A digital keyboard and a digital piano may seem similar, but there are some key differences between them.

1. **Playability**: Digital pianos are designed to replicate the feel and sound of acoustic pianos as closely as possible. They usually have a full set of 88 keys and a hammer action mechanism, which means the keys provide a certain resistance when pressed to simulate the feeling of playing a real piano. On the other hand, digital keyboards often have fewer keys (61 or 76) and less weighted keys, making them more lightweight and compact.

2. **Sound Quality**: Digital pianos typically offer better sound quality, often featuring multiple recorded samples from acoustic pianos and various other instruments. They also usually have more sophisticated sound engines and effects to improve the overall sound experience. While digital keyboards also offer different sounds and effects, the quality may not be as refined as on digital pianos.
