Very good depending on what you're using it for!
Set name: 88 Key Piano
I arrange music for orchestras and small ensembles, and I need something very small and lightweight that I can put behind my PC keyboard and mouse while I work, and put away in a cabinet when I'm done. For my use, there is nothing better out there, especially since it's a full 88 keys. Pros: - Very portable, very lightweight - I love the emulation of full-sized keys... even if you press down at the edge of a key, the whole key moves down at once which sort of feels like pressing a real key even though they're not as long. - Easy to setup and use - Great feature set... transposition, some demos, accompaniment, MIDI in and out Cons: - Can be a little finnicky to lay out without a relatively flat surface - Light, low-resistance keys means it's easy to make mistakes if you're trying to use it as an instrument for performance and not just a practice tool - bad speakers and sort of chintzy built-in sounds. Fun to mess around with, but not particularly useful - No velocity sensitivity. - Micro USB may be a turn-off for some. I wish it had USB-C My verdict... For a beginner, I'd recommend getting something that can sit out on a stand or table with better keys. More likely you'll play it if it stays out, and you'll develop much better habits with a better keybed. For a music producer, I would go with something with a smaller range and more MIDI controls like knobs and faders for simple note input and portable control, and then have a dedicated weighted keyboard for performance-type recording. For an arranger or on-the-go beginner or non-pianist that just needs a keyboard for practice, keyboard visualization, or other non-performance uses, this is probably THE best option out there since it has full-width keys but is as small and as light as those mini producer keyboards. ... show more

Fascinating folding keyboard, but too many trade offs for serious pianists
Set name: 88 Key Piano
Note: I’m not a serious pianist. I picked this up when it was deeply discounted because I like messing around and I wanted to have something that wouldn’t take up a lot of room in storage and that I could use as a midi controller. Let’s start with the good stuff: * This folding keyboard takes up almost no room when folded and it only weighs a few pounds. It feels a bit like a magic trick when you pull this full-size keyboard out of its bag. * It offers full-width 88 keys just like a regular piano. * The keyboard feels a bit better made due to the metal bottom plate than its price might suggest. * The folding mechanism feels solid. All wires are carefully enclosed in strong, but flexible plastic. That isn’t likely to be a point of failure later, no matter how many times you fold or unfold it. * 64-key polyphony means you could mash down 64 of the 88 keys all at once and they’d all play normally without being cut off. That’s pretty good for a piano of this price. * The piano offers the full standard MIDI sound set, 128 sound samples. * The internal battery lets you play for a good while before you need to recharge. * There are built-in stereo speakers that are reasonably loud (but they’re not great sounding, so use the headphone-in jack). * The included USB cable charges the keyboard and allows MIDI-via-USB, so it can be used as a MIDI controller for your favorite software. * The piano includes a plastic sustain pedal. * Built-in metronome and included note stickers for first-time players. (You have to manually apply the stickers if you want to use them.) * The carrying bag is cloth and good quality with a snap closure. It is big enough for everything that ships with the piano with room left over for sheet music or headphones or whatever. I don’t think this would be great for someone who is a serious pianist because there are a number of compromises: * The keyboard sections do not lock together when unfolded, so you need to place the keyboard on a solid surface. I suppose this could be slightly positive if you need to play on a curved surface, but who does that and this keyboard won’t work with the typical keyboard stand that just has two or three bars that hold up the keyboard. * The keyboard keys are full-width, but not full-length. This might throw off people used to playing a standard size keyboard. I will say that the ratio between the length of the black and white keys seems to remain the same as a standard piano. * The black keys barely stick up above the white keys. They really should have increased the folded spacing between sections to allow for higher black keys. * The key action tends to be noisy. Sort of like clicking on a mechanical keyboard (though that is a positive in one way because playing near the top of the key is just as easy and reliable as playing near the bottom). * The built-in MIDI sound set is not the best I’ve ever heard. * The sustain pedal uses a non-standard 3.5 mm headphone jack, so you’re stuck using the pedal that came with the unit. Also, the wire length could be a bit longer, though in most seated or standing setups it should be able to reach the floor. * The speakers aren’t the best in terms of sound quality. Not terrible, but not great. Thankfully the headphone output is clean. * Although the unit has something like 30 built-in demo songs, it has no recording memory. If you want to record, you need to use something external or the midi controller functionality. * The USB charging/MIDI output cable is way too short. I wish it had a 6-foot cable at least. It is only 4 feet long, tip-to-tip. * The keys aren’t velocity sensitive, so you won’t be able to vary the sound levels with the action of your hands. All-in-all, if you need a self-contained midi controller that takes up very little room or if this is a purchase for a first time player, it’s not a bad choice, especially on sale. If you’re looking to have pro quality in a portable package, look elsewhere. *** UPDATE 7/23/23: *** I’ve been using this for about a year now and it has held up well so far. Overall battery life continues to be good (plus battery drain when in storage seems to be pretty good, too, the battery doesn’t drain too quickly when charged but not in use). The unit itself has held up well to periodic playing. None of the keys are broken and all functions work. The included USB cable is still ok, but I don’t think it would hold up well if crimped tightly for an extended period of time. Mine is mostly tied up in the included bag. I don’t leave the keyboard plugged in. I definitely recommend getting yourself a longer cable if you’re going to use it plugged in regularly. 4 feet just doesn’t cut it in my opinion. The speakers work ok, with no more distortion than normal and the headphone port continues to work well, with minimal hiss or distortion. I didn’t use the stickers and they’ve been stored in climate controlled areas, and they still seem ok with plenty of stickiness. The pedal still works, though mine doesn’t click when pressed as much as as it used to. I stand by my original rating. ... show more

