When you press a piano key, inside the piano a tiny hammer falls on the string connected to that key. That is what makes the sound of the key (the vibration of the string after it has been struck).

When you play a piano you hit the keys. When you hit the keys you trigger little hammers that hit strings in the piano which vibrate and the pitch depends on the diameter and length of the string.

A piano makes music by the hammers hitting the strings inside the piano. When you push down a key, you are pressing down a hammer, which then hits a string.

* That's why a piano is considered a percussion instrument

A keyboard Piano works like a grand piano, but some differences include:

1 You have to plug it into the wall.

2 On your keyboard, there will be a lot of words that show you where each sound is and where every song, sound, or numbers will be located.

3 Next to each button, there should be words that say what the button means.

4 Some keyboards are very heavy and some are not.

5 Some keyboards will show you the staff and what notes your playing.

6 Some keyboards may be louder than others.

7 There will be a little space at the end of your keyboard where you can put your stand.

8 The Keyboard is a very awesome and useful instrument and it is usually an amazing experience.

When you hit a key on an electronic piano, it plays a synthesized sound. (By synthesized I mean it's not an actual instrument doing the sound, it's a computer.)
