Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2024
Only JUST found out about the existence of roll up & foldable pianos in 2024 & after watching a great review by a professional musician named Angelo comparing both. Opted for this between the 2 choices based on his arguments for it being logical & am extremely pleased but there’s a bunch of caveats. His reviews are extremely helpful.

I loaned out my very nice weighted keyboard to a family member as the problem w/it was it took up space, got dusty & also hurt my fingers as I tend to play fast pieces. My pianist friend tells me it’s my technique.. in any case, the keyboard took too much space.

The reason I would not recommend this for a child learning piano is weighted keys are important for learning expression but for myself my main goal is to learn finger placement for muscle memory. For that reason, one tone no pressure isn’t a problem for my needs.

The keys were less clackety than I expected as I was expecting FAR worse based on reviews I watched but they do make some noise. Also because there’s no tone I don’t pound them which helps lessen the clacking. The speaker is atrocious however but headphones or a speaker will alleviate this issue. I have it hooked up to my Apple Hi-Fi or Roland RH-A7 headphones & it sounds incomparably better than the speakers it comes with. You definitely want headphones or an external speaker.

I use an incredibly sturdy Rowenta ironing board to put the keyboard on. The ironing board is discontinued but recall the ad showing a gymnast doing a handstand on it.

The keyboard looks delicate, however I am INCREDIBLY cautious with my tools so am not too concerned with wear & again I also don’t hit these keys super hard because there is no point. This is just a tool for muscle memory for playing the real thing.

My only complaint is the black keys are too short & unfortunately most of the pieces
I want to play have 4 sharps or 4 flats… hand size and feet size is proportional & my hands although not tiny, get pretty cramped. Angelo’s review mentioned this but his hands are MUCH larger than mine & he says there’s just certain pieces he cannot play on this.

Usually I have hand span envy, but in this case happy for the lack of such. I play mostly Bach, Beethoven & Mozart & these pieces seem to work for this fantastic foldable piano. The foot pedal is meh, but you could probably substitute a full size pedal from what other reviewers have said?

All in all I LOVE THIS tool???? It’s the coolest invention ever & if they ever make the keys longer, will definitely buy that one too.

I’m sure there are more magnificent uses for people who compose music & record, but for myself those aren’t my primary goals so cannot speak intelligently to that.

If a child were to use this to learn on, I would want to make sure they also have access at least occasionally to a real piano as habits when learning are important. For myself though the weighted keys aren’t necessary & actually prefer it not to be as plastic hurts my fingers when going super speed;)

This portable keyboard is perfect for travel! My son and I are headed to Paris from the States and he must keep up on his piano skills, even while on vacation. This gem allows him to do just that. It fold perfectly so I can slip it in our carryon without issue or taking up extra space.

It’s not a ten grand baby piano, but it truly gets the job done in a pinch. The 88 keys are sensitive just enough for him to do his practice, without issues and the synthesizer features are sophisticated enough that he really unleashes his creativity and the midi connecting is so helpful for laying down tracks.

All the pre-programmed sounds are quite useful for making new songs. Plus, it can easily be connected to our laptop. And the battery gifts him eight whole hours of playing time. Yes, this gem can turn any hotel suite into a temporary music hall!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating folding keyboard, but too many trade offs for serious pianists
Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2022
Note: I’m not a serious pianist. I picked this up when it was deeply discounted because I like messing around and I wanted to have something that wouldn’t take up a lot of room in storage and that I could use as a midi controller.

Let’s start with the good stuff:

* This folding keyboard takes up almost no room when folded and it only weighs a few pounds. It feels a bit like a magic trick when you pull this full-size keyboard out of its bag.
* It offers full-width 88 keys just like a regular piano.
* The keyboard feels a bit better made due to the metal bottom plate than its price might suggest.
* The folding mechanism feels solid. All wires are carefully enclosed in strong, but flexible plastic. That isn’t likely to be a point of failure later, no matter how many times you fold or unfold it.
* 64-key polyphony means you could mash down 64 of the 88 keys all at once and they’d all play normally without being cut off. That’s pretty good for a piano of this price.
* The piano offers the full standard MIDI sound set, 128 sound samples.
* The internal battery lets you play for a good while before you need to recharge.
* There are built-in stereo speakers that are reasonably loud (but they’re not great sounding, so use the headphone-in jack).
* The included USB cable charges the keyboard and allows MIDI-via-USB, so it can be used as a MIDI controller for your favorite software.
* The piano includes a plastic sustain pedal.
* Built-in metronome and included note stickers for first-time players. (You have to manually apply the stickers if you want to use them.)
* The carrying bag is cloth and good quality with a snap closure. It is big enough for everything that ships with the piano with room left over for sheet music or headphones or whatever.

I don’t think this would be great for someone who is a serious pianist because there are a number of compromises:
* The keyboard sections do not lock together when unfolded, so you need to place the keyboard on a solid surface. I suppose this could be slightly positive if you need to play on a curved surface, but who does that and this keyboard won’t work with the typical keyboard stand that just has two or three bars that hold up the keyboard.
* The keyboard keys are full-width, but not full-length. This might throw off people used to playing a standard size keyboard. I will say that the ratio between the length of the black and white keys seems to remain the same as a standard piano.
* The black keys barely stick up above the white keys. They really should have increased the folded spacing between sections to allow for higher black keys.
* The key action tends to be noisy. Sort of like clicking on a mechanical keyboard (though that is a positive in one way because playing near the top of the key is just as easy and reliable as playing near the bottom).
* The built-in MIDI sound set is not the best I’ve ever heard.
* The sustain pedal uses a non-standard 3.5 mm headphone jack, so you’re stuck using the pedal that came with the unit. Also, the wire length could be a bit longer, though in most seated or standing setups it should be able to reach the floor.
* The speakers aren’t the best in terms of sound quality. Not terrible, but not great. Thankfully the headphone output is clean.
* Although the unit has something like 30 built-in demo songs, it has no recording memory. If you want to record, you need to use something external or the midi controller functionality.
* The USB charging/MIDI output cable is way too short. I wish it had a 6-foot cable at least. It is only 4 feet long, tip-to-tip.
* The keys aren’t velocity sensitive, so you won’t be able to vary the sound levels with the action of your hands.

All-in-all, if you need a self-contained midi controller that takes up very little room or if this is a purchase for a first time player, it’s not a bad choice, especially on sale. If you’re looking to have pro quality in a portable package, look elsewhere.

*** UPDATE 7/23/23: ***

I’ve been using this for about a year now and it has held up well so far. Overall battery life continues to be good (plus battery drain when in storage seems to be pretty good, too, the battery doesn’t drain too quickly when charged but not in use).

The unit itself has held up well to periodic playing. None of the keys are broken and all functions work. The included USB cable is still ok, but I don’t think it would hold up well if crimped tightly for an extended period of time. Mine is mostly tied up in the included bag. I don’t leave the keyboard plugged in. I definitely recommend getting yourself a longer cable if you’re going to use it plugged in regularly. 4 feet just doesn’t cut it in my opinion.

The speakers work ok, with no more distortion than normal and the headphone port continues to work well, with minimal hiss or distortion.

I didn’t use the stickers and they’ve been stored in climate controlled areas, and they still seem ok with plenty of stickiness.

The pedal still works, though mine doesn’t click when pressed as much as as it used to.

I stand by my original rating.
