KEYBOARD

Keyboard instrument is a musical instrument played using a keyboard. The most common of these is the piano. Some other types of keyboard instruments include celestas, which are struck idiophones operated by a keyboard, carillons, which are highly different instruments made by man kind that are usually housed in bell tower or belfries of churches or other municipal buildings, and other non-acoustic instruments,such as various electronic organs, synthesizers, and keyboards designed to imitate the sound of other musical sounds. Today, the term "keyboard" is mostly commonly used to refer to keyboard-style synthesizer. Under the finger of a sensitive performer, the keyboard may also be used to control dyanamics, phrasing, shading, articulation, and other elements of expression, depending on the design and inherent capabilities of the instrument.
