Recital Pro Digital Piano 88-Key Weighted with Hammer Action | For Beginners and Advancing Players, Realistic Piano Feel, Lesson Mode, 20W Speakers and Sustain Pedal, for Home Practice

So first of all I would recommend highly getting a sustain pedal off the bat. Also a sturdy keyboard stand, as the weighty quality of this product would benefit greatly. I have got this keyboard to use for midi. The effects are very few, but they are astounding quality, rich and full of 'imperfections', of which significantly improves the naturalness of the sounds. I would highly recommend this keyboard alongside a midi setup, you won't be playing complex synth from Pink Floyd or Dream Theater with the onboard sounds. They are frustratingly simple but the playability of this board, I would say 'in my opinion', plays better than some of my KORG and Roland stuff. I can't explain it, it just feels right. Buy this, you won't regret it one bit!

This keyboard feels and performs like a traditional piano. The sound is quite good, and the price is excellent. I don't think anyone other than professionals would be disappointed with it. The full 88 keys are a welcome departure from the 62 keys of many keyboards. These are often difficult to obtain. If you see one, buy it. Note: This has several voices but not the dozens that many keyboards have. The quality of the few has been concentrated on rather than the dozens of tinny sounds many keyboards have.

We are beginners and this is incredible for the price. It is well thought out, easy to use, has a great build quality, sensible features and excellent sound. It’s quite heavy but that makes is steady on the stand. Professionals might say the sound isn’t as good as others but at our level, it sounds amazing compared to the plastic keyboard we were using before. I was reluctant to buy a £600 Korg piano in case it was a waste but the Alesis Recital Pro is absolutely spot on. I would really recommend it for anyone who wants 88, fully weighted keys and isn’t switching from a real or grand piano. I saw comments about noisy keys but it’s only the same as every other piano as far as I can see. At low volumes, you might hear the keys, like any piano.

This keyboard is great for beginners/intermediate but if you want something with all the bells & whistles on this isn't for you mind for the price you get alot for your money & after along time comparing brands & prices this was my best option i would always say Roland is the brand to beat for quality sound & key action but the alesis has good weighted adjustable keys ,great speakers , good sound and it has the on board tools you need but it is a big piece of kit which I personally i don't dislike I'm not using it 2 move around but if you were I'd consider this, I bought a pedal , stand to accompany overall this is a good solid choice & will perform for yrs i suppect & at the price it's great value & if later you want something a little more you can

This keyboard amazed me, 40+ years ago I took piano lessons on a baby grand, I was never that good, but moved to electric organ after that as I could eithrr never find yhe time or the room for a piano. Having alway harkened back for one, and still don't have the room, I saw this item in reviews. Has a bit of spare cash, so thought I'd try. Wow! Now bear in mind I am no expert, but this from memory feels like I was back as a young lad in my instructors how on the baby grand. I've used the other voices quite a bit also, and these too are off the chart. Always end up coming back to the piano though. Can't praise this equipment enough. Would happily advise anyone who doesn't want to purchase a piano but does want to either learn or allow their child to learn, to purchase one of these. Never thought a digital instrument could give such good touch and sound. Love it.

Great 88 key piano Big, bulky Weighted keys, takes alot of effort to press, but gives the feel of an acoustic piano Sound quality isn't too good But overall, it was a good buy

It's big. It is clearly a high quality piece of kit. As a beginner I'm confident that I spent just a little more than I was hoping to but now have something that will respond as my laying develops. I won't have to change when I start to be able to play better. It's good enough for great players and forgiving enough for newbies, like me. That in itself provides motivation to practice more and play better. I'm really happy with my purchase.

I am learning on this keyboard and I am happy with it. I would rather be beginner with a good keyboard and this is mid rage and for the price very good quality. I am not expert with piano so can't say much more but have had previous keyboard which was not weighted keys so this to me is a better product and well made.

Biz beğendik çok güzel

幼少の頃、ピアノを習っていたのだが、 また弾きたくなって安い入門用はないものかと物色し、１年前くらいに購入。 自宅は一戸建てであるが、イヤホンで使用している。 鍵盤の音は確かにガタゴトという音がする。私はイヤホンしているのでまったく聞こえないが、 家族からガタガタうるさいと言われたことがある。 音色はピアノ音にリバーブ機能かけて使用しているが、なかなかいい音で気に入っている。 このお値段にしては機能も多彩で、いろいろ遊べると思う。私はまったく使ってないが。 ハンマーアクションということで本物のピアノの弾きごこちということだが、 あくまで擬似的なもので実際のピアノより鍵盤は重め。 ある程度、上達したら本格的なものに買い換えたほう良いと思っているが、あと数年、しばらくはこれでいいかな。

