Great key-sensitive keyboard
JayH 28.10.2017
I was looking for a key-sensitive keyboard for my son for Christmas. I was hoping to find something not too expensive, I knew I wouldn't find anything with weighted keys in my price range, so this was the next best thing. I also wanted no less than 61 keys, which it has.

It's a good keyboard, you get a lot for the money. I bought the kit, with the stand and headphones.

There are a great number of sounds, and these sound pretty good. The speakers are reasonable too, although I'd prefer to plug it into an amplifier for more bass personally, but that's probably just me.

There really isn't anything wrong with it at all. My only slight irritation, and I'm sure it is for most parents is... "The Demos"!

Demos are great in themselves, and can be slowed down, and learned. But they are irritating. I wish manufacturers would spend that money on more sounds, or something else. They are never a selling a point.

It's not a "kids" keyboard at all, but I imagine a lot of kids will get them at Christmas, the demos detract from the actual practicing the kids should be doing, i.e. playing, not using it as a duke-box!

Anyway, again, lovely for the money guys!

Nice for the price
Nate the Enthusiast 11.04.2017
Overall, this is a good keyboard to start learning on. It is nice that it ships with a power supply.

The keys are responsive, the built-in functions are intuitive, and it offers a lot of flexibility without being too complicated.

I did have one issue initially; when I put batteries in it, it wouldn't power up. One of the positive battery contacts was not contacting the post of the battery. I remedied this by prying up the contacts with a small screwdriver, and it powered up no problem.

It has the two features I really wanted; velocity-sensitive keys and USB MIDI. It would be nice if it had an audio line-in, but that's a small thing.

Another nice feature is how well-designed the stereo speaker system is. If you hit a key on the left, the sound comes more from the left. The same is true for the right and center.

It is also nice that all of the voicings, styles, and such are printed in the instruction manual.

I plugged it into my computer, and it was immediately recognized in Reason, EZKeys, and EZDrummer. Good stuff.

Overall, I am very happy with this keyboard, especially for the price.

It's my first keyboard
DanielPicon 13.03.2022
I wanted to get something that had many sounds, would have some sort of touch sensitive option, not necessarily weighted keys cuz I didn't really want to spend big $$, in addition to that I wanted it to have decent sound. I read some reviews and this one seem to fit my checklist. And now that I've had it for a couple of months I have to say that the sound is not the best but on every other single aspect it delivers. The thing about the sound is that when you crank it it distorts quite bad so just play it at moderate levels and you will be fine.

Fantastic start for beginners at almost no price!
Adilka 22.11.2019
This piano allowed me to return back to playing after a 10+ year break. I purchased it back in 2015 and was hesitant about investing more in the piano as I wasn't sure how firmly I would stick with this decision, but I did not regret the decision at all. The sound of this piano is good enough for practicing and the keys are responsive to the touch, although it should be noted that this is not hammer action kind of keyboard, so the difference will be felt. This issue didn't bother me at all, but I'm currently considering an upgrade after almost 5 years. An additional benefit of the keyboard is that it can be used as a controller for whatever DAW you are using and the keys are very responsive in this regard also (I checked in home recording environment). Definitely a great starter keyboard, or a complimentary input device for a studio environment. Recommended!

Excellent Value
Anonymous 26.04.2016
I wanted something that could be a cheap MIDI and standalone keyboard for fun. And this does it very well.

Way better value, IMO, that the alternatives.

Sounds are very good compared to similar sounds in nearest competitors.

The fact that the MIDI worked straight out of the box with no issues is impressive. Even the pitch-bend wheel was identified correctly.

Velocity sensitivity hard to rate, but certainly registers a good range of values via MIDI.

And delivered with UK plug adapter, power supply and even a manual in English.

Feels robust.

Very pleased so far. Beat all my expectations.

Great keyboard for my kids
blues_brother 17.06.2019
This keyboard was bought for my kids, who attend cello classes and needed a simple keyboard to be always at hand for solfeggio lessons (I already have a Kawai VPC-1 with perfect weighted keys for practicing piano). After several days of use I can say that this instrument perfectly does this job and even more: my boys spend a lot of time now playing with different tones and styles. Metronome, different rythm styles, 300 tones, stranspose function and many more!
Of course, it is just a peace of plastic with cheap plastis keys, but if costs less then a 100 Euro;) It sounds OK thanks to 64 voice polyphony, its not heavy so you can easily carry it from one room to another and, finally, it's fun&joy to play it.
Highly recommended! The only thing I would improve in this instrument is the number of demo songs - I gues it's not a problem to program a hundred of them instead of 8.

Startone Surprise
stevemcq 22.04.2015
Bought this as a gift and was very impressed with the quality of the sounds and general specification of the keyboard, the person I bought it for was also very impressed with the keyboard (thankfully!). Compared to a similarly priced Yamaha, this one is superior in every way. With the self accompaniment features and recording, it makes a great first keyboard. It is a little more functional in appearance that the bigger names, but behind the somewhat plain design is a really good keyboard, especially considering the price.
