Product description
This listing features a Alesis Recital 88-Key Beginner Digital Piano W/ Full-Size Semi-Weighted Keys New. Item Specifics: for a great beginner digital piano 88 full-sized, semi-weighted keys with built-in speakers Free $30 value with included power adapter Standard, Split, Layer, and Lesson modes with 128 max polyphony The Alesis Recital is a full-featured digital piano with the features to make it easy to learn, teach, and perform at any level. The 88 full-sized semi-weighted keys include adjustable sensitivity to fit your playing style, with built-in speakers and effects, so you're ready to start playing right out of the box. Recital includes a power adapter, so you can plug it into the wall and play all day, but it also can go mobile running on six of your own D cell batteries. Where the Recital really sets itself apart is with its teaching tools. In addition to Split mode for different keyboard voices on the left and right sides, a Lesson mode separates the keyboard into two areas with the same pitch and voice. That means a student can sit next to their teacher with both playing the same notes, for a simpler learning experience. But what about when an instructor isn't available? Recital is compatible with Skoove, an online piano-instruction service. Skoove listens to your performance to give real-time feedback, with adjustable tempo settings to match your skill level. Better yet, Recital isn't just compatible with the standard Skoove. Finally, when you know you're a virtuoso, the Recital has a sustain pedal input, USB-MIDI connectivity, and RCA stereo output, so you can expand your keyboard's capabilities to meet your own. The Alesis Recital is everything you need to get from fumbling in your living room to finessing up on stage.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Many reviewers complained that the sound volume becomes vary quiet, and after minimal use of the keyboard. It seemed we were also unlucky, since all of a sudden the kids told me it was very quiet - even with the volume dial turned to max. I tried every button, and even went so far as to enter a bad review here on Amazon.
But looking more into the user manual, there are MANY adjustable settings on this keyboard! In fact, there are nearly 88 settings - one for each key on the keyboard! Look closely at the Advanced Settings, and there are at least three different adjustments to volume. Somehow, the kids must have accidentally set those to low. 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.
So, I have had this piano now for close to 6 months and couldn't be happier. Just the starter piano you would give a child to get them started. Sound quality and volume is fantastic. Only gripe so far has been that keys aren't as well weighted but for the price, that is easy to overlook.
I noticed that several reviewers have issues with the volume and have returned the piano because it wasn't loud enough and Alesis is to sorely blame for that. Turns out that the Piano has 5 different volume levels and:
1. The default Factory settings are not set at the 'loudest'.
2. It is easy to set the volume to a different level unknowingly (If you enter Advanced Functions mode inadvertently/ younger kids do that when playing with the keys, pressing the middle C (the most frequently used keys) will put the piano to its lowest volume level.)
Here are the steps to get the Piano into its loudest volume level
1. Press the Metronome and Lesson keys simultaneously to enter Advanced Functions mode. The two keys should light up.
2. Press the E3 Key once. It should make click sound (it won't play the instrument) sound.
3. Press the Metronome and Lesson keys simultaneously again to exit Advanced Functions mode.
4. Your piano should be set to the loudest volume now.
Do try these steps before you consider returning this piano. Its a nifty little instrument, the Alesis!
==========================
I was looking around for a good piano for my 5 year old daughter to practice at home as she has just started with Piano lessons. My 2 other shortlists were the Yamaha P71 ($399) and the Casio Previa PX 160 ($499). Ultimately, decided on the Alesis based on the reviews and espeically the price as it was less than half the cost of the other 2. My thinking was that once she develops some skill at playing and retains her interest in learning the piano, we could always upgrade to a better one.
Once I got the piano, I couldn't be happier. What I really liked was:
1. Good sound, especially for the Piano.
2. Semi-weighted keys offer good feel and volume response.
3. Very light and easy to cart around
4. Included Power adapter.
5. And of course, the price for a full 88-Key Piano - you can't beat that.
Things that I feel could be improved are:
1. Volume - one needs to keep the volume control at around 75% to 80% of the max volume setting to get decent sound.
2. It has a ton of features that can be customized, like Tempo, Metronome, Metronome Volume, etc. but all of these need to be accessed using a combination of Piano keys. Very difficult to remember and I find myself opening the user manual every now and then.

I am a professional pianist and wanted this to use in my retirement home concerts! IT’S AWESOME!!
I normally don’t write reviews but I am so happy with this piano.
The sound is excellent! It’s the lightest piano on the market to my knowledge. Not a tinny sounding piano.
I am a Yamaha fan, however in this category, Yamaha has their Piaggero line, which I also own. This Recital is so much nicer!! Also, it’s 88 keys!
I’ve not had ANY problems with this piano. I have played it well over 150 hours and I LOVE it!! I will be ordering another because I would be lost without it, in the event something happened to this incredible piano!!
I HIGHLY recommend it!! Sure, the more expensive and heavier keyboards will might sound better but if you’re looking in this price range, or looking for portability, this is the one to get! While it sounds great with the built in speakers, when playing bigger venues, I plug it into my Roland cube monitor and it sounds superb! If I was to play at a large church, I could use this but would probably use my Yamaha P-15 simply because the keys are wighted better than this one since this is semi weighted but still plays fantastic and the touch is great!
