Great beginning keyboard set for kids

Very happy with this keyboard bundle. Bought it so my seven year old could practice at home between piano lessons. Extremely affordable as it comes with the stand and seat, too. Not sure as an adult if I would want to use the bench too often but it works for my daughter just fine. Also don't expect to be able to use it in batteries only - seems to use them up very quickly. Long tern it may not hold up to kids being too rough with it but as long as the user is gentle I'm sure it will be fine. All in all a great starter set - especially if you are on a budget!

Incredibly low quality

I've had it 3 weeks. I bought it to learn to play the boogie woogie. The headphones only work on 1 ear, and the cord is insanely short. The microphone worked for maybe an hour. The accessories are the cheapest things you can imagine, you can guarantee they all break within 30 days. The keyboard wasn't bad, until today when it will nly play over headphones now. So basically everything is broken in a total of around 10 hours of play. It might be tempting to buy because it's a package. However, you're better off buying a different keyboard and stand.

    I bought four of these keyboards for a music studio a year and a half maybe two years ago. We ended up not needing them right away, so I kept them stored in their boxes. I finally needed one, took it out and the speaker popped and stopped working after about five minutes and the sound quality was scratchy the whole time when it worked. I thought it was very strange, so I pulled out another one. Same issue happened after a minute. They were completely unused. The other two I don't even want to pull out, I'm ready to just throw them in the garbage. So yeah, they were sitting for a while, but I can't imagine them lasted very long regardless, considering the circumstance. Kicking myself for not returning them when I didn't have use for them, knowing what I know now.

  • No, I will not buy.

    Decent enough for little Jimmy, or Suzie to experiment on , but light years away from pro needs. Buy foreign junk, and you will own foreign junk ! It will sound like foreign junk. It will play like foreign junk. It will have the re sale value of foreign junk. BUY THE BEST YOU CAN AFFORD. This is foreign junk !

    It took no time to set-up. Found no defects in the product other than the microphone, but I don't use it anyway. Read the comments before buying. Some reviews legitimate but one really I'm an adult and completely able to use the seat.

    Purchased for my son's birthday. Was very excited, we noticed a gap between two keys. When we called to return it, they were out of the keyboard and said a refund would take a week. I'm not very happy about that.