Great for practice on vacation
Set name: 88 Key Piano
Is this a really great sounding keyboard? No. Would I want to perform with, or hear a performer that used it? No. But! That's not what you buy this keyboard for. If you're shopping for this keyboard, it's because you are going to travel, and won't have access to a real keyboard or piano while away. You have kids who would like to keep up daily practice, or you want to accompany your Christmas carols at the family gathering, or you're going to a church camp and want to have more options than guitar for the Sunday morning singing, or something like that. For those purposes, this product will serve you fine. Pros: -Spacing of keys is generally correct and to scale. -Sound is acceptable for a cheap keyboard (this isn't a $900 product, folks, you're paying less than 10% of that.) -You can actually press down on the keys, and feel them move- important for those learning to play. -folds super compact when not in use. -comes with a little tote and all- how cute is that? Cons: -keys aren't full length or height, if that matters to you. -there's some clicking when playing especially if your fingernails are longer. -for better sound, you'll need to add an external speaker set that works with the headphone jack. -instructions are brief and not extremely well written though mostly intelligible. Good to know: You need a flat and sturdy surface nearly as long as the unfolded keyboard to open and use this on. There's no way to "lock" it open (that would be a fantastic improvement!) to use with a stand or anything. Bottom line: compared to other portable keyboard products in this price range this is a fantastic and superior choice. I would recommend it for any hobbyist level player. ... show more

Practice while traveling; but short key length limits functionality
Set name: 88 Key Piano
Positives: extremely light weight and small; easy to travel with. The headphone jack is a great feature. Using the organ sound is the least offensive tone/sound in my opinion, but I really don’t care about the sound quality. This is for travel practice only. Cons: it is difficult to play any key signature with more than 1 or 2 sharps/flats. This is because the black keys are very short in length and height. If I’m playing, for example, a full Ab major chord, there's no room for the middle finger/Eb on the black key. The only way for me to play it is to curl my middle finger under and play with the fingernail. On a regular sized keyboard there is room for the fingers to slide up on the keys (closer to the soundboard) so fingers 2 and 3 aren’t scrunched up as thumb and pinky play octaves. I should also mention that the metronome feature doesn’t display beats/minute, just a degree of speed. So, Level 5 is approximately 70 beats/minute. I don’t mind the sound, sing I purchased this solely to keep up practicing while I travel for work (which is frequent). On average I have 6 new songs to learn every week, and every day counts in getting the music ready for the next Sunday morning. I find it perfect for things that are in the key of C, F, G, Bb, and D. Unfortunately, I really need to be able to play in every key and to modulate, and the design just doesn’t allow for much utilization of the black keys. If this were redesigned with full length keys, I would absolutely purchase again. For what it is and at this price point, I’m pleased to be able to literally practice while sitting on a balcony at the beach, headphones in, overlooking the ocean, and unconcerned about the effects of salt air. To be clear, I am not a beginner learning the piano, and I would not recommend this product for learning to play. If you have a decent piano or weighted full size keyboard at home as your main instrument, this travel keyboard is sufficient for some types of targeted practice while away from home. ... show more