I was pleasantly surprised by this. I bought it because I wanted to learn to play piano well and I wanted something to approximate the feel of a real piano without the cost (I'd taken lessons briefly years ago and I just sort of wanted to see if I could pick it up again). I was hesitant because when I say I took lessons years ago, I mean it, and back then affordable digital keyboards all felt and sounded hideously fake. This one is not bad at all. It's better than what I expected for the money I spent, definitely. My first one arrived damaged, unfortunately, and lucky I even noticed it. I actually had played for a while but I'd had no occasion to go to the highest keys until I noticed by chance that two of those keys were slightly depressed in a resting position and when pressed the mechanism seemed unweighted and they barely made any sound compared to the rest of the keys. I called Amazon customer service and they were phenomenal. I'd explained I'd already tossed the box and they sent a replacement so I could just use that box to send it back and the delivery guy had a prepaid label for me to take the old one back at the same time. It is difficult for me to maneuver a large item like this alone, I have some physical issues that made me concerned the returns process would be a nightmare but that was not at all the case. Furthermore, I feel that the issue I had with the first one was not even a manufacturer defect, the nature of the issue made it seem like perhaps the first unit was handled a bit roughly during transit (well a lot roughly) and the box did support this assumption. It was packed well, and the item itself is sturdy, but accidents happen and I imagine it may have been dropped at some point and the shock of the drop caused the issue. The second one, however, arrived in a timely fashion with zero defects and I couldn't be more pleased. Keys are properly weighted, sound is good, it seems sturdy enough, and I've had no issues with it. Overall, definitely a good purchase, especially if you're an amateur like me and you don't want to spend a huge amount of money but want something that feels and sounds decent.

Decided to go back to piano as a senior, during the pandemic. Spent several awful years as a kid with forced lessons (familiar story to many - with old-school teacher/endless scales/learning tedious music I STILL don't like!). Amazingly, the fingers remember! And now I'm learning to play the music I truly love! So, knew I wanted a full-size dedicated digital piano (not synth keyboard) with at least semi-weighted keys. Sound was really important, since I have a musician's ear, and can tell the difference between makes of concert grands. On a small pension, so budget disastrous. Classic champagne taste, beer budget... Researched inexpensive models for months. Choice narrowed down to the Yamaha P45 for its build, action, and reputation, and the Alesis Recital Pro for its sound and unbeatable price. Judging a piano's sound from the web is hard. Audio may, or may not be HD, and manufacturers are likely tweaking the sound to improve it. Fortunately, I have audio HD on my laptop, and an audiophile, studio headset. But the source is still obviously mp3/mp4, not flac/wav. Found that I actually preferred the clear sound of the Alesis over the Yamaha - which sounded more neutral and without character. What clinched it for me was that Amazon makes the Alesis Recital Pro available with 5 equal/no fee/no interest payments. This made it a no-brainer for me. Out-of-the-box: Attractive, simple, solid, well-designed unit. Controls adequate (it's definitely not a synth) and straightforward. Standard piano mode with reverb and optional pedal is my default and remarkably good. The other instrument modes actually sound more real through the onboard speakers. Through better speakers/headsets, they sound disturbingly synthesized - at least to my ear. Alesis obviously put their primary effort into the piano sound. The other instruments almost feel like add-ons. Key action has three adjustment points, which are adequate, given the price. By no stretch can you get the nuance and delicacy of tone/volume of a true piano, but for the price, that would be a fantasy. And it's 'way better than the deadness of an unweighted keyboard. I found the straight-up sound and amp output good - actually better than expected. Little did I know... So I decided to do a "What's REALLY in here?" experiment, and dug out my studio cans. It was a revelation. OMG! There's a wannabe Concert Grand hiding in there! Ok, ok, slight exaggeration ;-) , but the difference between the dinky speakers and audiophile headphones was like night and day. And it sounds far better than many pianos featured in films or on Youtube. So out-of-the-box I gave the sound only 4 stars, because the true sound of this extraordinary piano is crippled by tiny, crap speakers. The next step was to hook it up to a high quality sound system. In my case, a venerable, but crystal-clear Yamaha surround system with Polk speakers. Again, quantum leap in sound quality and presence. Alesis might actually do better to sell it speaker-optional, although that would probably scare some beginners away - even though hooking it to a sound system is simple. So, no Steinway D Hamburg in my future. But's that's ok. I look forward to eventually getting the Pianoteq software, and using the Alesis to recreate many of history's greatest pianos. But for now, job one is to get my playing to where I can do this amazing digital piano justice...

Goede keyboard, alleen klinkt het geluid een klein beetje anders dan een echte piano.
