What are the main differences between an electric piano and a synthesizer, and how can one choose between the two for their musical needs?

The main difference between an electric piano and a synthesizer is how they produce sound. An electric piano uses recorded samples of acoustic piano sounds, while a synthesizer generates sounds electronically using oscillators and filters.

When choosing between the two for musical needs, consider whether you prefer the authentic piano sound of an electric piano or the versatility and customization options of a synthesizer. If you prioritize traditional piano sounds and play mostly classical or Jazz Music, an electric piano may be more suitable. If you are interested in creating a wide range of sounds and experimenting with different tones, a synthesizer would be a better choice.
