Funny thing is people complain about weighted/semi weighted or even unweighted keys and here we are able to perfectly mimic a piano's sound with the touch sensitivity 😂
I have an acoustic piano and an electric piano. If the keys are weighted, and it's assembly includes the three pedals then I've always known them to be electric pianos. The electric piano only gets played when I need to practice with headphones. If the instrument has many voice options and only has an adapter for the sustain pedal then it's merely a keyboard. Real performing pianists perform on pianos. But, honestly I think only legitimate pianists would agree.
For real. The only musicians who look down are those who feel above everybody. Nobody is above anyone no matter their skill. The shared love of playing is what makes us the same. The selfish act of hating everyone you deem unworthy of being on your level will only gain you the respect of those who do the same, as no one who has that shared love respects people like this.
yeaa like my dream is to be an organist and a pianist i'm starting from midi because does it look like we have 7000€ ready to spend for a wall piano LMAO@@Kayden-n1v
They are different instruments but being a keyboard player doesn't make you less than a pianist. Just look at the incredible keyboard players in Nightwish and Dream theatre.
Agreed. Many people can't afford an actual piano and the maintenance that goes along with it. And a lot of keyboards these days are very well made and feel very similar to an actual piano.
@@peachyedits22 agreed, and you can add pedals to many if not most of the keyboards I've seen. I grew up taking piano lessons on a real piano and practicing at home on a keyboard, and really the only difference between the two (for me) was how strong the reverbe was with the pedal.. that took some getting used to once I finally found I real piano for free that I could have at home. But yeah, a keyboard isnt that far off from a piano, and it doesnt go out of tune as soon as it gets a little chilly
It absolutely does make you not a pianist. People who play acoustic or electric pianos are pianists. People who play keyboards are no more pianists than people who play the church organ are pianists. They are different instruments, played differently mechanically and musically to achieve different effects. It's just idiotic snobbery from some pianists or insecurity from some keyboard players that framed acknowledge the differences as somehow implying one is better or more respectable than the other. They are equally valid. That doesn't make them the same thing.
@@peachyedits22 there are keyboards that are phenomenal instruments yes. The things you think are keyboards that seem like pianos are... Pianos. Electric pianos and keyboards are different instruments, constructed differently and played differently. One of them is a piano. The other isn't.
Right! I was like ok, but isn’t that a little classist? A good keyboard is a lot cheaper than a grand piano, and many have petals and high sensitivity to mimic the quality of a piano, most people start of playing on a keyboard and learn on a keyboard, and are able to use those skills and transfer them to an actual piano when needed, they don’t all just “turn down the volume” lmfao. Yes, the experience is different, but we still call someone who plays electric violin a violinist despite the fact that it is easier. There are ways to be a keyboardist, depending on the style and technique you use to play, but if you learned pianist technique and you can do everything on an actual piano, my guy, you are just a pianist. Same with the midi controller player. Is andrew haung any less a trained pianist when he is using a midi controller vs a real piano? No! The instrument does not make the music, the musician makes the music, and I think some people need to remember that.
@@rainbowkittycat627 no no, all i disagree with is that they play a piano. they can be a pianist, but they don't play a piano. i just disagree with calling a keyboard a piano.
yeah i mean who plays pianissimo by turning down the volume???? you can still play softly. and all the pedals are way more useful than any random buttons
@@Techneam keyboards can be programmed to play multiple notes with a single key press so setting a key to play any two notes at the same time is relatively trivial.
When actually playing, nothing feels better then a real piano vibration wise, but assuming you have all the bells and whistles, midi will almost always be a million times times better in the context of a final recorded piece imo. There are variables, but technology is only getting better and harder to differentiate when used by a skilled player
@@Flammu A keyboard is basically just an electronic piano, but a midi board is a keyboard, with a bunch of buttons, and sliders to alter the sound, which defeats the purpose of playing a keyboard/piano
@@TheRedElephant805 I understand completely now so fro the lack of keys the midi has buttons to alter the sound that enables it to function like a keyboard but also makes it a different instrument
wtf? It’s not gatekeeping. You can be a pianist and only be able to afford a keyboard, it just means you play the piano elsewhere like at school or some community centre. Piano is very different to keyboard, and if you can afford a very high end keyboard that has touch sensitivity etc then this argument makes no sense.
