NikoMaku Piano Keyboard 88 Keys Folding Electric Keyboard Portable Digital Piano Semi Weighted Full Size KeysBluetooth MIDI with Sustain Pedal, Headphones SWANX V2.0 Black

This product really meets the expectations. It is light, easy to set up and when it is folded it fits perfect in the bag which is practical to carry around. Of course it does not sound as a Steinway piano but it does have 88 keys and had a sustain pedal. It works for its purpose.

I recently purchased the NikoMaku Digital Piano 88 Keys Foldable Portable Piano Keyboard, and it has met my expectations well. This piano keyboard is highly convenient for anyone who needs to practice while traveling. Due to my work obligations I travel often, and that piano allows me to practice on-the-go. It is perfect to take on vacation trip, when one may have a lot of time which could be dedicated to work on the favorite piece or for practice of scales and etiudes.The foldable design makes it easy to pack and carry, which is particularly useful for trips and on-the-go practice sessions. The semi-weighted, touch-sensitive keys provide a decent playing experience that feels reasonably close to a traditional piano.The sound quality is satisfactory, with 128 rhythms and tones offering a good range of options for different musical styles. Whether you're practicing classical pieces or exploring modern genres, this keyboard performs reliably.Overall, the NikoMaku Digital Piano is a solid choice for musicians seeking a portable, quality instrument. It's suitable for maintaining practice routines wherever you are, and the ease of transport makes it a practical travel companion.

It is great for travel. As for sound and key touch, not so great. Have to take this on a flight, so the foldable feature is really nice.

This keyboard comes with a nice case, a charging cable, a music stand, a sustain pedal, some guide stickers for the keys, and a decent pair of headphones. It folds up and travels very easily as others have said, making it ideal for people on the go who don’t want to miss a day of practice. It packs and unpacks very quickly, and it weighs less than 10 pounds, so it’s very portable.The inbuilt speakers are sufficient for practicing, though earphones help significantly. Additionally, there is Bluetooth connectivity that may improve the quality a bit.This isn’t the ideal gigging instrument. The sound samples are what you’d expect from a $170 instrument – certainly not professional-level, but entirely sufficient for practice at home and on the road. There are some nice simulations of sympathetic resonance when the sustain pedal is depressed, which pleasantly surprised me a little at this price point. The best tones are probably the Acoustic Piano, the Rhodes, and the Church Organ. The others are certainly fun to toy with or to use while composing on the road, but probably not sufficient for any kind of serious practice.There are some other great features that make this instrument competitive to practice: the keys are weighted and textured. They are touch-sensitive, with I think 4 levels of sensitivity. The touch-sensitive features aren’t perfect; quick dynamic changes don’t respond as quickly as they possibly could, but at this price point, I think it’s nice to have any touch-sensitivity at all. The action on the instrument is surprisingly decent. It doesn’t give a noticeable lag, and in a few quick tests, the keys don’t give much bounce. That’s a feature that I wish could be found on some much more expensive digital pianos! The battery life is quite good – I played about 4 hours yesterday without looking for an outlet, and the charger (also included) is USB-C, so very easy to replace if necessary. The recording feature works well for listening back to your practice and/or playing duets with yourself.The polyphony on this instrument seems quite good. I haven’t pushed it to its limits yet, but I tested 22-key polyphony over a recording of another 22 keys and it seemed to work well without slowing the processor down.I haven’t tested the MIDI controller features, but I imagine that just extends the usability of this instrument even further.There is an inbuilt metronome. I’m finding it a challenge to adjust the tempo from the default 120BPM, and to be honest the manual is very short and reads like it was passed through Google Translate, so I’ve just carried an external metronome with me so far. There’s still much more to explore.Overall, I think this instrument has a lot of positive features for the price. It’s great if you are trying to decide whether piano is right for you and aren’t ready to commit to a more expensive instrument, are just starting to get back into playing on a budget, or especially if you want an instrument to practice when you’re traveling. At the price, it could be a great instrument to introduce kids to piano as well.

I'm a professional pianist, with a Steinway at home. I also do film scoring, and was looking for a keyboard I can fly with. (The 88 key folding keyboard is like $10 more than 61 -- may as well get 88.) It HAS to be touch sensitive for midi scoring.The darn thing actually works. It fit in my suitcase. The built-in sounds are terrible, but I don't use those -- USB to my laptop and I'm good to go. It IS velocity sensitive, although the quietest I could get was velocity 40 (and loudest 127) so I'll need to scale the velocity in my DAW. But for the price I can live with that.The keys also have the hardest springs I've ever encountered in a synth keyboard (as opposed to 'semi-weighted') but so what.All in all this keyboard does what it claims, and in terms of performance per dollar it is quite remarkable.P.S. the Glean scissors keyboard (also available on Amazon) breaks down enough to ALSO fit in a suitcase.

I am a professional musician who was looking for an anytime-anywhere keyboard and this is it. The price makes it so I am not concerned if something happens to it: I can get another one. That being said, the quality is very good (no failures out of the box) and if you run the audio out to a boom-box the sound is good enough for even playing a small gig. The action is a little stiff and not truly semi-weighted, as others have noted, but that makes it ideal for scales and velocity practice (Hanon, Czerny). The only knock I have is that the touch sensitivity is too granular for real expression, so yor not going to get by in a critical listening environment, but if you want a professional instrument you'll need to pay for it. Just enjoy jamming anywhere through a decent portable amp and you will love this one too!
