Piano World Home Page Forums Our Most Popular Forums Adult Beginners Forum What is the diference.......

between electronic keyboard and upright piano. I usualy practise 2-3 hours on Yamaha keyboard (61 keys), and it is going well, but soon I am going to get upright piano Archambault (88 keys). I like to know is it harder to press keyboard on upright piano, because on a Yamaha keyboard i dont feel any resistance. Thank you for answers.

Do you have weighted keyboard?

It kind of depend on which Yamaha keyboard you have. There is a huge range. But I assume you have what they call a "synth action" keyboard. These are very light keys with no weight. They are best used for playing non-piano sounds like say a flute, strings or organ. They do make electric keyboards with piano action keys but they are expensive.

A real piano key has weight and momentum. You will have to hit the key, not just lightly depress it.

No, I don't have wighted keyboard. So it is going to be hard time for me practicing on weighted keyboard.

Im sorry, but it's going to be like playing piano for the first time. You will get used quite fast, though:)
