Electric Keyboard

       Electronic Keyboard also called as digital keyboard, portable keyboard and home keyboard is an instrument similar to the piano but this one needs electricity in order to use. It is a combination of processes by pressing mechanical keys and producing sounds by means of electric circuitry. The invention of musical synthesizers in the 1960s was a step towards the modern keyboard. As technology became more developed, huge synthesizers evolved into portable instruments that could be used in live shows and the electronic keyboard was one of it.

        The electronic keyboard is less expensive than the acoustic piano. This type of instrument can manipulate sounds and recreate tones. It can make the sounds louder with the help of amplifiers. Some electronic keyboards  can be brought anywhere because those are not so huge than the acoustic piano's. There are different kinds of electric keyboard from huge to handy and as time goes by, there will be new inventions that can make keyboard's sound more  beautiful and can be brought anywhere at anytime.

Music is life

Another month has ended and a new month has come. December is here!  Isn't it nice to sing along with the kids while bringing different instruments that make up music? Caroling from house to house and feel the essence of Christmas?  It is an enjoyable feeling to sing Christmas songs in the midst of a cold night, knocking at your door to deliver their prepared song.

The best instrument that would fit to the soothing feeling of Christmas is the piano. It can produce a calm sound that makes a person feel comfortable while sitting in a couch with a hot tea on the table.

Bartolomeo Cristofori was the inventor of the first modern piano in which the picture is shown above. The piano was originally called "harpsichord", which was still existing for almost 300 years. The idea behind creating the piano was to construct a harpsichord that was sensitive to the intensity of sound.

Most of the musicians prefer classic acoustic pianos because of their rich tones. Since digital pianos can recreate and replay sounds, their are things that it can't do like classic acoustic pianos can. Some of those are tuning and replacement of springs, strings and hammers but no matter what kind of piano is it, you will surely benefit from the piano. Remember that music is the universal language and piano will enable you to speak that language.
