Keyboards:

 

The keyboards, compared to acoustic piano are usually smaller and they have about 61 keys all in all (around 4 to 5 octaves). The acoustic piano contains 88 keys and has 6 octaves. The benefit that of having a keyboard is that you can carry it anywhere you want to bring it. It has a wide variety of sounds enhanced by sound modification as well as good computer interactions through USB or MIDI connections.

 

Looking closely on the keyboard, you can observe that the keys are smaller compared to that of acoustic piano. A disadvantage for a pianist playing the keyboard is that it takes a long time for them to get used to acoustic piano since the piano keys re slightly larger. The actual piano is heavier to play because it carries the weight of the hammer that strikes the string which creates sound. The keyboard does not have this and has a lighter feel compared to the real piano. The keyboard is suitable for young kids.

 

Digital Pianos:

 

The combination of both acoustic piano and keyboard is the digital piano. Like the keyboard, it has great sound modification that enables it to create a wide variety of sounds. While it has also a similarity to the acoustic piano since they have 88 keys and are slightly larger than that of keyboards.

Digital pianos contain a built in speaker which makes the sound quality better than the keyboards. It is difficult to carry around since they are a bit heavy. You can feel like playing on an acoustic piano while keying in to a digital piano because it has the same weighted keys.

 

Acoustic Pianos:

 

The concrete and real form of a piano play is the acoustic piano. In the past, it has already existed as early as 1700.

 

After digital pianos have been created, the word acoustic was currently added to piano. Piano is said to be acoustic because of the sound created as the hammer strike on the strings and thereby produces an acoustic sound. The sound board in the piano intensifies the vibrations and distributes the sound through the cabinet if you have an encased piano in a uniform manner or outside the top lid if you have a grand piano.
