Sound is good, has clear instructions, and has many features that you'd expect from a keyboard. You get what you pay for for the price, which I believe is a good keyboard for beginners! Came within two-three days with prime. Would recommend this product.
If you already play piano OR are already committed to serious lessons, DO NOT BUY THIS. This is for the child and/or interested-adult who wants full sized keys for this price but does not mind the aspects of its low quality. Four stars because even though it's a good piano for the cheap price, and I can deal with the poor 'touch' of each key, the noise when headphones are connected (even with batteries!) and the volume 'reset' to 11/16 is quite frustrating.
REVIEW:
INTRO:
My background: I used to play guitar into my early 20s, but haven't played in many years, and I've never owned or played any kind of piano. I've 'messing around' here and there when I happen to have a few minutes in front of a piano, say, once every year or so. So I understand the repeating octaves of keys, but that's about it! And I was not yet serious about learning to play the piano when I bought this. So I'm not just a beginner, I'm NOT yet committed to seriously understanding/learning/playing the piano. If I were, I would put my $60 towards a better piano. That's critical to ask yourself before purchasing this.
Our child is just starting to walk, and as an adult with some musical experience, I get frustrated with so-called "musical" kids' toys, where keys light up and/or play entire sequences of music when a single button/key is pressed. I recently purchased a $10 harmonica (possibly the simplest and easiest modern instrument, second, perhaps, to tapping on things with spoons!), and I wanted another instrument, fun for both child and adult, which led me to this product.
So the two major factors I was looking for in such an instrument were:
-1: cheap enough to be comfortable letting the baby/toddler/child "mess around" on it with little supervision, accepting the risk of minor damage, AND
-2: "full" enough to be of interest to an adult to get acquainted with the instrument or to do some "beginner" practice.
A high-quality $2-500 electronic keyboard/piano would not satisfy the first requirement; and any one of the plethora of children's-sized pianos (with smaller keys for smaller fingers) would not satisfy the second requirement.
MAKE NO MISTAKE, THIS IS A DAMN CHEAP, LOW-QUALITY electronic keyboard -- but it satisfied both my requirements, and I'd suspect it would do so for months or years, so we bought it. Note the 1-star reviews of the build quality or poor quality control prior to shipping (missing keys, broke quickly, etc...)!
The most important thing we did (necessary for any new purchase), was THOROUGHLY make sure every single key and major button works properly.
VOLUME NOTE:
Many have noted it, and I will reiterate: THE VOLUME ALWAYS STARTS AT 11 -- literally! Granted, this is 11/16, so it's not max-volume *painful* to the ears, but it's loud enough to be annoying. This default volume is too loud whether you are playing yourself next to the piano, or if someone else (especially a child!) turns on and plays in another room/space without lowering the volume. It would be much better if the piano started up at volume "01."
Worse, if you leave the keyboard "on" without touching any buttons or keys for a while (one or two minutes?), the piano "reboots" to volume 11. If this is in the room for kids to use, and you allow it to remain "on," it's pretty annoying that the volume level resets.
And with a good pair of headphones connected, even volume 01/16 is too loud.
CHEAP ELECTRONICS:
At $60 -- which apparently barely pays for the plastic molding, cheap electronics, and company/employees to build/package/ship/etc the product! -- the electronics are of the quality you'd expect: extremely cheap.
In addition to whatever else you might expect of build quality (being careful not to drop/bump this), the audio is VERY noisy. This isn't a major drawback with the included speakers (at least on our unit), but when we plugged in a high-quality pair of Sony headphones, there was a LOT of noise. I also verified this using average AA batteries (six required, not included). I doubt any different batteries or a high-quality battery backup/surge protector/electrical-"cleaner" would help; the noise seems to be generated from the cheap electronics, although I will update this review if I am wrong and I can eliminate the noise.
Worse, there's more background electronic noise when pressing any key or button. Not really notable with the included speakers, but very notable with headphones. With headphones, I'd say 20-40 minutes is the absolute maximum a focused adult will be able to stand all the audio quality artifacts/issues. So A SERIOUS STUDENT SHOULD NOT BUY THIS. And if you seriously *expect* to become a focused student in the near future, I don't recommend it either. Like I recommend at the end for adults, it's best to "play around" with other pianos you may have access to in order to figure out how seriously you are interested in learning.
We also found volume "01" a bit too loud with headphones. This limits the comfort of playing with headphones (because the electrical noise will wear down your brain quickly, forcing a break!), and will prevent any kind of amateur recording with this piano unless you remove the noise with post-processing or by plugging into a 'cleaner' electrical source. For $60, I wasn't disappointing with this, but it's something to note if you have kids, a small home, or are otherwise planning to practice with headphones.
