Best Answer

Electric pianos (aka digital pianos) are instruments that reproduce the sound made by acoustic pianos. Pianos produce their unique sound by the action of a felted hammers hitting strings of various lengths. Digital pianos replicate this sound with oscillators and speakers.

Electric pianos and acoustic pianos are alike in that they have the same keyboard of 88 black and white keys, they produce a similar sound (though not identical), and they can be played in the same manner, especially if the digital piano has weighted keys and a damper pedal.

What is the difference between digital and acoustic pianos?

An electric piano requires you to plug it in so you can use it. You can play the piano even if there is no electricity. Some keyboards also comes with recording devices and other tunes and sound effects. You can also plug in headphones when practicing. A piano doesn't have that and you can't control its volume unless you press it very lightly. Some keyboards or electric piano are not weighted or touch sensitive which is essential in piano playing and learning. Also an electric piano is portable and movable unlike the piano. And the biggest difference is the sound. When you turn up the volume of an electronic piano, you'll hear a noise. Like a hissing and cracking sound. A piano no matter how loud and heavy you play it won't make a hissing electronic noise.

What the piano can do what violin cannot do?

The piano can make lower notes than a violin because a violin is a very high pitched musical instrument. I would say another thing you can do on a piano that you can't do on the violin is the fact that you can play seconds, thirds, fourths and fifths on the piano.
