Digital piano

A digital piano is a class of electronic keyboard or synthesizer (rompler) designed to serve primarily as an alternative to the traditional acoustic piano, both in how it feels to play and in the sound it produces. Digital pianos use either synthesized emulation or recorded samples of an acoustic piano, which are played through one or more internal loudspeakers. They also incorporate weighted keys, which recreate the feel of an acoustic piano.

Some digital pianos are designed to also look like an upright or grand piano.
Others may be very simple, without a stand.
