An electric piano is a musical instrument that produces sound using electronic means rather than traditional strings or hammers. It typically features a keyboard similar to an acoustic piano but generates sound through electronic circuits and speakers. Electric pianos can replicate various sounds, including those of traditional pianos, organs, and synthesizers, making them versatile for different music styles. These instruments often come with built-in effects and features, such as recording capabilities and connectivity to computers or other devices. Popular models include the Yamaha P-Series and Roland FP-Series, which are favored by both beginners and professional musicians for their portability and sound quality.
