3.0 out of 5 stars Not all I thought it would be October 9, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
The piano itself is pretty neat and works with both the iPad and iPod, but the piano apprentice app that you have to download leaves a lot to be desired. I thought it would be more of a basic piano lesson, learning the notes one at a time then putting them together to form the song, but instead the song plays at full tempo and is hard to follow. Besides which, there are only 4 songs to learn.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and educational December 19, 2011
By L. K.
This is an excellent device! No, it won't turn you into a concert pianist, and it may not inspire a non-musician. But if you really want to add piano to your repertoire, it's an excellent way to start. Rather than spending hours playing Angry Birds, why not learn some chords, and learn to navigate your way around a keyboard? It sounds good and is portable. Good for kids (not too much money invested) as well as adults.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of fun! December 2, 2011
Personally I loved this unit its lots of fun, while it may not replace piano lessons its a great way to start.
Its a great activity for your family and is a very good investment in my mind. Its worth noting too this also works with any midi music app on the app store. So when you have learned all you can from the included app you can use it as a cool controller for your favorite music apps. All this for such a cheap price I think this is a great gift.

3.0 out of 5 stars Worth the fun of learning.
Unit really should of been one octave larger. To play some of the songs requires you to cross your left hand into the path of what your right hand is playing. Read more

The piano works great with the Piano Appentice app but there aren't enough lessons to be worth the purchase. I was hoping to use it in conjunction with Synthesia for the iPad. Read more

Small enough for me to play around with. It came just a described and the sound is good for me to practice without using a full keyboard.

1.0 out of 5 stars It doesn't work
You know there is something wrong when you open the package and all that falls out it a packet with legal disclaimers. No instructions, no power chord, and a horrible app.
