Keyboard Instruments

Keyboard instruments are musical devices that produce sound when keys are pressed. Common examples include the piano, organ, and synthesizer. The piano uses hammers to strike strings, creating rich tones, while organs use pipes or electronic sounds. Synthesizers generate a wide variety of sounds electronically. These instruments are versatile and used in many genres, from classical to pop music. Keyboard players can easily read music and play harmonies, making them central to many musical ensembles. The layout of keys is typically uniform, allowing for straightforward navigation of melodies and chords.
