If you don't have a real piano or keyboard at home, you can play this virtual piano from Apronus. This online piano keyboard simulator lets you play seamlessly with your computer's keyboard. It's the only virtual piano we have seen that lets you:

  • play chords with one piano key
  • activate and deactivate the sustain pedal
  • allows you to expand from 3 to 6 octaves (or 22 to 42 piano keys)

If you are reading this from a mobile device, rotate it to display the virtual piano in full width.

How to use this full virtual piano simulator?

While you can click on each key with your mouse or trackpad, the most convenient way to play this virtual piano is by pressing the associated keys on your computer keyboard.

  1. I recently started using GarageBand to record my playing. I use the midi Steinway grand piano to record and it sounds considerably worse when I play it back after recording it than when I'm playing it. There are a lot of chords out of sync with the melody but while playing I never feel so, only when I hear the playback of my recording.

The sustain pedal

Chords

Another reason why we liked this keyboard is because it allows you to toggle the sustain pedal on and off and keep the sound for longer without you having to hold your finger on the key. Just check or uncheck the sustain checkbox to activate or deactivate it.
