Customer reviews
What customers say
Summarized and selected by AI from recent customer reviews
Customers praised this compact MIDI keyboard for portability, USB connectivity, and "good piano sound." Popular features include arpeggios, loop functions, and MIDI compatibility. Some noted the mini keys (smaller than standard) require adjustment, and limited 3-octave range restricts certain songs. Great value for mobile use.

The piano is great! I use it to do my vocal warm-up when I am on the go, and at home, by connecting it to USB, I can use it as a midi interface to make creations, I am delighted.
In terms of quality/price ratio, it's perfect for what I do with it.
Of course, the keys are smaller than on a standard keyboard (it's a mini keyboard, so logical). So don't use it to try to learn piano (or for a child, and again). But for a nomadic use to quickly make chords or have a midi keyboard to couple it with Musescore for example, it's perfect ☺️
And the sound is still really good for such a small piano!
In addition, it can be used with an external battery if you don't want to put the batteries in.
I think you have understood that I love my piano and that I am delighted with my purchaseAutomatically translated

It is an instrument that fully corresponds to our expectations since we wanted a “singing guide” to help us in our vocalizations. It is lightweight and easy to carry. However, in my opinion, it could be improved by the internal installation of lithium batteries that can be directly rechargeable when the device is connected via a USB charger for example, a bit on the same principle as mobile phones.
This would avoid having to insert AA batteries, rechargeable or not.Automatically translated

I received it this week.
I am a very basic user because I am content to use it as a vacation piano that is easy to take with me on a plane or to the hotel.
So I don't use transposition functions, I just play around.
The instrument is really well thought out, practical, light, the piano sound is good.
On the other hand, 3 octaves is a bit tight and I don't play some songs. Hence the minus star.Automatically translated

Really great arranger keyboard.
Just remember that the keys are not in the classic format (smaller, normal considering the format).
Otherwise, really satisfied, even if the interface deserves a bit more intuitiveness as on the more expensive models, but nothing too bad after reading the manual providedAutomatically translated
