When you play the piano what vibrates in the piano?
Believe it or not, the Piano is a Percussion instrument, like the drums. This is because the Piano works by tiny hammers hitting strings when you press down on the keys. If you open a piano and look into it whilst you play, you can see the hammers hitting the strings, and causing them to vibrate; giving off the note.
How do you clean Yamaha keyboard keys?
I use Cory's ultimate piano care kit for my piano. This kit includes a cleaner, Piano Polish, a cleaning cloth, and a polishing cloth. It quickly and easily removes wax build-up and grime. It gives a clean look to your piano. You should also use protective cover of a piano keyboard to protect your piano from dust. I have used Cory Satin Sheen Piano Cleaner and Conditioner from Quality Piano Supplies and it worked very well.
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!
Who decided how many keys a piano would have?
Many different people have created different versions of the piano, such as the Grand and the Steinway Grand pianos, but almost every modern piano has 36 black keys and 52 white keys for a total of 88 keys (seven octaves plus a minor third cord, from A0 to C8). Although, some pianos, such as Bosendorfer pianos, for example, extend the normal range down into F0, with one other model going as far as C0, making a full eight octave range. These extra keys are sometimes hidden under a small hinged lid than can cover the keys to prevent visual disorientation for pianists unfamiliar with the extra keys. On others, the colors of the extra white keys are reversed (black instead of white). The extra keys are added primarily for the increased resonance for the associated strings; that is, they vibrate sympathetically with other strings whenever the damper pedal is depressed and thus give a fuller tone. Only a very small number of works composed for piano actually uses these notes. More recently, the Stuart and Sons piano company has also manufactured extended-range pianos, with the first 102 key piano. On their instruments, the frequency range extends from C0 to F8, which is the widest practical range for the acoustic piano. The extra keys are the same as other keys in appearance.Small studio upright acoustical pianos with only 65 keys have been manufactured for use by roving pianists. Known as gigpianos and still containing a cast iron harp, these are comparatively lightweight and can be easily transported to and from engagements by only two people. As their harp and is longer than that of a spinet or console piano, they have a stronger bass sound that to some pianists is well worth the trade-off in range that a reduced key-set offers.The toy piano manufacturer Schoenhut started manufacturing both grands and uprights with only 44 or 49 keys, and shorter distance between the keyboard and the pedals. These pianos are true pianos with action and strings. The pianos were introduced to their product line in response to numerous requests in favor of it.
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 do you get permanent marker off piano keys?
I don't know if this will work on piano keys, but dry erase markers erase permanent marker on white boards. Write over the mark, then erase the dry erase. If the dry erase doesn't come off the piano keys easily, use alcohol.

Are the keys on a piano different from a keyboard?
Nope, not at all :) Same things except that on the ends, they might be cut off differently Touch is different, of course, because the piano is a mechanical instrument.

Etching on the piano inThe Piano Lesson?
I wouldn't etch esp if it's a well-made and expensive piano, nor would I do so on one with plastic keys (mainly this applies to keyboards). I would instead use stick-on coloured circles which are easliy removable and which you can write the notes on each one placed on the keys. It's also off putting in general, esp if you ever decide to sell your piano/keyboard.
