1.0 out of 5 stars Junk!, January 25, 2010

Don't buy this junk. Seriously.

I play piano and I thought, how cool it would be to have a roll up keyboard I could travel and practice with.

Forget about it. It is almost impossible to play anything except for plinking songs on this junk. Sometimes the keys work, sometimes they don't. Most of them you have to press so hard, you are pounding on the thing.

It is like a martial arts finger pounding excercise!!!

We got this for my 7 year old daughter so that she could still play/practice piano when we are away from home. She loves it! It works really well and it's nice that it has several octaves rather than the one or two with most electronic (toy) keyboards. It needs a flat surface underneath (does not work well on carpet) so a table is best. Of course it is different from a piano with raised keys, so you have to sort of "bounce" your fingers on the keys rather than press down a "real" key, but that's not a big deal. It comes with an adapter, which is great because you don't have to worry about changing batteries or not having them with you when traveling.

The only complaint I would make is that there is not a good way or enough room to store the adapter cord in the travel bag. We still shove it in there, but I don't want the plug prongs to scratch or tear the keyboard, so we always put the cord in a small pouch first. If not for that, I would have given this product 5 stars. It would also be a good idea for them (or someone) to create a portable or folding table or stand for it, if they haven't already.

As a singer, I have looked high and low for a small keyboard (with a headphone jack, usually the deal-breaker) that I could store under my desk at my day job. This piano is perfect for me, as I can shut my door and roll the piano across my desk, and with only a few AA batteries I can avoid the mess of AC-adapter cords across my desk. The sound is better than I expected - I wish the piano had a little more sustain - but don't expect to see people gigging out at clubs with this thing. You need a firm surface to press on, so you can't take it just anywhere, but just about anywhere. This is a neat product, and I suspect that the next generation in this line will be even better.
