Shopping For Keyboards
Keyboard is one of the important musical instruments that a musician desires to buy first. There are varieties of keyboards available in the market with various features and functions. All these musical keyboards fall under categories such as MIDI controllers, digital pianos, arrangers, portables, synthesizers, work stations and organs. Each type of keyboard caters different needs and one need to know his exact requirements thoroughly before selecting the type of keyboard.
MIDI controller keyboards come with different varied number of keys like 25 and 88. They also include response factors such as velocity sensitive, weighted and aftertouch. Some of the MIDI controllers are equipped with control surfaces, drum pads, combination controllers, wind controllers, sliders, and knobs.
There are two broad categories of Digital Pianos like Console Pianos that are used at home and portable stage pianos usable for stage performance. Most of the features are same in both varieties and changes are only in their designs and sizes. The essential factors one has to look while buying digital pianos are key responsiveness, sound quality and their amplifier and speaker features. These factors highly influence the quality of music generated by them.
Arranger is a musical keyboard which is very useful for music directors and song writers. These keyboards are fitted with professional sound engines and a variety of compositional tools making the song writing easier. Portables are similar to arranges but meant for beginners. They are equipped with learning functions to facilitate the newly starters to acquire music. Arranges and portables can be connected with personal computers using USB and other types of connectivity in order to upload and download songs and related software.
Synthesizers are another type of musical keyboards that produce sound. Most of the present models use pre-recorded sounds for creating music where as the analog synthesizers produce music manipulating electrical signals. Sample based synthesizers are capable of producing variety of other musical instruments like organ, strings, piano, etc.
Workstations are basically arrangers with more enhanced features needed for song recording. These keyboards are fitted with hard disk drives, multi-track recording devices, and many more useful features that help the professional composers to produce high quality music.
Organ is basically a musical keyboard fitted with only an organ sound engine targeting the dedicated organ players. Unlike traditional analog models, present organs use digital models with features like pitch bend, modulation, and sound effects. This gives optimum desired results.

Does anyone knows locations of musical instruments shops in Abu Dhabi that deal with Yamaha or Korg Keyboards?
The best place is to check the Yamaha showroom on Hamdan street. It is located at the end of Hamdan Street next to Fedex. You can also check AKM music centre on Hamdan Street or near the Tourist Club Area.
Call 181 for more information. My friend personally bought his piano from the showroom on Hamdan Street!
