Which Is Better: Piano Or Keyboard?

Which is better: Keyboard or Piano?

Pianos are fabulous but you can’t turn the volume down, generally. You can play keyboards using head phones which the neighbours will appreciate. Ideally have both!

If you are buying a piano it is preferable to buy an overstrung piano not a straight strung piano. How to tell the difference: Lift the top lid of the piano and you should see the tuning pins at the top of the piano. If the tuning pins are evenly spaced along the pin block and the strings are all parallel and vertical this is a straight strung piano. If there is a group of tuning pins at the left and a separate group at the right and the strings cross over in an X shape this is an overstrung piano.

Get a piano tuner to check over a second hand piano before buying: sometimes pianos are quite worn in ways that only a trained eye will see.

What Keyboard should you choose?

If you want a keyboard that sounds and feels like a piano then get one with weighted keys, and listen carefully to the piano sound. Don’t be distracted by all the other sound buttons, at least not yet.

If you require portability then you will need a keyboard but still look for weighted keys. And be sure to get one with at least sixty-one (61) keys or you will be wishing you had sooner or later.

Also make sure that you get a sustain pedal because a keyboard sounds really dead without one. The sound stops as soon as you lift your finger off the key when really you want the option of the note lingering for a moment or two. The difference is quite noticeable.

Bob Bowen, Arkansas

“Why piano is not usually explained in the manner that Pianoforall teaches is completely beyond me!”

John Cheeseman, DeWitt, MI, USA 

“Robin:  I received the CD Rom and have been following the course for over a month now.  I just wanted to write and tell you that your course exceeded my expectations.  I have purchased home piano courses in the past, but could never seen to make any real progress.  The lessons were either too complicated right from the start that I got frustrated and quit or there was too much theory and not enough actual playing music.

Then, I decided to give your course a try.  Is it possible to have fun while practicing the piano.  The answer in this case is yes. The video’s are easy to follow and each lesson presents something new, but builds on the previous skills you have learned. You still have to practice, but the practice is fun.  The lessons allow you to play and hear recognizable rhythms, while at the same time you are learning chords and music theory: a great way to learn! I actually look forward to practice every day.”

David Petraccoro, Barnegat, New Jersey, USA

“Hi Robin, just a quick note, this is david from barnegat, new jersey i started your course about three months ago, i am on book 3 and still think the course is just great. books 1 and 2 were just the best, i really look forward to sitting down at the piano now, and just have fun the licks and songs you use are just what i am looking for. i am 59 years young and grew up with all those tunes. keep up the great work and i will stay in touch, thanks again, david.

Tommy, NYC, USA 

Hey Robin we have spoke a while back about your course..I started on book one and it is awesome.. I play acoustic guitar and sing but i am so excited to play piano now, and it so easy to create chord progressions with your method that the second day already im playing let it be progression…what is your suggestion should i just follow each page and dont move on till i master each page? Thanks..it was a blessing finding you, music is my life.

Regs, Adrian Pote, Ipswich, England 

Robin, I am halfway through the first book. Its a brilliant course which suits the way I wanted to learn perfectly. I will certainly recommend it. I am learning lots and having fun in the process.

“Of the courses I’ve seen online on how to play piano I’m sure this is one of the best ones.”