Even if you add those things its still way less expensive for a keyboard and it is gatekeeping because he is referring to people who own a piano and think that keyboard players arent similar to them
And he is right you cant play most dynamics and dont have a pedal on a keyboard. The difference is very big. Unless you have a very good keyboard that has those features But thats usually called a stage piano or something i believe and not longer called a keyboard.
@@kamrondames1226yes still cant play most dynamics and repeated notes technique is also hard if not impossible i tought. Also you dont need a pedal on a keyboard because the keyboard already sounds sustained (if thats the right word not native english speaker). I remember playing on a keyboard with a pedal and i didnt push the pedal once. My muscle memory also failed me somehow because it is just so different, there is no push back from the keys. I couldnt play any advanced stuf on it. Tbh i only refer to people being a pianist if they have a degree in it or at least on the same lvl as someone that has a degree otherwise someone can touch the piano once and call himself a pianist. I think the meaning of the word is up to interpretation but i still like to point out how different a keyboard to a piano really is.
As a kid I played the organ, then synths in the eighties. When I started learning piano I was like, "What is this strange device that can't hold or bend a note and pushes back on my fingers?" After learning some boogie woogie riffs and playing for a weekend showing of Grease: "I can't move my left hand anymore! WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY LEFT HAND?!?" BTW, I now gig with both a weighted piano keybed and a synth. I play so hard that I still bleed after most every show, and I love it.
I have a keyboard, but I still call it a piano. Even though it doesn’t have strings and stuff like that, I’m still able to use pedal, and I can play as loud or as soft as I want without turning it up or down.
No instruments are status symbols and signs of prestige. And like any status symbol, only the most expensive instrument is a good instrument. Sound doesn't matter. Outside of the price it's all about subjective things like the _soul_ and the _feel_ and whatever other nonsensical points we can make up to put down poor people and their cheap instrum- nay, Childish Toys!
@@Justakatto Not really. Electric pianos are thing. They are way cheaper than real or grand pianos. Keyboards are bad for your overall technique while learning piano. And someone who only plays the keyboard can't call themselves a pianist. If that the case then maybe organ players can do so as well. People who spout bs like you probably no knowledge of music and haven't touched a piano in their life. Pianists spends decades to get where they are, finger technique, musicality, rhythm feel, music knowledge,... It's not wrong to practice with the keyboard if you're poor, it's just bad if you do it for a long time without regular contact with a real piano. Best option is the electric piano which is also affordable. And before you actually think what you're saying is real. The "feel" is not nonsensical, you're literally describing musicality but in a way to make it sound nonsensical while it has been a thing since piano and instruments existed. Go watch professional piano playing and you can understand what "the feel" that you call nonsensical truly is.
a piano is a type of keyboard. the keyboard is a keyboard. piano is acoustic, while keyboards are electric. this is an issue of differing instruments. however, both can still be called pianist. just like how a person who plays a soprano flute can call themself a flutist or soprano flutist (to avoid confusion), it works the same way with keyboard players and pianists. think of marimbas, bells, vibraphones… they’re all forms of keyboards as well, but you wouldn’t call them keyboard players.
if you buy a good 88 key weighted keyboard, a good VST, and pedals, you are essentially just playing a piano. Even without the expensive accessories, timing and emotion are the hardest thing to get right when playing a piece on the piano, it's exactly the same skillset with a keyboard. an expert "keyboardist" would be an expert pianist and vice versa.
You are a pianist. It’s the same structure and theory as an acoustic piano. Most people just don’t have the room in their house (or 20,000 dollars to purchase it) for a 2 ton instrument.
A pianist is not only someone who knows how to play piano, but someone who plays it on an everyday basis and/or exclusively plays it. If you practice with a keyboard, you’re a keyboardist because that’s the instrument you own. If you practice with a piano, you’re a pianist. the weight of the keys would be too different, so a keyboardist would not do so great without practice or proper piano lessons. the keyboardist would need a lot of time to get used to the dynamics changing by pressing keys softer or harder as well because it's not as easy when you're not used to it. I am a pianist and I for the love of god cannot play the keyboard. The keys are too light and it causes me to make too many mistakes, and the songs I play are not accustomed for the keyboard. It’s not to say you can’t be both, though, but people are mixing the two up I feel.
