4.0 out of 5 stars Great for the money, but needs lower volume level setting., September 10, 2006

By	lighten_up_already2 "lighten_up_already2" (Kirkland, WA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

For just a little more than a toy keyboard you can get something that really works. This keyboard can do up to four notes at once, so children can learn about both chords and melodies. The sound quality is better than I expected considering the price, and it run on nice cheap AA batteries that can be bought in bulk. Battery changing is easy.

The one downside is that the lowest volume level isn't all that low. It's impossible to just play this quitely at a volume level low enough so that only the one playing can hear. Also, it comes with a microphone, and when that is plugged in, the sound can be heard all over the house with the volume set to it's lowest level.

So, it's a nice way to introduce children to music, but it's a loud way because it doesn't allow a truly low volume setting.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad for the price. . . , February 26, 2006

By	Godzilla's Ottoman - See all my reviews

This keyboard is just a decent noise-maker for kids. I bought it so I would have a portable musical reference for a college music theory course.

Two complaints, one small, one huge:

No big deal, but the "tones" you can select from sound pretty weak, although there are a bunch to choose from so it's not hard to find something that sounds okay.

But it really irks me that you can't play more than four keys at the same time! If you have any experience with the piano you're going to find this shortcoming completely unacceptable.

Two bits of praise:

There is a digital display showing both the treble and bass clef staves. When you hit a key the display shows you where the pitch falls on the staves. Ingenious! Perfect for beginners just learning.

Very lightweight and portable.

Conclusion: Great for kids, but don't even think about it if you have been playing for any amount of time.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is great!, June 20, 2006

By	Zenitharmon (USA) - See all my reviews

The Product Description recommends this for, "the young or beginning musician". I can also recommend it for a female singer who is NOT a pianist.

I wanted a small, lightweight keyboard just to learn vocal parts. This is perfect. The keys are too short for a man's hands and take a bit of getting used to, but the stated 4 1/2 pound weight is well worth it.

I love it!
