Page "Stage piano" Paragraph 1

Stage pianos usually have a smaller selection of sounds than digital electronic keyboards and synthesizers.

Instead of the hundreds of sounds and complex oscillator controls available on a high-end, professional synthesizer, they often have only a few sounds, typically acoustic piano, electric piano, and Hammond organ.

Also, instead of scrolling through the on-screen menus used on synthesizers, stage pianos are usually controlled with knobs and buttons.
