so similar, yet so different: pianos and keyboards
When most of us think about a piano, we think of a concert pianist playing a grand piano, but there are two or three types of piano, here we will discuss them, from the grand piano, to the upright piano to the digital keyboard.
Lets first look at the piano we’ve already mentioned-the grand piano. The giant size is what allows the grand piano to achieve its sound, as the longer strings reduce the lower frequencies and harmonics. The smaller grand pianos, such as the baby grand and the boudoir have thickers strings on them to allow for string tension, keeping clarity in the sound. Tension in the strings would be lowered if they used a concert grand’s strings, giving it an unplayable and muddy sound. Size can go from 2-3ms for the concert grand piano, to the 1-2ms of a boudoir, to the slightly smaller (but still large) grand piano.
The piano that most people will most likely have when they mentioning having a piano is the ‘upright’ piano. Smaller in size than the grand piano due to its frame and strings being upright in the piano, the ‘upright’ (hence the name) piano can be 45 inches or taller.
Often (and rather naively) mistaken for another keyboard, the electronic piano has the food pedals to control frequency and pitch that they piano has that the keyboard doesnt. But they honestly dont sound as good as an acoustic piano, even with the ‘wonders of modern technology’.
Much smaller, cheaper, easier to carry around than a piano, the keyboard is the closest most of us will come to owning anything like a piano. Digital technology has allowed the keyboard to carry hundreds of different sound in it, from a church organ, to piano to steel drum, which gives it some versitility and humour factor that the piano lacks.
