Plastic piano keys were introduced in the late 1920's
The advantage of plastic keys is that they were white, didn't chip as much and were inexpensive compared to ivory
Advanced pianist still miss the ivory piano keys because they were not slippery like plastic and also the ivory keys absorbed sweat.

What musical instrument has hammers and dampers?
The musical instrument that features hammers and dampers is the piano. In a piano, hammers strike the strings to produce sound when keys are pressed, while dampers are used to stop the vibration of the strings, controlling the sustain of the notes. This mechanism allows for a wide range of expression in performance.
When did Beethoven stop performing all around?

If you are taking a piano class and told that you need to practice daily will a keyboard allow you to learn to play the piano if you are unable to go out and purchase a piano?
Yes and No.Keyboards are great... if they have all 88 keys. You should not have to compromise your music because of the size of your keyboard. Also, dynamics (softs and louds) are VERY Important in music. If you don't have a touch-sensitive keyboard, then you aren't really learning how to control your volume. So make sure also that the keyboard you have makes a loud noise when you hit a key hard and it is soft when you press a key softly. Most keyboards have volume controls anyway, but if you're begginning, I suggest touch-sensitive keys. Yes of Course!Of course you can learn to play the piano on a keyboard! Although the keys do have a different feel and touch, that shouldn't stop you from learning all the other parts of piano playing! Yes, you can learn on the keyboard! Scale passages are one of the things you can really work on with a keyboard. This is because you don't need much feedback from the piano to play these. It is the combination of finger movements, wrist movements, arm movements, and body positioning that are active in these, as in all of piano playing, but these movements don't need you to make use of the keybed. Be aware, though, that keys have different weights, and this is even true of different piano makes, so that your fingers won't be able to attain the same speed on every instrument.No, not really.To be honest a keyboard cannot really help you. The width of keys is different and a keyboard just doesn't have the 'feel' of a piano. If you cannot buy a piano I recommend getting a digital piano for a start as these tend to have the 'feel' of a piano however the is no true replacement for the real thing! One of the most important things in piano technique is relaxation. One of the ways you achieve this, which is hard to explain without showing, is to use the rebound of energy that you get from the keybed. A keyboard can't mimic this kind of "bounce", which is absolutely necessary for propelling the hand around the piano without tension. However, this technique is only necessary with chord/octave figures, and you can navigate scalar passages without tension if you don't use the keybed.It's better than nothing.To a degree, you can at least associate the arrangement of the keys in relation to each other. Use it until you can arrange to use a real piano. Of course the tone, and weight of the keys is distinctive to the piano, but when you have lemons, make lemonade. It is better than nothing, but be aware that it is difficult to execute large jumps without some degree of tension, and the buildup of tension can really hamper the progress of your technique.DependsYou should always take college seriously, it is the classes you take to get to your career goals! If you are majoring in Performance of Music, you cannot have piano major and not have a real piano to practice on!!! But if you are taking a course that it doesn't matter as much as how well you play, then yes.If you are at a college, a piano should be accessible. Yes, it's difficult to get to one, as the music majors are using them all the time, but make the effort. If you're not at college, try and make use of your local school or church. However, if the purpose of this class is to make you familiar with the piano as opposed to acquiring performance technique, you'll be okay.Definitely Yes.Keyboards are just like pianos; however, there is a different touch to the keys since piano keys are heaver. Most keyboards also have missing keys. A professional keyboard (also known as a portable grand piano) has all 88 keys, but there is still the lighter touch.if you want to learn to play the piano and you can't afford a real one you should get the keyboard, I learnt to play the piano on a real one but whenever I play it on a keyboard there isn't much difference with my play(note that I said 'not much' not 'none) I have a friend who has a keyboard and whenever she plays my piano she doesn't struggle either.Go to a friend's house, church, or school to see if they have a piano.Sure, why not?I have been playing/practicing piano on a keyboard for 7 years, I don't think it would've made a difference if I had a piano, I didn't have dynamics or a pedal, but as soon as I went to practice and used a real piano, I just used dynamics there, you don't really need to practice dynamics, it's just there, same with the pedal. I think practicing with a keyboard is fine. :)ishI've started too, but that's only to learn the notes and play the songs. if you are a little more advanced it's best to use a piano. bu if you have piano lessons on a piano that doesn't really matter.It DependsGood keyboards have all 88 keys but they don't let you express dynamics and they don't have pedals. However, if you can't afford a piano, then well at least you have a keyboard!
History and origin of thumb piano?
The Thumb Piano is an African instrument and is very similar to the Kalimba. Some other terms are Mibria or Likembe. They all look quite similar but naturally it has its variances in tome quality in the sound each instrument makes. These instruments have been around for thousands of years. The keys were originally made with bamboo but over the years it was developed into medal keys. In the early 1900's the instrument was given the name Kalimba. It was thought in ancient times that the Thumb Piano was to project its sound into the heavens and was even considered to draw sown spirits to the earth. Some of them were evil spirits so the people would stop playing the music until the spirits had departed from the area. The piano is made of rosewood; the sound board is made of spruce, and comes in different tunings. On the back it has two holes that vibrate and the fingers alter the sound by moving them to and from the holes. Most of the time the Piano is played solo and tuning is not critical as playing with another musician. If playing with another musician then you may want to take note of the tuning. The lower keys have a lower pitch while the shorter keys have a higher pitch. All the keys can be tuned by adjusting the metal piece inward or outward. The low keys are located toward the center of the instrument and the short keys are locates on the outside of the instrument. The Thumb Piano has a very incredible sound, and is a well made instrument. It is sometimes used as a backup for other instruments or vocals. It is usually played when traveling by Griots; Griots are people who are to keep the history of the tribe or village to entertain people with songs, stories, poems, dances, etc. Technically speaking, each note of the thumb piano is a separate idiophone, and in orchestra terms it is in the bar family. Modern variation of the instrument may have more than the traditional 15 tines, with as many as four chromatic octaves, which makes playing more complex music possible. They may have hollow resonating chambers for increased volume, and mechanisms for readily tuning the tines to different scales (tines are the medal keys that are needed to play the instrument). While the keys on the thumb piano are different from the piano or guitar, their arrangement is fairly intuitive, and is considered to be an instrument quickly learned.
