RockJam 61 Key Keyboard Piano with Pitch Bend, Power Supply, Sheet Music Stand, Piano Note Stickers & Simply Piano Lessons

The media could not be loaded. My 11 year old wanted to start learning how to play the keyboard (eventually wants to learn the piano). This is absolutely perfect. It's a good sized keyboard for him, and it's great that it comes with stickers to label each key. Within two days of learning, probably only spending a few hours each day, he was able to play songs. It's now been 2 weeks since he has been playing, he can use two hands to play, he can play lots of songs, and can read the music.This has been worth every penny! In all fairness, it was a steal. The video is of my son playing the same day he recieved the keyboard. He has never played before, and has not played any other instruments, for your attention.It has been fun to watch him and for the family to join in.We have downloaded the free app, however have not used that as you must put in your card details to sign up to the free app. The post states 3 months but it only gave us 10 days so we didn't bother. YouTube has some great videos, and we have bought a really good book from Amaon aswell.Would recommend 100%.Also you can change the volume which every parent will appreciate, and you can add headphones so the rest of the house doesn't need to listen to it :) You can also change the sound of the keys, which is another bonus.

Purchased for myself, and after nearly two months with the product, I still find myself just as satisfied with it as I was on day one. There is a wide plethora of sounds that you can get from this, ranging from basses and brass to synths and sitars, each with multiple sub-presets of their own. There is also a full percussion board which can be used in conjunction with the recording function to create your own backing tracks if none of the 300 rhythms on offer please you. With the sustain, transposition and vibrato settings there is even more experimentation to be had. Tones that have been modified with these settings can be saved to memory, which saves time when looking for a custom tone. Volume control is good, and with the headphones jack you can always practice without disturbing others which is great.Some of the tones do sound very, very similar to others to my ears; and some are less useful for actual music making and more geared towards ambience, such as seashore or applause. It's to be expected at 300 tones but there are very distinct groupings of tones anyways, you won't be left wanting more variety with tones. The booklet that comes with the Keyboard lists all the different tones and rhythms so it's easy to navigate and find the tone you want. After two months I haven't noticed any decline in quality in regards to audio and condition so despite its relatively cheap price it is well built.All in all I'd say this Keyboard is well worth the money. With tons of tones and rhythms to choose from in addition to the memory and playback features, this product has great potential as an instrument.

Bought this piano for the other half as she was interested in trying to learn. The piano has done it's job, she's now enthusiastically playing away every day, but she was disappointed with the quality after only the first day and so was I.First off, the good. It's loud! Plenty of volume for the home user and quiet enough too for night playing, if you don't want to plug in some headphones. The keys also have a really nice feel to them, with a good amount of resistance and a soft end-of-travel which feels more akin to a real piano than plastic keys.The range of voices are good too, plenty to choose from, though I couldn't find an organ sound which makes playing some certain 60's songs a little harder. Given organ is quite commonly found on keyboards as well I was surprised not to find it. The piano voice itself isn't going to blow your socks off. It's not bad, I've heard worse, but you know you're playing a keyboard.The buttons on the keyboard all have a nice feel to them as well, and the screen is sharp and responsive. The readout of the screen along with the provided key stickers make this great for learning how to play a piano.However, where it falls short is 3 main points.First of all, the tone length is quite awkward. It's ok for most playing, but anything which requires a little sustain isn't possible as the notes finish too quickly. There is a sustain option on the keyboard but this throws things to the other end of the spectrum, where unless you were playing a really slow soppy tune it's just too long. If an option to adjust the length of the sustain was possible, or possibly a chorus/reverb option was available instead, that would make this piano substantially more playable.Another issue I have is there's a fairly loud click that occurs. If you imagine the click typically heard at the end of a RAW recording, on your phone or something, this is the kind of click I refer to. This click occurs both at the start and end of each note played as well as, for some reason, at regular ~2 second intervals whether playing or not. It becomes very evident when you're sitting looking up sheet music or something, not playing the keyboard, and there's just this click every 2 seconds. Very distracting. I haven't fully tested, but the click volume also appears unaffected by the master volume. Changing any of the tempo options also does not change the frequency of the click.My final bad point is the keyboard has a tendency to... glitch is the only way I can explain it. At random times, random keys will start producing a harsh buzzing sound when played. The buzzing sound gradually increases in volume, and gradually extends to more keys until the keyboard is powered off and on again. I can imagine if this happened in the middle of a 20 minute piece it would be very frustrating. This glitch doesn't occur all the time, but when my other half has been playing all day she experiences it a good few times in that day.Overall, this piano is cheap and marketed at beginners, and for that purpose it just about manages. If you're a proficient player, this piano is definitely not for you. Likewise, if you're very picky with your audio, this piano will likely frustrate you so maybe look elsewhere. This piano is definitely for novices who want to learn and I have rated it as such. It's unfortunate that the 3 issues noted above lose it 1 star even from this simple purpose.
