Yamaha Music Keyboard - What is Good For Intermediate Players?

By Suresh Bist 

If you are an intermediate level player, here is what you need to keep in mind before you buy a keyboard.

After playing the keyboards for a couple of years, you should ideally look at a keyboard that will help you grow as a musician. If you can afford the budget, a beginner arranger workstation like the Yamaha 550 will be a very option. You can record with the built-in accompaniment or you can record one track at a time. The reason being you will need more than 61 keys in that case, since 61 keys are not going to enough for many classical pieces.

Electric and Digital Musical Instruments Using Piano Keyboards

By Mike Shaw 

A keyboard is the part with which some musical instruments are played. The keyboards are the key to these instruments. Musical instruments like piano and synthesizer are two of the musical instruments that are played with a keyboard. The keyboards earlier used mechanical devices to produce sound but the modern keyboards are electronic. Starting from the traditional pianos to the modern day synthesizer all are dependent on the keyboard.

The keyboards usually have keys some large and some small by pressing which the sound is produced. Some of the earliest keyboard instruments that were in use were pipe organ, clavichord, hurdy gurdy and harpsichord. Among these the organ is the oldest keyboard instrument. After this the piano came to be used and now the synthesizer is the sensation all over.

The keyboards are available in various sizes and shapes and even in different colors. The keyboards are also portable these days. You can either buy these keyboards from the shop which sells musical instruments or can even get them online. If you notice and keep a regular check over the internet you will very often find that some great keyboards are on sale.

You will also find out that there are many auctions that take place where the used keyboards are put up for sale. These keyboards are in a good condition and if you buy them from the auction you will even save some of your money. Keyboards today are electronic and the traditional forms of keyboards are almost obsolete today.

The harpsichord and the clavichord were the two keyboard instruments that were used in the early 14th century. After that in the 18th century the piano came into being and was widespread and the earlier two instruments lost their popularity. Again in the 20th century, electronic keyboard instruments were developed. There was a search for an instrument that would sound like a piano. So, the synthesizers were developed and this ended the search for an electronic piano.
