Keyboard: as in a computer's keyboard or an electric piano keyboard?

The part of a guitar where you press the strings down to make particular notes is called the fingerboard.

I tested "... drops" and it was not accepted. Yet in the UK we might use it as much as 'falls' in this context. My dictionary's first choice for drop (intransitive) is 'cadere'.

In this context "off" would be working as a preposition. The sentence would need to determine the "what" with which the keyboard is falling off of.

It probably comes from Vulgar Latin taxito. To feel with the fingers in Dutch is "tasten" which comes from the old French "taster". Funnily enough, this is the only way I can remember that keyboard in Italian is tastiera.
what a daft sentence; one of the reasons i don't pay for the full version

I put "falls over" as that seems more natural, but was marked wrong. Why??

Falls down means the subject fell due to its own action, more appropriate to say falls off

This sentence isn't complete. The keyboard falls from what? The keyboard falls onto what? This sentence makes no sense.

It's not so uncommon in italian, you could just say that something "cade", the implicit meaning is that it falls on the ground.
