Dans le cas du piano acoustique, le son perçu par l’oreille est un ensemble de vibrations transmises par l’air dont l’excitateur est l’instrument au moyen de sa mécanique (touches, marteaux, cordes) et de l’amplificateur naturel qu’est sa table d’harmonie. 1, record 1, French, - piano%20acoustique

Un piano acústico utiliza una gama compleja de martillos, cuerdas, una caja acústica y otras partes móviles que funcionan interactuando entre sí. […] Por ejemplo, tocar un acorde en un piano digital puede simplemente resultar en tres notas tocadas, grabadas individualmente, al mismo tiempo, mientras que en un piano acústico, las tres notas interactuaran entre sí a través de la tabla armónica y se convierten en un conjunto de vibraciones, produciendo un sonido diferente, más complejo y rico. 1, record 1, Spanish, - piano%20ac%C3%BAstico