My dad plays piano by ear and has been missing it while he’s been in the hospital. I bought this because it’s compact and easy to travel with. While no one should expect anything more than what it is—it’s great for the value and it’s portability. It will not stay flat on its own though, so you will need a flat surface underneath it. I found a pergo board to lay it flat on and it worked perfect. But just keep that in mind. That would be the only downside to it, that the pieces do not lock in place. But again, for what it is, I think it’s great. And most importantly, it’s making my dad very happy in the hospital! It’s doing exactly what I wanted it to, which is trigger his memory and his motor skills. He said it doesn’t sound like his piano at home….and I had to remind him this is not a baby grand piano, it’s an $80 keyboard…. Music is magic. ... show more

Kid toy "quality", tiny sound, but very portable.
Set name: 88 Key Piano
This is not for a "real" piano player. The keys aren't spaced quite the same (close, but something is off) as a regular key board so your finger memory is all wrong. The sound is, well, it's there. The speaker is about an inch in size, and the sound reflects that in a very disappointingly toy-like way. The action on the keys is good and bouncy, but that's about all I can say I really liked about it. Good points for the key board that folds up to a nice little package, and slips into a light weight cotton case, that reminds me of a cloth grocery bag type carrier. (Plain single seam, front and back piece, with loop handles, no zipper) If you have a child just learning piano, and you want them to continue to practice on vacation, this would be an option to keep them on track. It's not something I found to be a solution for our travel plans to keep up with my beginner-level adult-learning of piano. The sound and the short height of the black keys made it feel too much like an inadequate toy. We're hoping the hotel will have a piano on the premises ... ... show more

In general, I love this product for the value. I’ve had it for four days now. I purchased this for getting serious learning piano with the intention of buying a better piano later once I got familiar with options many digital keyboards offer. So for me, I was looking for something affordable, all 88 keys, and easy to transport so that it may still have a purpose once I upgrade later. It definitely feels like a kids toy being lightweight and lots of clicking plastic, but that isn’t stopping me from learning with it. I’m mostly using apps that recognize audio, and it works fine for that. My biggest gripe is the sticky ‘E’ key on the edge doesn’t always spring back up all the way - but it still works. PROS 88 keys. Easy to store and transport when folded. Less than 4 pounds. Has a tote bag with a snap. 8 hour rechargeable battery. Wires along hinges look well protected. Works great as midi controller over USB. Was automatically recognized by my device. Includes micro USB data cable. Includes 52 stickers to put on keys with note on staff, note letter and number if thumb is on C, dots representing octave, and tiny number of white key. Metronome between 1 and 6 beats with tempo between 1 and 16. Sustain pedal. Has 3.5mm audio jack. 128 instruments 128 accompaniments, with adjustable tempo 30 demo songs to play along with adjustable tempo Tapping power resets to default settings/instrument. Hold power to turn on/off prevents accidental power when traveling. Can change transpose keys by six in either direction. CONS No AC adapter for USB cable. Would prefer USB-C. No ‘normal’ MIDI port (midi over usb only) Keys not weighted. Keys do not detect pressure or speed. Interface to choose between 128 instruments and accompaniments is horrible with arrow kbuttons. Could have used first 10 piano keys as a number pad while holding sound or Accompaniment Buttons. A key tends to stay halfway down sometimes. No Bluetooth as midi controller or headphones. Lots of clicking plastic. Volume not high enough for parties or public spaces. Unable to lock into a rigid position to put on piano stand. Rubber feet look like they’ll fall off over time. No enumerated list of instruments, accompaniments, or demo songs to reference. No pedal for soft notes. Black keys are a bit short in height. Quarter inch lip of plastic in front of keys. Segments tend to slide off pegs when folded. You may want a strap or rubber band to hold it together. No storage IO for music, instruments, or accompaniments such as microSD, USB drive, or Bluetooth. ... show more

Great concept, short lifespan
Set name: 88 Key Piano
Keyboard initially worked great - portable, decent sound/volume, appropriate rechargeable battery life, good for practicing on the go. It had very fun instrument sounds and accompaniment settings. However, I used product maybe 1-2 times per month, and item stopped working correctly a little over a year after purchase. One day, I turned on the product, and no sound came when hitting the keys. I restarted the piano, and then it started to play random instrument sounds on its own. After several rounds of restarting, there was no improvement. When contacting the manufacturer, I was told there isn't any fix for this issue. Warranty is only for 1 year, so I was not able to get any reimbursement. I was especially disappointed because I barely used the product, and had been extremely careful when folding and unfolding each time I handled it. I have no idea why it broke. Overall, this product is a great concept, but it's functional lifespan is short. ... show more
