Speculation Time!
If I were to guess I would say a single octave keyboard, maybe even with a little extra baggage and a stand to make it feel more substantial. I'm sure they, or a third party, would then release a keytar version. Pitch Shifter should also come into the mechanics, with the slider on the keytar this feature could be awesome.
I've only bought Guitar Hero 3 and Rock Band (although I've played the sequel). I'm sure there are a lot of people who have stopped playing it altogether, myself included, don't have every iteration of game and peripheral out and might take interest in this.
Remember, amongst the casuals and the hardcore live...the others...

Harmonix better have a Keyboard+Game bundle, because by now, most people that want to play the game, have a full band.
I bet that off line, you can only have 4 instruments, but online, getting a full band should be a no brainer. Or maybe, one of the instruments can control the mic in the menus, because really, the Mic should not NEED a pad, unless played solo.
Either way, I'm sure Rock Band will be the 1st thing unveiled when E3 starts, like usual. So E3 can't come sooner.

I want a keyboard, not a keytar (spelling?)
Also, I think a full keyboard is in order. You could still make it easy by allowing several keys to be one...thing. IDK I hope it works well.
New possibilties ftw.

The possibility of playing some of Elvis Costello's early work with the Attractions (This Year's Model, Armed Forces) on keyboard makes me wet. DRIPPING WET
I'll say the same thing about this that I just did about the new GH game: we'll see what music they got. If it's more mainstream garbage that puts me to sleep I'll pass.
Cool! I'm curious to see how they do it, and I wonder if it'll be ridiculously difficult on the higher difficulty settings.
I hope they make the piano Peripheral sold seperatly so i dont have to get a whole new bundle after i got the Beatles if i do ill be selling the guitars, the drums, and the mics
I want some Reggie and the full effect YESTERDAY. Would even forgive Harmonix if they were to release a piano only (well, at least focused) title to catch the library up. I'm stoked on this, finally!
Hope it will be a 2 octave keyboard (but lets face it, that would be a lot to chart... then again maybe they could have different colors on the line to show the need for the higher octave) or perhaps like a midi-keyboard a press of a button would raise the octave... and since they wont have to emulate everything a good midi keyboard does, just the keys, it shouldn't cost too much. E3 better give me answers, kind of wish this news waited to drop until E3 so that I wouldn't have to sit here not having any idea of this is going to go down.

@Vespertine Nah, being a Little Rock, AR native, seeing Evanescence blow up was the classic "home town girl done good" story. Add another few tracks I say.
more plastic instruments? Or will it be another guitar part that is all hammeron/pulloff? either way that's win. I was hoping for a rhythm guitar part to compliment bass/guitar but that's cool too
I don't get why everyone's like crying tears of joy...means NOTHING without the setlist. Course My nephew is a drum man and I'm on vocals/bass. Nothing of value was gained. *shrug*
Anyone else want Bluetooth rechargeable instruments on the PS3?
*hears crickets*
Hell it would let my son and I play the PS2 Guitar Hero games I invested good money in....

@JoeCamNet:
"Let's hope the full band bundles don't get even MORE expensive with a new instrument..."
Seriously? You think when they add stuff, the price will STAY THE SAME or go DOWN?

I'm hoping that the keyboard support is a dongle to attach any MIDI keyboard, not a pack-in fake instrument. You'd get some actual utility out of the instrument, or you'd already have one around.
And, 70+ comments and no love for Billy Joel? I will freakin' LOVE to have "Only the Good Die Young" playable.

Hmmm I mentioned this on that GH story yesterday, perhaps I should have sent a buzz down the tips line instead.
They don't show the whole keyboard. So I'm going to assume that the icon is just showing a section of what can only logically be your next true rock band instrument:
I pray to the God of Skinny Punks that we get a keytar in the bundle. So now that there's (possibly) key(tar)board, can we get some November Rain up in this bitch?
Also big question that might or might not have been asked already: What does the keyboard player do when there's no keyboard parts?

My dreams of playing Keyboardmania are almost realized! o: It'll be interesting to see how they do this.
I'm down. Doing the keyboard solo on "Planet Hell" by Nightwish would be great fun, plus all of the songs.
Required songs:
Keyboard cat's song
Mad World by Gary Jules
Safety Dance
and lets get some classical shit up in here!
I'm probably forgetting a lot of other great items in here too, but this is just top of the head stuff.

Oh boy! I sure love spending money on plastic peripherals rather than buying the real instrument it mimicks!
I heard they weren't going to make this game anymore. The artists wouldn't give them permission? casual summer dresses