@@Ocelot_Growl You wouldn't need whole lessons to get used to the weight of the keys lol. And not really, it's something pretty simple to get used to, all you gotta do is just control how hard you press the keys for both of those, that's the only difference.
Yeah, a keyboard player and piano player are both pianists, and let’s be real, can both play the piano. Just ones got a little bit of money and the other doesn’t have as much
I actually play a keyboard. It has volume but it also has petals. I try to play a lot like a piano would play. I'm excited to learn more notes. (One more thing. Volume can change depending on how hard I hit the notes) I would also love to learn piano someday.
As someone who’s played keyboard for three years then switched to piano and played for one year, I could not agree more that they are both very different from one another
As being a Keyboardist i would say i would better love to call myself a keyboardist then pianist cuz I want people to know the differences between the musical instruments more and have more knowledge about them🖤
Not every one can have a pig piano in his/her house, but some keyboards perfectly mimic a piano, with pedals, and it feels exactly like a piano. So I think we could say it is the same thing
As for room you can get one that covers less octaves. I know you can't play many pieces as intended but at least you would have something to work on your skills.
After having an horrible keyboard for Christmas, I started to learn piano but I was blessed by being able to access real pianos every day in my school! Listen, there's always a piano somewhere...
I have a DGX660. It is close enough to a piano where you can learn moderate-advanced piano songs on it and have them sound great, while also having the ability to change sound fonts, record, transpose, midi out, etc
Don't bother, keyboards are much more versatile, affordable, and gig friendly, don't let some lame dude's opinions make you spend thousands for a slightly more authentic instrument
As a keyboardist, I can play pianissimo with full volume and I attach a pedal. I hate the reverb. When someone says to me that I'm a pianist, I correct them bc the keys play different and it's difficult for me to play with heavy keys. The reason I'm a keyboardist is bc I'm an argentinian and a piano is A LOT of money. My parents bought me a keyboard bc it's so much cheaper
There are keyboards that are weighted (meaning the notes are as heavy as normal piano keys) and keyboards that are touch sensitive (meaning the harder/softer you press the keys the volume changes) and put these together on an 88 key keyboard, add some pedals, and that keyboard can do everything a piano can (except projection)

the weight of the keys would be too different, so a keyboardist would not do so great without practice or proper piano lessons. the keyboardist would need a lot of time to get used to the dynamics changing by pressing keys softer or harder as well because it's not as easy when you're not used to it.
I am a pianist and I for the love of god cannot play the keyboard. The keys are too light and it causes me to make too many mistakes, and the songs I play are not accustomed for the keyboard.
It’s not to say you can’t be both, though, but people are mixing the two up I feel.
@@Ocelot_Growl You wouldn't need whole lessons to get used to the weight of the keys lol. And not really, it's something pretty simple to get used to, all you gotta do is just control how hard you press the keys for both of those, that's the only difference.
Me, who owns a midi keyboard with dynamics: 🗿🍷
also, you can connect pedals to some midi keyboards, sooo yeah.
Can you buy a brandname Keybord without?
@@TremereTT without what?
are we all pretending midi keyboards with weighted keys don't exist 😭
@@matiasmartinez7208 yea
Yeah, a keyboard player and piano player are both pianists, and let’s be real, can both play the piano. Just ones got a little bit of money and the other doesn’t have as much
MIDI can do everything a piano can do 😮 and moreee

I actually play a keyboard. It has volume but it also has petals. I try to play a lot like a piano would play. I'm excited to learn more notes. (One more thing. Volume can change depending on how hard I hit the notes) I would also love to learn piano someday.
As someone who’s played keyboard for three years then switched to piano and played for one year, I could not agree more that they are both very different from one another
Me laughing in playing both on piano lessons:
"Some guy shows up with a phone"
Stylophone player: “I can do whatever you can do”
I've been learning both piano and keyboard so that's cool :D
As being a Keyboardist i would say i would better love to call myself a keyboardist then pianist cuz I want people to know the differences between the musical instruments more and have more knowledge about them🖤
i call myself a keyboardist since all my passion is in synthesizers and not pianos
People who play the toy piano: *Evil menacing laugh*
as a piano player, i always feel weirded out when someone calls me a "pen*st" like bro its a pianist ;-;
Not every one can have a pig piano in his/her house, but some keyboards perfectly mimic a piano, with pedals, and it feels exactly like a piano. So I think we could say it is the same thing
That’s a digital piano…
Me with my Cat Piano: "You are beneath me, you cannot do what I can do, mine makes Cat noises instead"
Me what I hear:
“No no, I’m a peni-“
“You can’t call yourself a peni-“
I just call anything like it a piano, I just have a keyboard sadly but I want to get an actual piano
We dont have the room at the moment
Pianos are expensive
As for room you can get one that covers less octaves. I know you can't play many pieces as intended but at least you would have something to work on your skills.
