Can piano use a guitar amp?

Answer 1

I was wondering the same question, but I think the answer is moot/debatable, depending on several factors, namely the keyboard being used, the amp in question, and the restuls expected.

In general, the answer will be yes, but the results may not be ideal, as the amp may not be optimized for the keyboard.

If you just want amplification and not to picky, don't need loud volume or the optimum frequency response and sound quality is not expected, it may suit the purpose.

Some amps may do the job better than others, and some keyboard may have a stronger signal anc cleaner output to work better with a particular am than another.

I would think a good bass amp would be better because of the lower bototm end, but sometime like the Roland AC60 acoustic guitar amp that I have that I ahven't yet tried out with my Roland Fantom X6 keybaord might be a good one because in addition to the mic and guitar inputs, it has stereo 1/4" inputs on the back panel.

The best thing is just try it out. Unless you crank it and have the keybaor dvolume up and overdrive the speakers, I don't think it would hurt, but you may want to confer with an audio professional for that model or even that amp's manufacturer for their insight and opinion.

Answer 2

The piano is not considered a guitar, but both instruments are, in fact, string instruments. The piano, while considered that it has many other versions (like the electronic keyboard), is in fact a string instrument because the sound from it comes from the strings - other versions, like the electronic keyboard are not. So, is the piano a guitar? No. But they are both string instruments.

Answer 3

Yes, but in long term it can damage it. High or very low tones can harm it. Neither a bass or guitar amp are safe to use with a synth. Just buy a mini console and a speaker.
