Great starter or small space option, semi weighted, touch sensitive and 88 keys.Got this as a piano to use in an apartment, so I can start teaching my 5yo. The sound is not that great but does the trick for sounding like a piano for starters, and the included pedal is also average.

Great starter or small space option, semi weighted, touch sensitive and 88 keys.Got this as a piano to use in an apartment, so I can start teaching my 5yo. The sound is not that great but does the trick for sounding like a piano for starters, and the included pedal is also average. The included bag is great, though the zipper pieces are thin and I accidentally broke a piece off one. The handles are strong and it was easy to carry around. When you play further up on the keys (at the root of the keys) there is more resistance than real keys, and surprisingly the keys are stiffer than loosely tuned concert grands (but not by much). It charges via a micro usb cable, and the battery setting is great since we do not have to plug it in everyday. The power button flashes rather when battery is low, and there's a light next to the usb plug that goes from red to green once fully charged. I was able to carry this on a plane and it fits well in the overhead compartment of a long-haul flight. It is relatively light and does not come with a music (book) stand, so I bought a folding one separately. The kids like to play with the rhythm buttons, etc, but the minimal layout ensures they get a more realistic piano feel. I had gotten pretty serious about piano when younger so I like to play too, with headphones, and while it doesn't really feel or sound like a Fancy grand piano, it is a great starter and has brought Us and the kids a lot of musical joy without adding to the clutter (it goes in the bag behind the couch when not in use). Shipping was also faster than estimated and the sellers were pretty responsive. Keep in mind return shipping is only covered in case of defect of the piano, so I would be sure to read the description and details closely and be ok with what this piano offers. It is a great value for what I needed and I just hope it holds up well beyond the first few months (have had for 3 months so far).
