write for keyboards if not all pianos could play them. Some modern keyboards have extra keys; usually these are hidden under a flap that can be raised if required - some jazz players like to have the extra bass notes. Having the extra notes also adds resonounce to other (conventional) bass notes.
