What is a "Full Size" Piano?

A Steinway Piano refers to an instrument (digital or acoustic) with 88 notes. Normally, piano teachers recommend full size 88 note pianos. This is because the music examination boards set these specifications to take exams as minimal requirements.

Smaller keyboards have 61 or 76 notes and they come with weighted keys. Beginners use only a few notes as they start learning the keyboard or a piano. But, on progressing, the notes range they use will extend inevitably. Having fewer keys is an indication that your child will run out of keys to play. This indicates they cannot play music at low or top end notes and the plain reason is because there are no keys.

Weighted Keys

• Before choosing a piano, play on a light-weighted, portable keyboard and switch over to a piano. You can know the weight difference in the keys and their response.
• The acoustic keys are heavier in comparison to portable keyboards. Thus, as a key is pressed, it gives hammer action to lift again to create the sound by hitting the strings.