It fits perfectly in my 76 keyboard gig bag!
The reviews about the volume going down has simply not happened to me! Please don’t let negative reviews keep you from trying this keyboard!
I’m more than HAPPY with my purchase!! I would give 100 stars if I could!! Especially, for this price of only $209.99 and its weight and sound!
The only suggestion would be for Alesis to make a longer power cord but I just bought me a 3ft extension cord and it works great!!
Top reviews from other countries
Having only played a real piano before, I was surprised how similar this is as I was concerned it would feel like playing a keyboard. Having gotten used to this, switching back to playing a real piano took about 10 minutes to get the swing of again. I usually use headphones to practise but it has a decent sound on its own too. This has been great for getting up to speed again but I suspect I'll want to upgrade in the next few years to a fully-weighted digital piano with a better sound. I really like the ability to connect it up to the computer, but I got bored with Skoove pretty quickly.
A couple of recommendations as I had to do a bit of work to find the accessories etc:
- I bought this stand and it fits fine https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000LUFTWS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_dp_T2_tYFCzb3BPDTBK
- You will probably want a sustain pedal, I got this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00IOEQQTS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
- You will need a converter if you want to use normal headphones with a 3mm jack; I got this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0086P5F4M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_dp_T2_h0FCzbK79V83M
- If you want to learn to play chords so you can accompany and play songs by ear (rather than reading music which, despite reaching grade 6, I was always rubbish at) then this book is awesome https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0571539025/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
As an 88-key digital piano, it certainly is that, however, not without it's faults.
But first, the positives:
- relatively cheap
- full of adjustable features such as adjusting the touch responsiveness, transposing the keys, etc (See manual for more info)
- good for beginners
And that's about it.
The negatives by far outweigh the above:
- The piano is described as semi-weighted. This is not true. They do provide a (slightly) stronger resistance that you would fine from a toy/cheap keyboard, however, the keys have nowhere near weight to be considered semi-weighted.
- The key to a successful digital piano is for it to produce a similar auditory experience you find with a real acoustic grand piano. In the world of digital pianos, this is achieved by a process called sampling, where a real piano's sound is recorded onto the digital piano for replication. However, the replicated sound on the Alesis is not at all as a piano would sound. It's noticeably lacking in depth.
- The above point prompted me to test the sound through headphones instead of the built-in speakers. This only uncovered yet a deeper problem. There is a lot of feedback noise from the piano once the headphones are plugged in; there is an almost constant beeping.
Why you should buy this product?
If you're desperate to try an 88-key piano on a tight budget.
Why you shouldn't buy this product?
For it's price, you can find alternatives that would be more satisfying (I exchanged my Alesis for a Casio CDP-130 [88-keys, 48 note polyphony (edit: the Alesis has 128), fully-weighted, approx. same price, etc.])
I would strongly recommend staying clear from this digital piano as it is simply not up to standards it ought to be.
For a light weight option, with not too many accessories, and semi weighted keys and a good price I recommend.
It's not perfect, list of Cons below:
Some keys are marginally slightly closer together than others.
The music stand has a massive open back so anything less than A4 stood upright will not fit, including tablets. The answer to this is to slide the base of the music stand higher but then you end up reading your music higher up than you'd like.
The stand also wobbles somewhat when really hitting them keys, so much that my tablet sometimes changes screen orientation because it moves. This is only when you're really playing or trying to type on the tablet whilst one the stand (very high up on the stand)
Although the keys are semi weights I cannot tell the difference in pressure from high to low, I believe they are all the same weight.
And it has no AUX for headphone/silent play which I thought it came with after watching a video review online but this could have been the pro.
And if you want to be really fussy takes a good few seconds from holding the ON/OFF button before turning On or Off.
If you can handle the above then its a great keyboard.
Simple d'utilisation, ce clavier ne comporte seulement que quelques fonctions de base permettant de se concentrer pleinement sur l'apprentissage pur du piano, bien que l'absence de violon ou le chant d'église rend le layering bien moins intéressant dans son cas. Livré avec le strict nécessaire, c'est à dire son chargeur et support pour partitions, il vous faudra cependant investir dans un adaptateur jack de 3,5mm si vous souhaitez pouvoir jouer en utilisant un casque ou des écouteurs. Ses touches semi-lestées ont pour moi débutante, un rendu réaliste avec une certaine lourdeur et une bonne résistance sous les doigts qui demande plus de force comme un vrai piano acoustique. Les 3 mois Skooze offerts sont également un gros plus pour celles et ceux qui désiraient être autodidactes et auraient besoin d'une aide dans leur apprentissage. De plus, son poids le rend facile à transporter si toutefois vous devriez l'emporter pour des cours ou des répétitions, sans compter le fait que vous pouvez y mettre des piles à défaut d'utiliser le chargeur pour vous procurer une certaine autonomie.
Pour résumer, la réputation de L'Alesis Récital n'est plus à faire. C'est un excellent clavier pour commencer qui saura, je pense, vous satisfaire même sur le long terme après quelques années d'expérience. Cependant, le meilleur restera tout de même de pouvoir tester l'instrument sur place pour s'assurer de son choix car cela restera toujours une question de goût.
