When actually playing, nothing feels better then a real piano vibration wise, but assuming you have all the bells and whistles, midi will almost always be a million times times better in the context of a final recorded piece imo. There are variables, but technology is only getting better and harder to differentiate when used by a skilled player
A pianist is not only someone who knows how to play piano, but someone who plays it on an everyday basis and/or exclusively plays it. If you practice with a keyboard, you’re a keyboardist because that’s the instrument you own. If you practice with a piano, you’re a pianist. the weight of the keys would be too different, so a keyboardist would not do so great without practice or proper piano lessons. the keyboardist would need a lot of time to get used to the dynamics changing by pressing keys softer or harder as well because it's not as easy when you're not used to it. I am a pianist and I for the love of god cannot play the keyboard. The keys are too light and it causes me to make too many mistakes, and the songs I play are not accustomed for the keyboard. It’s not to say you can’t be both, though, but people are mixing the two up I feel.
@@Ocelot_Growl You wouldn't need whole lessons to get used to the weight of the keys lol. And not really, it's something pretty simple to get used to, all you gotta do is just control how hard you press the keys for both of those, that's the only difference.
I have a keyboard, but I still call it a piano. Even though it doesn’t have strings and stuff like that, I’m still able to use pedal, and I can play as loud or as soft as I want without turning it up or down.
There are keyboards that are weighted (meaning the notes are as heavy as normal piano keys) and keyboards that are touch sensitive (meaning the harder/softer you press the keys the volume changes) and put these together on an 88 key keyboard, add some pedals, and that keyboard can do everything a piano can (except projection)
I play piano (self taught on a keyboard) but never said I could until I got an electric. Proud musician here that can play bass guitar (4+5 strings) , guitar (electric + acoustic) , violin , kalimba and drums (getting a kit at Christmas apparently!!) ! Sadly, at school I’m expected to learn songs quickly and preform. If you play the keyboard but can transition to a piano, use pedals, etc, I would say you are a pianist. Sadly not everyone can afford one. And the tiny pianos you get at school for computers don’t make you one.

A pretty big difference I noticed is that a piano will have a good bit more resistance. It was kinda embarrassing when I went to play a piano and I couldn't get used to applying more force so playing quickly wasn't possible for me within the timeframe. Luckily it was only friends around.
Everytime I see an old comment I made, I feel bad for the person I used to be. One day I'll see this reply and I'll feel pity for two versions of myself at once. In fact, I think I already do.
I learned to play with a cheap keyboard, and now I have a good one with key sensitivity and the 3 pedals. Yet I still will call myself a pianist because both my school and a English learning school I go to (English isn’t my first language) have grand pianos, and at this point I have played more at those places than at my own house. What about the times I don’t go to school since I’m in vacation? My grandma also has a grand piano at her house. The ONLY reason I don’t have a piano is because I live in a apartment at a pretty high floor and it would be hell to try to get one, so I got a keyboard because I have to practice somehow, but how I already mentioned I have played more the pianos at these places than the keyboard at my house, so I ask you, I’m a pianist? Edit: if anyone asks, I have a CDP-S360. Not the absolute best but I think is pretty good Edit(yes, again): I also don’t really get this video, wouldn’t a 88 keys keyboard with key sensitivity and the 3 pedals (mine is like that) be considered a digital piano? I’ve also seen some grand pianos that were digital. And still, there’re some people that just can’t afford to buy and maintain a piano or just don’t have space (also kinda my case). I’ve seen a lot more pretty good keyboards with all the things I mentioned earlier being cheaper than a considered cheap piano Also a side note here: who the hell plays pianissimo by turning down the volume? I’ve never seen that
It's sad cause in music school I got to play of piano and fortepiano but at home I have a keyboard. I finished 6 years of music school and I needed to leave my precious piano behind, and now play on keyboard😭
As a MIDI pianist player myself, I wouldn’t really call myself a pianist idk 🤷🏽♂️ but we can do what keyboardists can do and what pianists can do but better.
As a keyboardist, I can play pianissimo with full volume and I attach a pedal. I hate the reverb. When someone says to me that I'm a pianist, I correct them bc the keys play different and it's difficult for me to play with heavy keys. The reason I'm a keyboardist is bc I'm an argentinian and a piano is A LOT of money. My parents bought me a keyboard bc it's so much cheaper
i want to be a pianist but a) i don't have enough space at home for one b) i can't afford one. but i have a keyboard! and I'm trying to play like a pianist
I usually say I do piano/keyboard, because you can technically transfer all you’ve learned from keyboard to piano, then expand to using the pedals and such. But you still have to say you play keyboard. I also play violin 🎻
Idk if I'm considered a keyboardist or pianist bc my keyboard looks just like a piano, just with 4 buttons and a volume knob, and it also has touch sensitive keys and 2 pedals. However, i might be neither bc i mainly focus on guitar and i can only play fallen down, disassembly required, and the intro to the entertainer on the piano
A good keyboard player and a good painist will have certain difficulties playing the other instrument (assuming they haven't done such before) but will still be very skilled at the other instrument, however a low-level painist or keyboard player most likely won't have much issue or feel much difference

Not with understanding
But if u do have a good keyboard probably

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me, and I walk alone
I walk this empty street

Where the city sleeps

The keyboard we had growing up had a pedal with a cable running up to the back and the keys sensed how much force you used to choose the volume.
