It depends on what you mean:
1) How do you play the chord Eb6 on the piano.
Answer: Eb6 is a standard Eb major chord (Eb - G - Bb) with an added 6th. The sixth degree of the scale of Eb is C, so, on a piano, you'd play Eb6 by playing the notes Eb, G, Bb and C simultaneously.
Or...
2) Which note is the note Eb6 on a piano.
All notes are numbered with a name and a number, to help distinguish between them. Middle C is C4, so to find Eb6, go up two octaves from middle C (to C6) then find the Eb above that (a minor third above). This is Eb6.
I hope at least one of these is the answer to your question.
How can I sell my Yamaha grand piano?
I would go to craigslist.com. You could also post fliers at your local supermarkets..
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.

You 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. :)
ish
I'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 Depends
Good 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!
Well its easy really.
To make one you need:
A round container
One small and strong bag
Elastic band
Rice
Pencil (with rubber at other end)
What to do:
1.Put the rice in the container.
2.Pull the bag over the container.
3.Hold it in place with a elastic band.
4.Tap with pencil (rubber side).
5.Enjoy your drum.
TIP:To change the pitch move the elastic band up or down.
Why did electric pianos replace acoustic pianos?
Actually electric pianos did not replace acoustic pianos. There are literally millions of acoustic pianos in the united states alone, and more being bought every week. I personally see about 1000 pianos a year because I work as a piano tuner/technician. Electric pianos do come in handy for traveling to gigs, but acoustic pianos are very much alive and well.

Your asking, how was, as opposed to, how did, in that sense here are soe sites on Conga Drums and Conga like Drums.
Although ultimately derived from African drums made from hollowed logs, the Cuban conga is staved, like a barrel. These drums were probably made from salvaged barrels originally.

The conga drum originates from Africa. The name conga is probably derived from the name of it's homeland, the Congolaise of Africa. Nonetheless, the Conga is also called the Tumbadora

What can a pitched percussion instrument do that a non-pitched instrument can't do?
Non-pitched percussion instruments are used for a few reasons, providing a beat and a cool backbone to the song. Pitched percussion instruments are usually used for harmony or the melody of a song, they don't have that backbeat that a snare or a bass has, and a snare and a bass don't have the melody to the song, such as a Marimba would.
Hamilton piano is a pretty ok piano. It definatly isn't the best though. Think Steinway.

bird's eye. Circular protrusion around the center pin hole in action parts; for example, in the grand shank flange. The bird's eye prevents the "fork" part with bushings (the shank) from sliding left-right, along the center pin. Being doughnut shaped, it introduces minimal rotational friction between the parts
What is the black plastic key for in my BMW 323i for?
It's an emergency "wallet" key. Basically, BMW made it really small and lightweight, so if you lose your original keys (or lock them inside your car) you can still open it if you've stashed the "wallet" key in your purse or wallet. f.y.i. only use it in a EMERGENCY. i used it when i run marathons and it cracked in the igintion and i cound not start the car. BE CAREFULL
What is the most common untuned percussion instrument?
The short answer is a snare drum. But snare drums really do need to be tuned - they just aren't tuned to a specific note like a xylophone or timpani (unless you are a hard-core tuner, then you could). Snare drums are on every drumset, in every marching band, and found in most concert band repertoire.
