Key Electronic
Is there are difference between a piano and an electronic keyboard? I have a 49-key keyboard.?
I have a 49-key keyboard and I am learning how to play it.
There are many differences. The differences are found in the quality of sound. Electric keyboards use what is called sampling to produce there sound. It uses a recorded and/or electronically produced sound to give audio feedback when you press a key. The unfornuate part of this is you loose a good deal of the acoustic qualities such as the overtones and ressinance of the sound board on an acoustic piano. Another bad aspect of electric keyboards is that lower end keyboards do not have weighted keys. Weighted keys reproduce some of the mechanical action that naturally occurs in acoustic pianos.
Unfortunatley good acoustic pianos are hard to come by (unless you got $$$) and are a maintenance nightmare (tuning $60-$100 per visit). Tuning issues are the number 1 reason I would by an electric over an acoustic for a beginner player. Generally beginner musicians can become accustomed to poorly tuned acoustic pianos quickly. This is bad for ear training. Let alone the space for an acousitc piano. If I were serious about learning piano I would get a 88 key (weighted keys) electric keyboard with no speakers attached to the unit, and I would by a seperate amp.
This is why.
1. Keyboards are mobile.
2. Weighted keys are far superior and will help you learn to play on acoustic pianos better.
3. Keyboards with attach speakers (on the unit itself) generally have low quality sound and have poor response to touch. That and many of the units do not have hi-fi (professional audio) hook ups in the back.
4. Acousitc pianos are expensive $$$$. Until you have the money for a baby grand they aren’t worth getting.
5. 88 keys will give you a full range from the beginning and allows for growth as a pianist.
6. Electric keyboards rarely go out of tune if kept clean, dry and maintained. Maintenance is mostly as simple as dusting it off and keeping moisture away from it!!!
I am in no way trying to down grade your 49 key keyboard, I find it encouraging that you are asking for advice, it shows great initative. I am speaking from experience having been through the process of deciding between acoustic and electric. I hope all this helps. Keep pluggin away it will be rewarding.
