Sublime Studio - KEYBOARD LESSONS: An Essential Guide for Beginners to Learn the Realms of Keyboard Lessons from A-Z

Do you want to learn to play the keyboard and piano, but you don't know how they differ? The difference in learning the keyboard (electronic organ with built-in rhythm) and the piano are very important. They call the electronic instrument Keyboard with a built-in rhythm, also called the electronic organ.

It is true that we cannot compare an acoustic piano with an electronic keyboard or a digital piano. Anyone looking for a 100% piano knows that they have to go to an acoustic piano. A grand piano or vertical, despite its price or maintenance, is a unique instrument, it has no competition because it is the instrument from which the digital pianos or electronic keyboards were later derived, which reproduce the sounds that the acoustic piano produces itself.

Now we can compare electronic keyboards with digital pianos since, apparently, they offer similar functionality. A digital piano, as its name suggests, is oriented to the study and interpretation of the piano. So normally, we will find 88 weighted keys such as those offered by an acoustic piano. However, the electronic functionality offered by a digital piano is limited, since the strength of a digital piano is the similarity of an acoustic piano (in appearance) so that models usually reverse their development in the keys, the appearance of the piano and the piano sound. So we will not wait to find many functions in a digital piano, at least in the most economical models. In fact, there are models of digital pianos that have the sound quality to an electronic keyboard and are more expensive than these. As we said before,

So a digital piano will guide us to the piano style, a style that does not have to be oriented only to play classical themes, but that will lead to playing as played on an acoustic piano. Its counterbalanced keys simulate a touch very similar to that of an acoustic piano. So we will not find much functionality to interpret themes as if we were an orchestra or make modifications to some features to customize our themes. Apart from the fact that some counterbalanced keys force us to use a piano technique, that is, they force us to play as if we were playing piano, the redundancy is worth it. So these keys are not the best to play any other type of instrument on the keyboard such as the guitar, saxophone, or ogano, among others. The poised keys will hinder the agility in our hands to play this type of instrument.

Unlike the digital piano that leads us to an acoustic piano, the electronic keyboard does not guide us towards any instrument or style. Rather, it lets us choose the instrument or style we want to play. It is a visually less attractive instrument than the digital piano, since being a portable instrument, the quality of its materials are lighter to facilitate it. The most critical difference may be the keys, and it does not mean that it has fewer keys than a digital piano, as some models have 76 or 88 keys. The keys of an electronic keyboard are not usually counterbalanced, and they are usually made of a lighter material than digital pianos. And this apart from saving on manufacturing costs, is a great advantage for electronic keyboards, because of this type of keys without counterweight, lighter and sometimes somewhat narrower, allow us to use a different technique than the one that would be used on the piano. As it does not exert the same pressure and depth that a piano keyboard requires, the keys of an electronic keyboard allow it to adapt to the interpretation of any instrument.
