Does an electric keyboard need to be tuned?

Electric keyboards and pianos do not need to be tuned like typical acoustic pianos. For an electric keyboard, you'll simply need to plug it in and turn it on for it to be in tune. The tuning is in the digital hardware of the electric piano, so you never have to worry about taking it in to be professionally tuned.

How long do electric keyboards last?

Electric keyboards can remain functional for many years, and possibly even decades if properly taken care of. To properly care for your electric keyboard, you'll want to use it often and wipe it down when it collects dust.

What is the difference between digital piano keys and acoustic piano keys?

An acoustic piano has heavier, weighted keys that produce a richer sound than that of a digital piano. On a digital piano, all of the keys carry the same amount of weight but are digitally engineered to produce a different sound as if you were playing an acoustic piano.
