List of keyboard instruments

A keyboard instrument is a musical instrument played using a keyboard, a row of levers which are pressed by the fingers. The most common of these are the piano, organ, and various electronic keyboards, including synthesizers and digital pianos. Other keyboard instruments include celestas, which are struck idiophones operated by a keyboard, and carillons, which are usually housed in bell towers or belfries of churches or municipal buildings.[1]

This list categorizes keyboard instruments by their designs, and thus operations.

Idiophones Edit

Idiophones produce sound primarily by the vibration of the instrument itself, without the use of air flow, strings, membranes or electricity:

Electrophones Edit
