Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'piano' names the instrument and 'keyboard' names the set of keys, so 'piano keyboard' straightforwardly denotes the set of keys on a piano. This compound follows a common noun–noun composition found across languages and uses high-frequency, literal constituents, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Piano keyboard comes from the simple image of many small keys set into a flat board. The keys are like buttons you press to make 'notes', so the name now means the set of black and white keys you press to play the piano.
