It is, but it still has strings. Guess it fits a couple categories. There are many percussion instruments that are similar to keyboard instruments.

My first instrument was the drums. Only instrument I ever had proper lessons on.

I used to play alto and tenor sax, then played bass clarinet in college. Couldn't sing with any of them.

However, a digital piano, doesn't. So I hope that could count in this thread. Anyway, I have a digital piano that I do play. I taught myself to play cocktail style piano through a self-teaching course. The purpose for me was to take that back to the guitar. Though it obviously didn't really translate directly, it really helped me figure out stuff that I probably would not have been able to really "see" on the guitar otherwise. The cool thing is that now I have too instruments. For some reason, if I sit down at the piano and whip out "Misty" or "Over the Rainbow" or "Here's That Rainy Day" or some other standard, people listen and like it and listen. If I try that with the guitar, people always ask "why don't you sing?", and promptly go back to whatever they were doing before I was there. So the guitar is for personal enjoyment and the piano is for both, for me in my personal experience so far. Tony

And it is considered a percussion instrument. Due to how the strings are played, with hammers. |

The piano does have great sustain with the sustain pedal pressed down. Of course these days, it seems that most everything can be a percussion instrument. Tony

Piano evolved into synth.

Maybe I should've started a 'Is a piano a stringed instrument?' thread.

Played drums semi-pro. Also woodwinds (saxes, clarinets, flutes); free-reeds (piano accordion, diatonic button accordions, concertinas); fiddle, cello, lever harps, zithers (strings, but quite different from guitar)..
*BTW to me it's interesting, any way - I'd even point out the differences with pedal steel, it's as fundamentally different as bowing or blowing - just has the same guitar layout.. but the sound is as distinctively different as anything - they're actually more akin to long zithers. Volume/dynamics production on pedal steel is like accordion or horns, bowed strings.. can render volume swell/variation, legato/continuous.. as the plucked strings do not. Really, electric guitar is likewise a totally different instrument from ac guitar. Last edited by catt; 03-19-2022 at 11:38 PM. |

Played drums since the age of 10, mostly in punk bands but then got really into jazz drumming about 10 years ago. Also play a wee bit of anglo concertina, probably going to get more serious about that one this year.
