There are different kinds of keyboard instruments that differ in sound and music. There are harpsichords and chordophone keyboards.

It is commonly used in concerts either as a solo instrument or as part of the musical assembly.
There are also pipe organs, aerophone keyboards that make use of air to build sound properties. When a key is pressed, vibrating air goes through the set of pipes connected to the keyboard and produces a resounding pitch. This exciting instrument has a rich history and had been used in medieval churches. Recently though, it has lost some of its appeal due to its bulk and build.
For many modern musicians their choice of instrument lean towards piano and electric organ. How do these instruments create music? The piano keyboard is connected to strings which vibrate every time a key is pressed. You will find the keys sensitive to the lightest touch. The type and quality of the sound will rely on the pressure applied on the keys. When pressure is light, the hammer connected to the keyboard will hit the strings gently and will produce a soft sound. The modern electric organ, however, utilizes regular electric signals to create music. It must be connected to a loudspeaker or headphones to produce sound. The instrument is handily portable and can be carried anywhere without too much difficulty. It will fit any small venue beautifully just as long as there are electrical outlets.
