Pianos & Keyboards

The piano is an acoustic string instrument that’s been quite popular since its invention in the 17th century. It can produce a variety of different styles of music and produces a sound that almost everyone finds pleasant. Keyboards are a modern alternative. They are played in a similar fashion, but no longer use strings to produce sounds, but rather prerecorded sound samples.

One of the major advantages of these instruments is, that they are easier to learn than other string instruments for example - it might take you months to be able to produce a pleasant sound on a violin, whereas a keyboard or piano will sound nicely from day one.

Keyboards have also evolved a lot in the past decades and can produce a range of sounds that by far surpasses the abilities of a piano. But not all keyboards are created equal, and neither are pianos.

Below you will find several guides on how to find the best piano or keyboard for your needs, as well as help in choosing between those two. There are also reviews for additional equipment that you might need, like amps, but also for online courses that can help you master your keyboard or piano faster and in a fun way.