Finally, pressing the power on / power off gives a somewhat startling 'click', which will range from annoying to offensive to damaging, depending on your auditory sensitivity and whether you left your headphones on or not before hitting the power button! So proceed with EXTREME CAUTION not to already have your headphones on when you turn the keyboard on/off, or before playing any key until you've reset the volume level. Put the headphones on your ears AFTER the keyboard is on and volume is at a lower level! And always take your headphones off if you start reading music/watching an instruction video before hitting another key, because the volume level will reset and hurt your ears!
KEYBOARD KEYS IN GENERAL:
These aren't high-quality, weighted, sensitive keys, but they ARE normal-sized piano keys, and they'll do their job for an adult's first 2-12 months of testing interest in learning the piano.
Depressing and re-pressing a key (not sure what this is called in the piano world) repeats the same note AND resets the sound associated with it, rather than 'adds' to that particular note's existing sound. In time, even the most beginner of adults with absolutely no musical training will eventually notice this. Those with some musical practice will notice it quickly, such as myself, where I noticed it within 5-10 minutes. And any experienced piano player will instantly find it unbearable (see reviews). But it's bearable for me because I know I'm an absolute beginner.
The physical, plastic keys are also very (annoyingly) audible when pressed, all the more noticeable for any non-player in the room with someone playing on headphones.
KEY SIZE:
I almost purchased a mini-sized keyboard several times (thankfully that was an 'almost'!), and desiring normal sized keys narrowed down the possibilities quite a bit. Again, you don't have a full set of octaves here, but that's less important for the absolutely-new beginner simply testing the waters of playing piano, and a kid won't care. But purchasing something with mini-keys only sets the person up for frustration when encountering a normal piano in the world. And do child-sized keys actually lead a child to play more? Almost certainly not.
(In my opinion, mini-sized keys shouldn't exist. Children are more than capable of playing/learning/experimenting on full sized keys. If they don't use all the octaves, that's no big deal. One can go a long way with fewer octaves.)
One reviewer -- a piano teacher -- noted that these may not TECHNICALLY be full sized keys. As of our purchase in early 2020, when I searched through existing Amazon reviews, she was the ONLY review to note that, though I do not recall if she had measurements in her post. They certainly seem full-sized to me. If they are not, it is in the 'depth' dimension, or how far the key extends away from the player's body. Well, if you're buying a $60 electronic piano anyway, a perfect 'depth' for full-width keys is probably not a huge issue! Importantly, they are the normal width/spacing on the left/right axis, so your hands and brain will later feel comfortable with normal keyboards/pianos/organs found elsewhere.
Again, they seem full-sized to me. And if even if they aren't, it's hardly noticeable: most of us will outgrow the piano for other reasons (not touch sensitive, no pedals, fewer octaves, quality of electronics and sound, etc) long before the imperfect distance/depth of the keys becomes an issue.
NOTES FOR KIDS:
For younger kids, there are a few visually attractive, red/orange buttons which will draw in their visual system, screaming out, "touch me!" One of these is the big circular orange "start/stop" button, which starts or stops the current drum-centric "rhythm" beat. This ranges from entertaining to mildly annoying, and tends toward the latter when you remember that the rhythm volume is SEPARATE from the main volume, and also starts at 11 and must be lowered on each reboot! Worse, the most attractive, bright-red, taller-and-most-obvious button...? Yup: it's the main power button, which, remember, makes an annoying "click!" each on/off cycle. We put a piece of black tape over it, leaving enough 'slack' so that the button could still be pressed/depressed adequately. Our kid still knows it's there, but we're slowly training him not to constantly press it (that would be impossible without the tape).
NO KIDS?
For adults without children, I would instead recommend diverting your $60 towards either a) introductory piano lessons, and/or b) paying someone (or a business) you know with a piano to let you "mess around" for a few hours. Do this in conjunction with a few introductory YouTube videos or beginner web articles. Since you have no need for a children's toy, spending that money on those experiences should guide you as to whether you should or should not purchase a more reasonable electronic piano, because those still cost several hundred dollars! (Search for and read "the wire cutter" article on "best budget piano," where their pick costs $400.) Then you won't have a piece of disappointing plastic and electronics which you'll simply donate once you become a more serious student.
And please never, ever gift a musical instrument (or a living plant!) to someone, even a child, unless you already have some confidence they will enjoy the gift.
Update: Almost one year later this keyboard has held up and works perfectly. I have upgraded to 5 stars for the simple fact that you get a great keyboard that does all a base keyboard should do at a phenomenal low price. Nothing has broken whatsoever. It is still in like new condition and gets used a lot.
August, 2021. Keyboard still doing great and my grandson, now 6 is very interested in it. Nothing has broken on it and it still does all functions. Turned out to be a great find.
