A digital piano is different from an acoustic piano. In acoustic
pianos, sound comes from a hammer hitting a string and causing it to
vibrate; a digital piano mimics that sound electronically.
A digital piano is also different from the keyboards you might find
in a big-box store. Digital pianos are also relatively lightweight, but
they have 88 weighted keys, like an acoustic piano, while cheap
keyboards often have fewer keys that don't respond to touch the same way
piano keys do. (For that reason, many piano teachers strongly
discourage the use of keyboards, even for practice-- only weighted keys
like those on a digital or acoustic piano build up the necessary finger
strength.)
