Se lo hemos regalado a mi hija, que quiere dar los primeros pasos en aprender a tocar y es completisimo. La relación calidad precio es incontestable. Con 300 tonos y 300 ritmos, mogollón de funciones, grabación y una elaboración muy cuidada, el teclado de Alesis es fantástico. El sonido es limpio y claro, no hay estatica electrica de fondo como en otras marcas baraturrias que parecen ofrecer de todo y luego la calidad es muy baja.Incluye un micrófono y salida para auriculares en la parte trasera para que hagas todo tipo de pruebas, con la posibilidad de grabar lo que has tocado y escucharte para perfeccionarlo después. Como digo son un montón de funciones de las que mi hija apenas ha rascado la superficie.Tanto para pequeños como para adultos que quieren empezar, el teclado de Alesis con sus 54 teclas es mas que suficiente incluso para la gente que ya saber tocar en condiciones.

Wasn't sure what to expect as hadn't heard of this brand before, but had watched reviews of the product on youtube. It has been great! Was a gift for 8 year old who plays on it daily. Great range of voices and rhythms. Microphone is a bit rubbish but keyboard itself is perfect for a beginner. Recommend.

Me encantó, fué el regalo para alguien de mi familia y quedó maravillada la persona con ello. Por el precio es un excelente teclado para principiantes y aprendices. Los materiales son de muy buena calidad, las bocinas suenan demasiado bien y con suficiente volumen, las teclas se sienten suaves y precisas. Llegó bien protegido y empacado. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.

It's a serious instrument than expected. So many functions. The sound is good. Only wish that the display is bigger.

The sound quality on this keyboard is so much better than I expected!I originally bought a RockJam 54 key keyboard - and returned it. The piano tones were pathetic and there was no weight to the keys. I guess if you're looking for a great tuba or bassoon sound, it might work for you, but I wanted a piano. Also, there were 300 rhythms, but only a few were actually useful, and they sounded tinny.This Alesis keyboard has useful and nice-sounding percussion rhythms, and the main piano tone sounds like an acoustic piano. This one's a keeper.

I have been playing a Casio keyboard and wanted to upgrade. I did to the Alesis Melody 54 and I'm very happy with it. It is easy to play, it has sustain on some of the sound selections, and there are many sounds; 300 actually, to use. You can plug an auxiliary speaker into it, although it does have two onboard speakers, which are quite adequate. And again, the sound is terrific. There are many sounds on there that I would equate to a more expensive keyboard such as a Korg or similar more high end instrument. So, there is a lot to like here and I am very happy with my Alesis Melody 54 purchase. I paid about 60 bucks with shipping all totalled. Super deal!!

This keyboard is a lot of fun with my son who is almost 2. However the musician in me feels let down with some of its limitations. Mainly no octave transpose buttons. The drum pads are terrible and can't handle fast tapping. Also the piano sound sounds sampled at one note then just tuned to each note with that sample making it sound terrible. However there are lots of fun sounds on this thing.For the price and being battery powered, my son loves it. Loves the tunes built in and also loves just having random drum tracks. For a musician this thing is limited.My review is a mix on the limitations this thing has for me, having been a professional musician, but also the fun my son has.5 stars for a toddler 1 star for a pro.

Now, I have seen the negative reviews as they are the first thing that I turn to. I used to own an Alesis QS8 which was a full 88 keys and fully weighted hammer type keyboard. It was built like a tank and felt like it weighed as much at 55 pounds. Even though it was classified as portable you really needed to have two people to move to a gig. I got rid of it for that reason alone as lighter keyboards came out. It was still a great keyboard when I sold it.This Alesis Melody 54 is nowhere near the QS8 but it serves the purpose that it was intended for. I have two other keyboards, a Yamaha Mod X7 and a Casio PX560. Both are decent in their own rights but are only middle of the road keyboard without the fully weighted hammer action. I bought the Melody 54 so that I could sit in front of the TV and if it was boring, I could practice fingering which is something that I lose if I don’t practice.The Alesis sound may be light sounding compared to either of my other keyboards but it only has enough polophony notes to create basic sounds with no real timber whereas my Casio has 256 polophony notes which can make any note sound richer. The Alesis Melody 54 still doesn’t sound as tinny as the video suggested but it is nowhere near as good a quality as either my Yamaha or Casio.Now, for the action, it has a synth action like my Yamaha but actually heavier, which means that you only have pressure and no little ‘kick’ feel to simulate a piano like my Casio. In case you are wondering why I have two keyboards is that it is easier to play organ and light sounding instruments like flute, trumpets, etc because of the smoother action on the Yamaha, plus I can have it set up and ready to go for certain songs. I am just a middle of the road musician and by no means promote any keyboard. I am just trying to set people straight on what to expect for a $70 keyboard.Also, my Melody 54 keyboard came undamaged and worked perfect right out of the box.If you want a decent hammer action keyboard, expect to pay a minimum of $2500 for something like a Kawaii MP11SE or a Korg. They have passed down some of their top of the line features to more basic models. I would be wary of pawn shop deals unless you have a friend that understands keyboards and pawnshops. Most people that I know or have known wouldn’t pawn a great instrument except as a last resort.If you want a good practice keyboard for learning, I feel that this is a good choice. You can always move up to a higher quality if things take off. I suggest asking online stores as they are usually helpful and not pushy. If you are lucky enough to have a local music dealer, most of them are helpful as well. In fact, you may be able to get this locally at the same price.

If you're like me where you suddenly had the urge to make use of your lockdown and the choice you made was to learn to play the piano but you are living on a budget....well my friend look no further.First of all the thing gets loud!! I had to default to using headphones when I practice. It has a lot of gizmos you can use to change the tone, the pitch, the octave etc. It's actually really lightweight. I was surprised at how easily I handled it. My only problem is some of the keys sound super similar... almost like they're the same towards the lower end of the piano. Also the keys aren't weighted so the intensity that you hit the keys with changes nothing but maybe your emotions. I'm no keyboard/piano aficionado so I'm not versed in the ins and outs of electric pianos but it seems pretty doggone good.
