I’m here to help you figure out what you need. Or maybe you’re looking at the one you already have, and worrying that it isn’t good enough. Maybe you’re shopping for a digital piano or keyboard.
Let’s take a closer look at that question.
And that’s what people are asking me about when they ask me a million variations of: “Do I need 88 keys to learn piano?” What’s the alternative? Keyboards and digital pianos. They sound great, but obviously they’re not for everyone. And you can’t exactly lug one to your local open mic night, either. They require manual tuning by a professional tuner, there’s no volume control.
That’s because besides those 88 keys there are a whole lot of internal components and outer housing. There’s nothing inherently wrong with acoustic pianos, but not everyone has one. There are eighty-eight keys on a piano and within that, an entire universe. If you have an acoustic piano, you are guaranteed to have 88 keys.
