This is a 61-key portable electronic keyboard with built-in speakers, a detachable microphone and onboard teaching modes, aimed at beginners rather than performers. The keys are full-size but unweighted, which is the usual tradeoff at this price: easier for small hands to press, but not the hammer action a piano student eventually needs. It includes multiple instrument voices, rhythm tracks, a record and playback function, and a follow-along lesson mode, and it runs on either the included power adapter or batteries so it can move to a bedroom floor. Best fit: a first keyboard for a child, a low-commitment way to find out whether someone sticks with lessons, and dorm rooms where a full piano will not fit.
Pros
- Microphone is included in the box rather than sold as an add-on
- Runs on batteries or the power adapter, so it is not tied to one outlet
- Lesson and record modes give a beginner something to practice against
- Under 40 dollars, which makes it a low-risk way to test whether interest sticks
Cons
- The keys are unweighted and not touch sensitive, so a student who continues past the first year will outgrow it and need a weighted keyboard
Frequently asked questions
Are the keys full size?
Yes, the 61 keys are full width, the same as a piano. They are not weighted or touch sensitive, so playing harder does not play louder.
Does it come with a stand and bench?
No. This listing is the keyboard, microphone and power adapter. A stand and bench are sold separately.
Can I plug in headphones for quiet practice?
Yes, it has a headphone jack that cuts the built-in speakers, which is the usual way to make late-night practice workable.
Is this enough for real piano lessons?
It works for learning note names, basic hand position and early songs. A teacher will want weighted, touch-sensitive keys once a student is a year or so in, because dynamics cannot be practiced on unweighted keys.
