    • Excelent for being my first keyboard
    • Overall I would recommend this piano brand for those beginners who are looking for a good quality keyboard, without spending too much money.
    • I tried to love this keyboard two times, but this is not the keyboard you, or they, think it is.
    • Once I went through the steps to max-out the volume settings, the keyboard is once again very nice!I rate it as 4 stars because it's overall very good, but use of those advanced settings it confusing.
    • It's a good quality keyboard and the sound is amazing although I don't have and other equipment to compare it to
    • I really like the the split keyboard which allows two people to play the same notes simultaneously
    • sound is not better than my cheap yamaha keyboard

    • Great beginner keyboard
    • There are also a metronome feature and a "split keyboard" feature so that a student and teacher can play simultaneously

    • I have just began playing piano and wanted a good starter keyboard to see how I took to it
    • The build quality is not as good as a more expensive keyboard (don't drop it!), but for fun and for learning it is a great keyboard and a great value.
    • Although the keys feel like they have a little more weight than a cheaper keyboard, the keys pop back up quickly just like on a cheaper keyboard
    • Having the full keyboard is beneficial for piano practice.
    • Great keyboard
    • I probably wouldn't routinely gig with this, but for a learner or a not so great keyboard guy like me, it's ab fab.

    • OVERALL: I can't recommend this keyboard enough

    • It's such a beautiful keyboard that worked well until this problem happened
    • As other reviewers have indicated, this is a good keyboard for someone who wants to have a piano to practice on and learn the instrument
    • Definitely springs in the plastic keys, but they're not *that* bad, say, a sub-$100 61-key keyboard.
    • Still a good keyboard, just wish they keys were a bit more weighted, but that's an extra $
    • pretty good for the price, the keyboards are easy to press down, glad to have it:)

    • Great keyboard for not as much
    • A great keyboard on a budget
    • the sound is alright, you don't get the depth of sound that you would get from a piano or a fancier keyboard and you can certainly tell it's a keyboard when you hear it.
    • The demo is super loud, especially when plugged into the amplifier, but the keyboard is very quiet
    • I therefore can NOT recommend this keyboard, not once but twice
    • This is a very nice keyboard, but when it arrived the box had holes in it and one of the speakers has a huge dent in it
    • All in all it's a great keyboard, and I highly recommend it!

    • Our family is really enjoying this keyboard... working great for my daughters piano lessons...the only thing I would change is that the volume was a little louder when on max
    • This is the perfect keyboard for any beginner piano players
    • What a great keyboard, soundslike the real thing
    • This is a great keyboard with keys the same size as a regular piano so you won't miss the spacing when you practice when you practice on a real piano when you were young.
    • But aside from the included lessons and teaching mode this is a keyboard usable for years after the initial beginners stage.
    • Have had this keyboard for a few weeks, and really like it.

    • I researched online and came across the following:Performing a factory reset on your keyboard: To do this, hold the Reverb and Chorus buttons while powering on the Recital.(As a result the following parameters will be reset to their default values: Reverb, Chorus,Metronome Tempo, Metronome Time Signature, Metronome Volume, Upper Volume, Lower Volume, Split Volume, Split Point, MIDI Channel, Touch Sensitivity, and Auto Power Off.)All in all, we really like the keyboard
    • Great keyboard.
    • A keyboard full of buttons and sounds is a distraction to most kids
    • Still, my daughter is without her keyboard and unable to practice her lesson's for who knows how long.
    • If you want a nice, basic and fine sounding keyboard, this fits the bill.
    • Smaller keyboards with only 66 keys get annoying because so many keys are missing.
    • Great beginners keyboard.
    • This keyboard works perfectly for me, sounds fine, plays good

    • But the keys don't feel much better than my inexpensive Casio keyboard from Costco
    • This is a great keyboard for beginners and instructors

    • While we like the keyboard, we are not happy about the damage.
    • Wish that I had checked Craig's list for a better quality keyboard or piano

    • Sure, the more expensive and heavier keyboards will might sound
    • There is a feature for instructors where you can split the keyboard into two 44 key sections so that each of you can play together on the same octaves
    • I am very pleased and think this keyboard will suit her well for several years
    • I'm teaching myself how to play piano for the first time and I love this keyboard

    • I wouldn't recommend taking the risk of purchasing this keyboard and having the same volume issue happen until some sort of manufacturing solution is found.
    • I really like this keyboard
    • Perfect keyboard for my 8 year old daughter to practice on
    • This keyboard is perfect.
    • a five star product however:- B and C keys make an unusually loud clicking sound when playing but none of the other keys seem to do it except for B and C.- Limited effects for customizing sound, tone, tracks,
    • I gotta say, it's incredibly decent, and I'm grateful it's as affordable as it was for the quality it has.
    • And apparently all of his friends do as well as
