What To Look For
In A Piano Keyboard

In the event that you are considering using a piano keyboard be certain to get one that is touch sensitive, with weighted keys, that are full size piano keys.

Here are some pointers to keep in mind:

Touch Sensitive means that the volume of the notes is controlled by the touch the performer uses. A heavier touch creates a louder sound or greater volume.

Weighted Keys will give the real feel of a piano action. Though they move smoothly, there is some resistance to give you control through slight momentum.

Full Size Piano Keys are the same width and length as the keys of a grand piano; or very nearly.

88 Keys Preferred, 60 Keys A Must is just so that you have a good playing field. Some keyboards are too short and have too few keys to really play anything more than a very small arrangement.

These points will give you the close to real acoustic piano feel, and make the transfer to a real piano less troublesome.

This Virtual Keyboard is of fair quality; if you feel like playing around a bit. Be careful not to get too used to using the computer keyboard and the toy aspect of this little program. The different sounds available and the drum presets can capture your attention and side track you quite easily. You may want to use a virtual keyboard only to check what something sounds like if you're at the computer and away from a real piano or keyboard.

Learning the hand feel of various keyboard techniques on real piano keys enables you to do more. With real key response, things like full sound and multiple musical device combining, become a real reality. That is, beautiful sounds that you create, and recreate, over and over again; at will.
