Solve : Is a computer keyboard a good alternative for a piano?? |
|
Answer» Now i am wondering if a keyboard might be used alternatively for a piano. A computer keyboard would be a very very bad substitute for a piano keyboard. It could not make the hammers hit the wires, for one thing. I would go for the computer keyboard because of its convenience. But how do you make a computer keyboard work a piano? Computer keyboard Piano It's easy enough to use a computer keyboard to play the piano, it's just rather clunky- what with bashing the keyboard into the piano keys and whatnot. Or, you could use it instead of piano keys, and smash it directly into the wires (or whatever they are called). Rather inefficient, and equally clunky. This method, however, is employed quite often nowadays; for example compositions by rap artists are often created by smacking a trombone into an elephant with no legs, whose trunk then extends, slaps a stressed out cubicle worker, who cracks and starts to smash a keyboard into an open grand piano. The cacophony of sounds, as well as the general lack of voice talent (plenty of voice though) blends together to form a disgusting mass of terrible sound waves. For some reason younger generations appreciate this sound, why, nobody can guess. Some of the following theories have been proposed: One theory is explained by clear observation of it's polar opposite; for example, many people think they are better at things then they truly are; this applies quite aptly for singing, or playing various instruments. At some point people realize that smashing pots and pans together while reading the names of various vegetables, while technically known as metal, is unlikely to be very appealing to anybody whose eardrums haven't been blown out by listening to terrible music that sounds no worse for wear when compressed to a 24kbps mp3 then at CD quality (quality of course is used in the term of "quality of REPRODUCTION" of the original. If the original sucked, a quality reproduction will as well). This phase is generally grown out of when people find what they are actually good at. Unfortunately, somehow this trend has in fact reversed; many popular artists these days have the musical skill of a CONSTIPATED, tone-deaf chimp; so the question arises: why are they popular? Certainly it cannot be their music, since it sucks more then a hoover on overdrive; no, there must be some other factor. the belief here is that somehow the trend where people think they are good at something they suck at- self-disillusionment, really- has somehow "reversed" to the point where the fans of a artist think they are good despite them having the talent of a herd of alcoholic amish gophers; It's a sad state of affairs. (and yes, I am taking the piss here more then a herd of diuretic camels). Another theory posits that despite the artist being as musically inclined as a broken tuning fork, that it's possible that people like the artist as a result of DISRUPTIONS in the fabric of space and time. These are often caused by people going back and forth through time willy-nilly, with LITTLE care for the consequences of their actions. For example, it's fully possible that in an original timeline various rap artists were actually popular because they were artists from a genre that wasn't really just a contest to see how many words rhyme with "hoe" (although their fascination with gardening came as quite a surprise to me, as well). What the theory posits is that some douchebag went back in time and changed history; for example, maybe he accidentally sat on my great aunt-martha's Apple pie as it was cooling in a window sill on a cool saturday morning, which, as a result of the butterfly effect (so named because it was discovered by Edward P. Butterfly, the first butterfly to ever get a post-doctorate) would cause all sorts of freaky unrelated changes to the timeline that don't make any sense and yet would somehow really work as part of a plot to a movie or television series. (Much like that un-aired episode of Stargate where they TRAVELLED to a parallel dimension where Teal'c was a homosexual; it was of course not aired as a result of somebody in the background of one shot mouthing the N word), other interesting factoids about that episode's "parallel universe" were that General Hammond was a small gecko with huge lips, McGyverO'Neil was a piece of cheese wearing glasses that had the special ability to manipulate psuedo-random number generators, and Daniel Jackson was a baked potato who was strictly butter-side up, much to the chagrin of the aforementioned Teal'c.). So, in any case, as the theory posits, somebody basically dicked around with time and made it so the artists were crappy; however as a result of the "Sears" effect (so named because it's discover was sponsored by Sears) there is a sort of inertia in the time-space continuum that prevents it from changing all at once (this why people would fade out in pictures inexplicably, despite the fact that modifying a timeline in any way introduced any number of unresolvable time paradoxes that movies blithely ignore). so, the fans still think the artist doesn't suck. I am wondering if a piano might be used alternatively for a grilled cheese sandwich.

In the first place, the keyboard for a computer has no similarity to the key layout of a piano. So, I'm sure anyone trained to play piano would agree this is absurd. Rats...
