The primary difference between a keyboard and a piano is the sound they produce. A piano produces sound by striking strings with hammers
While a keyboard produces sound by electronic means
A piano has weighted keys that are responsive to touch, providing a tactile feel that mimics that of a real acoustic piano
Keyboards, on the other hand, often have lightweight keys that lack the same level of responsiveness
Pianos are large, heavy instruments that require a dedicated space for storage and use
Keyboards, on the other hand, are compact and portable, making them ideal for musicians who need to move their instruments frequentlyse
Pianos are generally more expensive than keyboards due to their size, weight, and complexity
Keyboards are more affordable and accessible to a wider range of musicians
Pianos require regular tuning and maintenance to keep them in optimal playing condition
Keyboards, on the other hand, require minimal maintenance and can often be repaired easily
Keyboards are more versatile than pianos in terms of the range of sounds and effects they can produce
Keyboards often include a range of presets and sound effects that can be easily customized to the musician's preference
Pianos, on the other hand, are not as portable and require a dedicated space for storage and use
Keyboards are more portable than pianos and can be easily transported to gigs or rehearsals
Pianos require more skill and training to play than keyboards, due to the weighted keys and the need for proper technique
Keyboards are generally easier to play and can be learned quickly
Pianos require external equipment for recording
Keyboards often have built-in recording capabilities, allowing musicians to easily record and produce their music
Pianos are often seen as a symbol of elegance and sophistication and can be a statement piece in a room
Keyboards are generally more functional than decorative and do not have the same aesthetic appeal as a grand piano
