Carry-on 88 Key White Portable Folding Digital Piano by Blackstar USB MIDI Controller with Rechargeable Battery

I am a Pianist/Musician that is looking to teach freelance and think this is a fantastic for any beginner/ Writer of music and to play for a basic accompany to sing along to or just for fun playing with the sounds and Rhythms. It is very light folds up into four coming with a easy to carry bag. Keyboard is rechargeable states 8 hours on one charge I have played it for 2 hours in one go. Sound not too good on their internal speakers but good enough if learning but can plug into portable speaker getting a much better sound and if plugged into a professional speaker sound is very good. Keys not feel like a normal piano but perfect for a beginner to get started for about a year and upgrade later. I like the portability as can take to other places to teach or play if no Piano available as I took it to work and played it at work as they knew I played but had never heard me play as could not take my Piano from home. I'm sure others could take it to there friends to play it for fun or to learn it professionally. Also Piano is a space saver for the house due to it foldability which I am sure lots will like where do you see you storing yours. It is basic but we all got to start from somewhere and if you want to be able to take it to other friends and possibly work colleagues to have fun with or just want if for yourself at home I recommend the Carry on 88 Keys Portable Folding Digital Piano

I am reviewing this PIANO keyboard as a basic learnerI am learning how to play the piano with apps, and I needed one of these for when I'm away from home or on my travels.Very handy for practice anywhereCan sit on your lap convenientlyIt is rechargeable and seems to have a large battery which lasts for a reasonably long timeThis one comes handy becauseIt's portableIt's extremely light (1KG)Very compact ThinThe Piano folds down into 2 and has magnets at each edge to keep it from flipping when closedIt does not come with a case or bag.I purchased the following case/bag on Amazon for it, and it fits Perfectly well (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07Q2TTB75/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)When connected to MIDI I have not had any issues with the keys not being recognised by Apps such as Flowkey & YousicanThe downside to this: When Plugged in with my Android Phone or Tablet for MIDI functionality, because it uses the same USB port for charging and MIDI output, it charges the PIANO battery - which draws power from my phone and tablet - hence the 4 starsSo I tend not to use the MIDI functionalityMy devices' microphone recognises the piano keys without any issuesThe sound quality is not the best but acceptable for what I need it forThe hinges seem fragileBut I still highly recommend this for a piano learner or for its portability

My order went missing and was refunded by amazon, i purchased locally.So i bought this item because i work on a ship and wanted something small and portable. This definitely fits the bill .The sound quality is lacking however when plugged into a decent speaker it offers a far better experience. The 3.5mm connector comes in handy to put through any speaker.The playablilty is very good, you can depress multiple keys simultaneously and not lose the quality however the keys have no pressure sensitivity so its a case of note at full volume of no note at all.The Piano folds down into a very transportable size and the bag offers a nice way to transport it however i have kept the box which is far better and has a carry handle.overall a really good item for the price, it has been really useful during the lockdown and is ideal for someone looking to learn with restrictions for space. The piano is really sturdy and the components are all very good quality.

The media could not be loaded. A full-sized folding keyboard is an excellent concept when everyone's got a smartphone nowadays. By the look of it, this keyboard is minimalist and elegant. The sound quality is OK, and you can easily plug in an external synthesiser or speaker to augment the quality. That's not the problem.What was slightly annoying is the noise from pressing the keys - in the recorded video, it sounds like a typewriter. But if you are going to use it as a MIDI controller, this is not an issue either.The reason I returned the keyboard eventually was that I had to connect to a power source all the time when I plug it in with my iPhone. Because it uses the same USB port for charging and MIDI output, whenever it's connected to a phone or a computer, it charges the battery - which draws way too much power for a mobile phone - and iPhone does not like that for a good reason. Yes, you can use a lightning adapter with an external power supply to solve the problem, but it limits the mobility of this keyboard greatly. Ironically, on the manual, it even says "don't use your keyboard while charging, as it may reduce the battery life". If only they made it possible to use it as a MIDI keyboard while NOT charging, this product could be so much better.For the same price, I eventually got a Korg MicroKey 49 - has fewer keys, does not have built-in speakers, but offers much better quality with velocity sensitiveness, is still reasonably portable, and works perfectly with smartphones.

Great product if you love pink, and need portability for travel, and to use for additional practice alongside use of a static weighted key piano. Light, folds up so small enough you would not know you were carrying a keyboard. Can be set up quickly and played anywhere - ours has been tested on a table, floor, sofa, bed. Good range of sound effects, keys are light, and metronome used to support practice.

Bad quality, not a midi keyboard, it's an electric keyboard with midi sounds. Constantly rattling, doesn't sit flat and keys are too small, black keys sit almost flush with white keys and both are too short. Can't be played properly and is not a midi keyboard as advertised. It's a gimmick at best, nothing more
