Question

Is a classic piano similar to a digital one?

Answer 1

I think you mean a keyboard.

Well there are different types of each.

For "classic" pianos (I know there is a real name for them), they come in different sizes from Grand pianos to those more vertical ones that take a lot less space.  These sound just great!  Most have 3 pedals, one sustain pedal, one to mute it a bit, and one to mute it more.  They are usually pretty expensive and require professional tuning every now and then.

Keyboards....well there is a much bigger variety.  I've seen them with only one octave to  full size ones.  You can get really good keyboards that can sound similar to a regular piano, or you can get really cheap ones that still come with all the fun little rhythms and tones and songs programed in it.  Its a lot of fun having all the technology stuff so you are not as limited in your music playing.  Some of the cheaper ones though are not touch sensitive, which means that no matter how hard or light you hit the key, it will produce the same volume..which is really horrible!  You can find pedals and stands for these at probably any music store or even cheap ones at an electronic store.  Also, they require a power supply, whether its batteries or an AC adapter.
