Musical Keyboards review site with ratings and resources

A musical keyboard is the set of levers or keys on a musical instrument typically a piano.

Keyboards typically contain keys for playing the twelve notes of the Western musical scale.

On electronic keyboards, depressing a key connects a circuit. Pianos are the most frequently encountered layouts and therefore the term musical keyboard has become synonymous withe the generic description of piano keyboard.

A split keyboard is a single keyboard which is divided into two parts.

In the most common keyboard layout there are black note keys which have uniform width and non uniform spacing and also white note keys that have both uniform width and uniform spacing. The white keys are positioned at the front of the keyboard.

Electronic keyboards operate because of an electric switch beneath each individual key. Pressing the key connects a circuit and causes the tone production mechanism to be triggered.

Most keyboard instruments look roughly similar and yet they may require quite different techniques of playing. For example some instuments. A piano will produce a louder note depending on the force with which the key is pressed.

For a pipe organ the technique is different to that employed for a piano keyboard because of the different ways these both produce sounds.

Playing a keyboard instrument can prove to be a challenging task; even though the layout is quite simple and all notes are easily accessible.Playing instruments with dynamic keyboards will sometimes require some dexterity and interdependence of hands and fingers. Most music is written for two hands.

Usually the right hand will play the melody and the left hand the accompaniment.
