88 Key Piano Keyboard Semi Weighted, Portable Digital Piano MEP-3300

Excellent quality, bought as a gift it is quite heavy but comes with a bag with handles which is really helpful, great quality easy to use and value for money the price was great could easily be worth a lot more, built well and sounds fabulous,

I am a total beginner (age 68), so can hardly compare this to other keyboards, but I must say it looks and feels to be worth much more than the £199 price. It has 88 full-size keys (on reflection, as a beginner the 66-key model would probably have been fine for me), and seems to be of substantial build quality. The control buttons are clearly marked and the whole look is neat and not intimidating to the tyro. The keys themselves seem to take rather more effort to depress than I was expecting, but I'm used to it now, and anyway I've never been anywhere near a concert Steinway, so what would I know? The tone sounds fine to me, and once I'd gone throught the 120+ tones (some more "novelty" than others, including "Distortion Guitar", "Voice Oohs" and "Bottle Blow") I finished up back at the default "Piano 1" which I suspect will be the case for most users; I don't think this is intended for creative professional performers. Those various tones, and the sample tunes, no doubt take a fair amount of memory, and in my humble opinion that memory could more usefully be used by improving the Record/Replay function. This works as follows: 1 Press 'Record'; 2 Play a passage; 3 Press 'Playback'; 4 It replays what you've just recorded. That's it (press Playback again and it will play it back again). It's certainly very simple, but a) it only remembers one tune (press Record again and it instantly forgets the last one), and b) it only remembers that one tune during the current "session", because it forgets it after you switch off. It would be nice if I could preserve some of my efforts for later comparison, or just for fun. Next the stand. It's of good quality and I could build another one in 5 minutes flat, but the instructions are next to useless and you might like to note that half the illustrations you see online are wrong! It has 4 struts: two two-strutted legs in an "X" shape. The struts in those two legs are parallel to each other, ie there is a "wide" leg and a "narrow" leg. It is all too easy to assume that each leg has a rather awkward tapering shape. It doesn't. Tinker about and you will succeed in the end! Finally, mine arrived without the Sustain pedal mentioned. Again, as a total beginner it is not something I miss and no doubt the suppliers would send me one if I could have been bothered to mention it to them (I'll update this review if they read it and send me one!). And absolutely finally, what it did come with was a charming purple, fringed dust sheet which looks like it's come from the century before last. I love it!

Very happy with the piano. It's quite a substantial instrument, so whilst it's definitely portable you need to be quite strong to move it around. The stand has to be constructed and the instructions enclosed are not very easy to follow - thankfully there's an online video which made that much easier than it first seemed. It has lots of tones, percussive sounds and excellent effects. It'll take a long time to explore all the possibiliities. The keyboard is responsive and feels great to play.

I’m just a beginner and do not know what it a good electronic piano should sound like. This keyboard sounds fine to me and am very pleased. Hopefully good to go with decplay. I only wanted a piano keyboard but this has lots of noise options. It does have a record button which I guess will be handy to actually hear your standard of progress. This keyboard is big, solid and heavy. In fact the delivery was slow by Hermes/Evri, at one stage they said they could not deliver as the package was so large that they needed a van that could handle it. Listing that it has Bluetooth, I was hoping that I could pair it with my earbuds, it doesn’t. The seller says that it will pair with phone and iPad. I did try plugging in my headphones but it needs a 6.35 plug connector not the 3.5. I have ordered a converter. The stand was initially tricky to assemble but it was straightforward once you get the idea. The instructions need a magnifying glass. Comes with what appears to be a sturdy, soft vinyl, carry case, but I don’t see myself lugging it around in a hurry. Has a bonus velvet dust cover/shawl, very stylish ;) Roll over Beethoven!

The sound quality is not good. The key weight and touch really fall short of expectation I’m quite disappointed with the purchase.

Very good first keyboard. Hundreds of different noises. Bluetooth etc. good value for money.

I really like this keyboard .. the stand was a little difficult to put together.. the instructions were useless to me .. I searched on YouTube and found some video instructions and it's actually not that difficult to put together. The piano itself is a very good size and the keys just like a normal piano ... The only problem, and I hope it's a little problem is when playing middle C it sometimes doesn't sound or sounds lower than the other keys .. I'm keeping an eye on it .. maybe its the way I'm playing it ... I am a beginner and maybe I don't have the technique right ..Its so much cheaper than the other more well known counterparts. I am pleased with the purchase for now .. hopefully my son and I will get a lot of use out of it and become good piano players 😊

Great piano I really love it.
