Niphkeys

Niphkeys, primarily associated with Nigerian popular culture, particularly the afrobeats music scene, refers to small-sized musical instrument keyboards. The term is often used informally and colloquially. These keyboards are typically portable, battery-powered, and feature simplified functionalities compared to larger professional keyboards. Their affordability and ease of use make them popular among aspiring musicians and hobbyists, particularly in environments where access to full-sized or more sophisticated equipment may be limited. While not a formal musical term recognized in established music theory or instrument classification systems, "Niphkeys" has gained recognition through its consistent use within the Nigerian music community and its increasing appearance in online contexts related to music production and performance within that region.
