Alesis Recital Pro 88-Key Digital Piano | Hammer-Action Weighted Keys, 20W Speakers, 12 Voices, Split/Layer Modes, Piano Lessons Included, for Intermediates

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!

My daughter is grade 8 now with grades completed with this piano. I knew she would needed a weighted key piano to be able to play effectively. This was amazing value for money. We never move it. It's so large I don't think you would want to be using it for gigs. Its light. Best buy of anything we have ever bought from Amazon and cheaper than gear 4 music.

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

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.

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.

Great 88 key pianoBig, bulkyWeighted keys, takes alot of effort to press, but gives the feel of an acoustic pianoSound quality isn't too goodBut overall, it was a good buy

First proper full keyboard iv had. So can’t really compare with others. But very satisfied. Very good value for money. Nice and sturdy not flimsy. I won’t be moving it around so wasn’t bothered about it being ultra lightweight. So this is perfect and it was well packaged.

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。

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.

I like it a lot- it gives you the real piano experience, you can adjust the sound volume, it doesn’t take much space in the room. A very good option for those who would like to play piano, but don’t want to buy the real one
