I mean, I love the feel and tone of a piano for most classical music or piano based schtuff. But, when I want an organ, a piano isn't going to cut it and decent organs are really hella expensive. I just recently bought a swell pedal and a foot keyboard controller to use with my synths. Two words: Utter shweetness.

LOL!

I put piano 'cause I like them more. BUT keyboards always have those funky little sounds or instruments and whatnot . . . but a piano is better to play. Keyboards' keys are always too . . . um . . . light-feeling and weird. Not right, at all.

Pianos...

I just recently got the chance to play a Steinway...it sounds and feels like  heaven...you can tell the difference.

Piano. It provides a classic sound. 'Nessa plays it, and songs like Roll Me Away by Bob Seger and Love and Lonliness by Chris Tompson wouldn't be the same with the keyboard.

And during the school year, I play one every day in Jazz band.

To tell you the truth, Steinway makes some awesome grands. Their uprights suck though......

My keyboard has weighted keys...so they're not heavy.  But admittedly it's not the same.

I guess both is okay, but I chose piano because it has a better sound. Well, unless you have my piano, it sucks.

Title: Pianos or Keyboards
Post by: maag on November 14, 2005, 11:34:21 am

I chose piano. It's better to play becuase lots of keyboards haven't got weighted keys. I know, it's easier to play, but if you accustom to play in keyboards you'll have more difficulties to play in a real piano.

Post by: PianoGirl4444 on November 14, 2005, 02:56:55 pm

I think it's easier to play a piano than a keyboard, personally...but maybe that's 'cause I grew up using a piano.   :D

If I'm going to play a keyboarded instrument that's supposed to sound like a piano, then I'd much rather play an actual piano.  Even if it's an upright, it still beats an electronic box of junk.  Now if I'm playing something that's supposed to sound like a synthesizer or something, then I'll play on a keyboard, no problem. 8)

Yeah, I'm wondering that too, since students are notorious for being broke. :?

I'd guess that it's really a keyboard. I've seen and played them before. They feel really crappy, but they work.

I dunno. The s90es beats most uprights, in my opinion. Plus, you don't have to mike it. Just plug it in.

I've never played one, but if you'll get me one for my birthday, I'll see about doing an endorsement. 8)

Well, they supposedly are, but more & more I don't like how mine feels.  It is so much easier for me to play on a real piano.

Piano. It's such a beautiful, lush, rich-sounding instrument. About the only thing that keyboards are useful for is synthesizing and MIDI recording/overdubbing.

Post by: me and my piano---tim on October 16, 2006, 11:27:21 pm

Piano. Definitely. But does anybody know a good keyboard... one that feels and plays like a piano? I thought the Korg Triton was one of the best... but I guess it has its shortcomings. Are there any keyboards out there that are virtually flawless? I bet they cost a fortune if they're out there though...
