Question:

Difference between keyboard and piano?

Difff?Also, do classical songs or songs like imagine sound bad on a keyboard??

Answer:

A keyboard is electronic and its musical sound is synthetic. A piano actually creates its music by striking small padded hammers against strings within the instrument. In my opinion, piano sounds much better. A keyboard is pretty much just a fake piano, and although it tries really hard to replicate a piano's tone, it doesn't quite make it.
Depends on your terminology and the context in which you use keyboard: keyboard typically refers to the electronic version of a piano, or it can refer to the entire classification of piano-like instruments, including the harpsichord or organ. And YES, if you are talking about the electric piano version of the word keyboard, classical music definitely sounds AWFUL on a keyboard compared to a classical piano!
Keyboard is electric and you can choose different sounds on it, such as piano, violin, or vocal. A piano is the old fashioned real deal, with the strings and all, and it isn't portable like a keyboard. All songs should sound good on keyboard, as long as you have the skill and the magic touch. :)
A keyboard is basically an electric piano. You can get cheap ones, which wont have amazing sound quality, and are probably more for kids, and you also get the more expensive ones, which have pedals, and better sound quality. On a cheaper keyboard, classical songs wont sound bad, just not as good as a good quality keyboard, or a piano.
My keyboard has multiple sounds to it. It is literally both keyboard and piano in one. It has almost as many keys as a full piano. It also has two GRAND PIANO sounds. It has harps and organs sounds as well as the traditional keyboard sound. I really do not know about the other sounds because am not familiar with all of the attachments and buttons. I am old fashion and do not want to touch them until I learn what they are. I do not like the way traditional keyboards sound, for the music is too muzzled and synthetic like. My church has a very expensive keyboard, and I do not like the sound. It is an excellent recording instrument, but it sounds too unnatural for me.
