    5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect student keyboard
    Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2024
    This is definitely NOT a performance keyboard. It doesn't even have a pedal jack. That said, that makes it perfect for learning. It's simple, straight forward, and keeps students from deciding they're going to play nothing but the latest pop diva tunes the whole class time. It's relatively low cost, adaptor/battery power choice, and light weight makes it a perfect traveling instrument.

    Bought for my son as an introduction to music reading and playing. For the price, the set-up and performance of the equipment is excellent.

    It took about 5 minutes to set up and includes a wall outlet and battery support. The bench is also fairly sturdy, able to support at least 270 lbs.

    Space-wise, it takes up about 3 square feet when set up, but can be collapsed easily to be put away as needed.

    This instrument works very well for what it’s used for! Not too big and bulky and not too small either. It doesn’t have the teaching feature for beginners as some do but my son just looked up some he wanted to learn online and learned from the video within the hour. Her only confusing thing we experienced was the plug. We thought we had to get a converting piece but the product actually came with all necessities, the part fell out upon unboxing. The stand and stool seem to be made well and sturdy. Really good bundle, I would definitely recommend!

    4.0 out of 5 stars A Fine Keyboard -- For the Money
    Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2020
    We had an antique upright piano in our home when I was a kid. It was a family heirloom, having previously belonged to the family's Favorite Uncle, and left to us when he passed. I plunked on it from time to time, but never got serious about learning to play it. I had other homework to do and the local woods to explore.

    I recently acquired a book of a favorite author's (Tolkien) poems set to music. There was one song in particular that I wanted to sing, but my sight-reading skills are not what they once were, so I needed a keyboard's assistance to help me learn the song. Hence with my purchasing this Alesis Melody 61.

    I like the size of the keyboard. With only 61 of a piano's usual 88 keys, it fits nicely into an available spot in my living room, without my having to significantly rearrange my furniture. For most purposes, 5 octaves of keys is sufficient. It was easy to assemble, and I had it up and ready to play in just a few minutes after opening the box. I was able to play through several exercises in the piano lessons books I also purchased, and to fumble through the Hymn to Varda section of "I Sit Beside the Fire" from my Tolkien book. I had a nice feeling of accomplishment by the end of the evening.

    There are a few areas where there is room for improvement. They keys are a bit stiff, and require more strength to strike and hold than does an actual piano, which can be a bit frustrating. They are also not sensitive to the amount of force used, so the volume the keyboard produces remains the same whether you are lightly pressing or vigorously pounding the keys. Playing dynamic changes in a piece of music is impossible with this keyboard. The tones the keyboard plays are distinctly artificial, too flat and robotic with that harsh, square digital edge common in auto-tuned vocals; it is lacking the analog warmth of an actual piano.

    The bottom line is that is this a $120 keyboard. It is completely sufficient for learning basic keyboard techniques or plunking out a line of notes to learn the melody of a song from a sheet of music. If you're looking to learn how to play piano, this will get you 80% of the way there. Dynamic control (changing the loudness/softness of the music) is an important part of that skill, though, and you will not learn it with this keyboard. You will also not produce beautiful music with this keyboard, because of the lack of dynamics and the quality of the tones. This is a fine, inexpensive first keyboard to use while figuring out if you want to make the investment in something more "serious". Just don't expect that you're going to use it for your debut at Carnegie Hall!

    Good deal on this since it comes with a stand and seat. We don't use the microphone really but it's cool they include one. Great keyboard for our kids to practice with!

    Very easy to set up and easy to start playing. It has many functions that I have not yet played with. I bought this for my 88 years old mother with dementia and she is really enjoying hitting random keys and hearing some music coming out. I can say it is a great gift for children and elderly. I let the musical people be the judge of it for experts.
