Basic = nice

The two piano sounds are good. The other sounds are useful only for humor. Sometimes keys don't play when played softly but you get used to the applied pressure. Does exactly what I needed it for.

Bad key sensibility

Overall it has good materials and looks good. The sound is good although it seems that the bass keys gives way more volume than the treble ones.

But the sensibility is very bad! I returned it because of it and bought a Roland. It’s more expensive but it’s not even comparable.

It worths all the extra money.

My advice, if we don’t want to use the piano as a toy, is to spend more money and buy a piano from a good brand.

Good option for new learner

This is a good option with a good price for those who want to learn piano. I love the sound, it came out well though there is one or two key that is not precise but it is worth to buy.

good price for this quality

Perfect for it’s purpose!

A nice portable stage grand that is easy to take around and accompany others at gigs!

unrealistic touch sensitivity

I bought this keyboard because it is lightweight and portable and I am gigging a lot these days. The sound, knobs, keys, action, polyphony is all fine (the best you will find at this price) but the deal breaker for me is the touch sensitivity. I have played hundreds of keyboards in my life and only very few of them (some cheap clavinovas) had problems with touch sensitivity. The main problem is that this keyboard registers what I would consider a medium, mf touch as hard, ff. It is nothing like a real piano let alone a typical digital piano or keyboard. I have tried adjusting the 3 touch sensitivity settings, using the keyboard as a midi controller with a third party app (pianoteq) in which I could customize the velocity curve, a combination of the two, even adding compression to the audio output, and nothing worked. It is still registering everything as fortissimo, velocity = 127... and there is no way to play dynamically this way. It is a shame because if it were not for this problem I would easily give this keyboard 5 stars.

Also the sustain pedal is difficult to use but it does work just fine.

Touchy feedback

This built quality is great, but I’m unhappy with the sound reproduction as it pertains to reading keystrokes. If I try to play softly, sometimes (many times) the notes won’t be played at all. It means I either have to always play hard or my playing will sounds choppy. The response is great through usb on my phone though! The sensitivity picks up much more accurately when an external device is connected.

For a low-end piano, it's decent.

Great instrument for child piano beginer

Great tool for child piano beginner with no place for classic wood mechanical piano!!