I wish room was my problem
You guys can always buy digital pianos instead. They’re more cheap so it’s fine
And NO! It’s NOT a keyboard! It’s a digital piano!
@@MarsD.06 wtf Is a digital piano
some keyboards (and also electric pianos) do have velocity sensitivity - meaning the keys are sensitive to force. most also have a sustain pedal.
“pee-a-nist”
Dirty mind: activated
“Play moonlight sonata third movement”
As someone who has never touched a piano in their life, I confirm that I have no idea what's going on here.
After having an horrible keyboard for Christmas, I started to learn piano but I was blessed by being able to access real pianos every day in my school! Listen, there's always a piano somewhere...
Live footage of pianist realizing that technological developments have occured since the year 1639

My mind : dirty mind mode on
Me: ‘wait…. a pen-‘
Guy with accordeon: So you guys are pianists too?
Smart paino kids : I play Pianist
World :Tomato ToMato (Keyboardist)
Midi: That one kid. 😂😅
Midi hits different 😍😍 i mean I'll just say every instrument is a work of art 😀😍😍
one word for the midi players: octaves.
Me who uses the mouth: *plays the most hardest piano song ever*
"hey you cant call yourself a pianist"
*When i realised the way he was pronouncing it*
I have a DGX660. It is close enough to a piano where you can learn moderate-advanced piano songs on it and have them sound great, while also having the ability to change sound fonts, record, transpose, midi out, etc
as a pianist(keyboardist) i feel very targeted.
Same buddy
I've made the mistake of calling my keyboard a piano a couple times 😅, BUT, I'll get a piano soon! So I'll be an actual pianist
Don't bother, keyboards are much more versatile, affordable, and gig friendly, don't let some lame dude's opinions make you spend thousands for a slightly more authentic instrument
i play piano at school but keyboard at home so what am I, both?
@@GoldenYXZ nah you're still a pianist
@@adamswing6115great words
never let them know your next move:
digital piano
Melodica player: Yoooo what's good boys?
I'm a keyboardist being taught by a keyboardist and a pianist so when I play the keyboard, I play it most likely the way the piano is played.
Midi is actually the best of them all because it can record what you play and you can add other sound and it can play it all at the same time💀💀
Most keyboards are also midi but midi keyboards with only 25 small keys are not good and you cannot consider yourself a musician
As a keyboardist, Yall are better😭 i cant say anything thing else
Lol
As a keyboardist, I can play pianissimo with full volume and I attach a pedal. I hate the reverb. When someone says to me that I'm a pianist, I correct them bc the keys play different and it's difficult for me to play with heavy keys. The reason I'm a keyboardist is bc I'm an argentinian and a piano is A LOT of money. My parents bought me a keyboard bc it's so much cheaper
There are keyboards that are weighted (meaning the notes are as heavy as normal piano keys) and keyboards that are touch sensitive (meaning the harder/softer you press the keys the volume changes) and put these together on an 88 key keyboard, add some pedals, and that keyboard can do everything a piano can (except projection)
Keyboards and digital pianos are different
Midi keyboardist: Takes out a laptop, plug the keyboard to the laptop, do even more things than keyboardist
I mean a keyboard is just a midi keyboard with a shitty integrated computer so yeah
Perfect.
Midi is the perfect balance between the two
“Yeah! I’m a Peni-“
What is a peni
Virtual pianists: My power will be shown one day..
"Can you play pienist mode"
"You can't call yourself a pienist"
"Is it cool if all of us pienist hang out together?"
💀💀🗿🗿🗿
*Pianist
Later me with nokia Hey I'm a pianist too😂😂❤❤❤
Heh...
Making history, this dude
