Since we're celebrating all things Keyboard this month, let's have a look at the different types of keyboard instruments out there.
On the top left of the above picture, we have a Digital Piano - we had a closer look at these last week. If you missed our email, you can find it on our Blog. These are electronic instruments based on the design of the traditional Piano, but without the weight and need for constant tuning. They usually come with a range of piano tones and can look and feel just like the real thing.
Next to that you can see a Midi Controller. These are instruments that work as interfaces to computer recording equipment.
In the top right corner is an Electronic Organ - hugely popular in the 1970s, but a bit harder to find these days. Like the Digital Piano, these are electronic versions of the traditional Organ, but smaller and easier to have in the home. They have a volume pedal and bass pedals and can have up to three keyboards.
In the middle of the picture, you can see an Electronic Keyboard. These are what people usually mean when they say "Keyboard" these days, and can be extremely affordable and versatile, while holding a surprising array of different sounds and tones, and also rhythms and backing tracks.
On the bottom left corner is a traditional Grand Piano. These are beautiful, and very large instruments, that make music by using keys to strike strings with hammers. The harder the strike the louder the sound.
On the bottom in the middle is a traditional Pipe Organ. These instruments date back hundreds of years and can be found today in old church buildings and opera houses. Pedals pump air through a complicated system of pipes of varying lengths, and the notes are selected through a console of several keyboards.
Next to that on the right is a Piano Accordion. Very popular in European countries, these beautiful instruments are portable and also use air to create sound, with keys being the method of selecting notes.
And on the bottom right is a Synthesiser. This is a keyboard instrument that produces a wide variety of sounds by generating and combining signals of different frequencies. it is used in many different types of music.

This week, let's have a look at our range of Electronic Keyboards.
If you are after a handy, affordable keyboard with everything you need and nothing you don't, give the Casio CTX700 a try. It comes with the AiX Sound Source, giving you a wide range of tones.
A great 76 note keyboard is the Yamaha PSREW410, which is perfect for any style of music. It has high-res piano samples, powerful onboard speakers and easy to use professional features.
We also have the Yamaha PSRS670 keyboard, a step up in professional keyboard sound with two assignable live controllers, a modulation wheel and two assignable footswitch inputs. It puts you in total control of your sound and style during live performances.
And then there's the Yamaha PSRS975 Arranger Workstation keyboard, the ultimate of the PSR series, with more content and larger memory for expansion packs. It combines all the functionality of the other models together with powerful performance features, including versatile effects, external display and programmable vocal harmony.
When it comes to electronic keyboards, no matter what your needs or budget, we have you covered!
