A digital piano is also a piano

Posted under Tags

as far as i know a digital piano's major draw is the weighted keys

the Yamaha PSR-E473 has the layout the wiki talks about but is not a digital piano because it doesn't have that kind of keys, so i don't think the wiki distinction is particularly accurate here (especially when it comes to depictions of specific real instruments)

And the instrument you're mentioning has 61 keys...

Yes, it has 61 keys; however, there is zero chance someone who does not care that much is counting every single key on the instrument the anime girl is playing. (People mistag far more distinct instruments all the time.) They may care enough to look at the wikis and follow the heuristic, however.

Also, for a stronger counterexample, the P-121 is a 73 key instrument with a black key between the second and third white keys. This is also not 76, I think most (including its own advertising) would say it's a digital piano.

I'm also not sure if the average person could correctly categorize something like a YC61 with a YC88 by these wiki descriptions either.

Well then, "unless specified otherwise".

Oh, please. I used to be in band. If I can't tell them apart at a glance, what makes you think the average normie, who can't don't read wikis, will?

You were a band member but did you play the piano though?
