MUSTAR Piano Keyboard, MEKS-500 61 Key Learning Keyboard Piano with Lighted Up Keys, Electric Piano Keyboard for Beginners, Stand, Sustain Pedal, Headphones/Microphone, USB Midi, Built-in Speakers

My 5-year-old grandson has autism. So far, he is non-verbal. On top of that, neither one of his parents could carry a tune in a bucket. It is hard to keep him occupied in a positive way, especially when the weather is harsh. When his teacher started to play piano and tried to get the kids to sing, my grandson became very engaged. So, with his parents' permission, I bought this keyboard for him.It was inexpensive (I got it on a Black Friday special) and seemed to have all of the features that other well-reviewed keyboards had. I wanted it to have full-sized keys in case he ever transfers to a "real" piano, and it's really not necessary for a small child to have 88 keys.He LOVES it. It didn't come with a stand, which seemed wise to me anyway, given the likelihood that it could get tipped over by an exuberant 5-year-old. It sits on the kitchen table, the perfect height. He knows how to turn it on and, judging from the sounds in another room, is on his way to performing Jerry Lee Lewis level musical gymnastics.I don't know if there is a setting to change this, the only drawback, is that when the keyboard is turned on, it automatically reverts to a high-volume setting. It would be nice to have a quieter default.He has had it since early December and still turns it on and occupies himself with the keyboard without being cajoled into doing so. I'm thrilled. Even his parents, who have to listen to it all the time, are delighted that we've discovered an interactive, creative outlet for this very active, often frustrated child.Before he had the keyboard, my grandson was disinterested in the acoustic piano in my house, even though I tried periodically to interest him in playing. Now, when he comes to the house, he bangs away on that one, too, even though the keys don't light up.From an adult perspective, I also have to say that it has an impressive number of "voices", though they aren't necessarily accurate portrayals of the various instruments. It is a major upgrade, but for the long term, the next level would be a keyboard that has touch-sensitive keys, where hitting the key harder would create a louder sound (like a real piano). But for a beginner, this is swell.

What I like is that it has a clear, deep and authentic piano sound. Its easy to setup and easy to use; it does have a little learning curve so please read the manual if you wish to experiment with different instrument sounds. Its versatile as its wonderful for beginner as the keys light up and its LCD screen displays the notes as you play them. If you are an advance player and song writer you can record and play back your compositions and its has a midi feature that you can use with any recording software as it allows you to record tracks and compose your own sounds or simply keep tabs on your progress if you are a beginner. This is a good quality piano keyboard, you won't feel like you need to hurry and purchase another expensive one anytime soon. This piano keyboard has many features to keep you occupied, you can accompanied with other instrument sounds, blend melodies or transition to orchestra or be a solo piano player if you wish; it can even sound like a band at times, so if you like versatility this is definitely the instrument for you; it has met all those requirements and more. Its made from good quality material and and has a high quality sound; I think it will last for a longtime and for the price point of $150.00 Its a decision I have not regretted.

I was able to track my product and it was delivered on time,very happy,value for my money,easy to assemble.Thank you Amazon.

My daughter loves it she's 13 yrs old awesome for a beginner.

My granddaughter loved the item

The keys light up and it sounds good. I still have to figure out how to get it to play other songs for the light up play along mode but thats a quick lookup. The thing I loved is that it came with clear stickers to put on the keys with the notes and where they appear on the music staff (I've had several keyboards and none had those stickers included, always had to buy seperately, so the fact that this one came with them was a very pleasant surprise and stood out as an excellent bonus).

The one i got was amazing the packaging was good it came in on time this was really easy to assemble but 4-5 days later the keys started to not work no sound would come out of it.

Me encantó
