Ce piano est trs bien pour l’apprentissage le son est de qualit, j’ai ajout des stickers de notes de musique pour apprendre plus rapidement.
Il ya un support intgr trs utile pour mettre une tablette ou des notes de partition.
Le toucher est plutt agrable c’est trs bien pour dbuter.
Par contre la livraison tait impeu longue.
The title pretty much says it all.
The software that you get a 3 month free trial for was receiving the input from the keyboard without me having to do anything, other than plug in the USB B to USB cable.
This is an excellent value keyboard aimed at beginners and above players….
I was looking for something lightweight and portable for gigging…..with a small number of usable sounds and minimal ‘bells and whistles’.
At this price point it will not have the durability of a professional instrument of 1000+ but for what it is looks well made with a comfortable key action
The option for AA battery power is a bonus……
Very pleased with this purchase……
PERFECT AND LIGHTWEIGHT
SOUNDS AMAZING WITH HEADPHONES..
PLUGGING INTO AN AMP WILL BLOW THE SPEAKERS BUT A GREAT KEYBOARD FOR ANYONE AT ALL LEVELS..IT IS WHAT IT IS AND THAT’S A PIANO TO TUCK AWAY.
This piano is brilliant. It is rather long, but of course it is a full size piano. It’s not heavy and is easy to carry if necessary. It has a good tone and several features.
No hay muchas opciones de teclados con 88 teclas a precios ms bajos, y las que hay suelen ser controladores, como el de M-audio (los controladores requieren de conexin a un pc para ser tocados, siempre). Este teclado se puede usar como controlador pero tambin como teclado independiente, como instrumento que no necesita de ms que corriente elctrica (por pilas o por cable) para ser usado.
Recomiendo encarecidamente no comprar teclados de menos de las 88 teclas estandarizadas, ya que se quedara corto para la mayora del repertorio clsico, y an para muchas canciones pop, jazz etc. Si compones, perderas mucho rango de expresividad al privarte de los sonidos ms graves y agudos.
En este caso concreto, el teclado s tiene 88 teclas, dira que de tamao estndar al compararlas con pianos reales, lo cual es tambin vital para no forzar a los dedos a acostumbrarse a tamaos de teclas que luego, si algn da pasamos a otro teclado, nos dificulte el aprendizaje. Con respecto al tacto y sensacin de las teclas; a decir verdad no es para nada como el de un piano real o como los de teclados de mayor gama. Son de plstico, la resistencia de las teclas no es contrapesada (es decir, no ofrece distintos grados de dureza segn la octava del piano donde estemos tocando) sino ms bien simulada por la accin de muelles en cada una de las teclas. La resistencia baja, por lo cual si has tocado algn piano acstico te parecer de juguete, pero si slo has tocado teclados sin resistencia, te parecer hasta dura. La sensacin de tacto de las teclas negras es algo peor que la de las blancas.
Tiene entrada de jack gordo para poder conectar unos auriculares y no molestar (para el jack tpico de los auriculares hace falta comprar una clavija intermedia), tambin tiene entrada de pedal de sostenido, de jack gordo igualmente, salida a USB para usar como controlador…
Respecto a uno de los aspectos ms importantes, el sonido, es bastante decente. El sonido principal de piano, a pesar de ser muy electrnico (y de hecho no es grabado de piano de cola, tal como hacen otro pianos ms caros, sino generado electrnicamente) no es para nada desagradable. Los otros 4 sonidos extras son muy malos, para mi gusto suenan todos muy mal, pero como apenas los uso me es indiferente.
El volumen del sonido es ms que suficiente tanto en la salida de los altavoces incorporados como por salida auxiliar. Las teclas en s hacen algo de ruido al ser accionadas, pero es normal en teclados electrnicos. En el vdeo que adjunto mi piano estaba a mitad de volumen, sonando por sus propios altavoces.
Luego, las teclas tienen niveles de sensibilidad de volumen (un aspecto bsico para un piano – de hecho el nombre del piano viene de la simplificacin de pianoforte, que en italiano significa dbil y fuerte, destacando la importancia de los niveles de sonido que da el instrumento en funcin de lo fuerte que acciones una tecla). Pero es un nmero limitado de niveles, creo que 5 por tecla, nada del otro mundo pero suficiente para entrenar las dinmicas en las piezas que practiquemos y desarrollar cierto tacto musical.
No puedo hablar del apartado de durabilidad, lo llevo usando apenas un mes. No he notado ninguna avera ni empeoramiento del tacto de teclas o de aumento de ruidos ni nada parecido, pero no es mucho tiempo para afirmar que sea un artculo durable.
En resumen, es un teclado que por este precio rinde muy satisfactoriamente, pero que palidece mucho frente a opciones de la siguiente gama, por no mucho ms dinero.
Mi consejo es que si en verdad alguien tiene la determinacin de aprender a tocar el piano y no crea que sea un impulso momentneo que dejar al poco de no ver mejoras, se compre un teclado ms caro como el yamaha p45 o el roland fp10 (ambos se venden en amazon por 430 euros de media, aunque el roland es algo mejor, as que es el que escogera, pero ambas opciones son seguras y no defraudarn). Si no quieres invertir tanto dinero por lo pronto, este teclado es una opcin perfectamente vlida.
just what I wanted. like the overall look and the sound is great.
This is the 2nd digital piano I’ve bought, and I don’t regret it. Sounds great, has sustain pedal support and a bunch of adjustable settings, like types of reverb and levels of touch sensitivity. Great for being relatively cheap.
This has a good realistic piano sound and is perfect if you are tight on space and having the benefit of 88 keys which is always good to have if you are a beginner.
I bought this as a present for my wifes birthday as she had expressed an interest in learning an instrument.
I am really happy with this keyboard as a starter instrument for her. The sound is good, there is a jack for headphone connection for when she wants to practice during a busy time.
She tells me that the keys are responsive and the pressure feels authentic to the pianos she played at home as a youngster, and that it is easy to use and intuitive.
I spread the payments across 5 months as an experiment (i have not done this with Amazon before) and found it a very convenient way of doing things.
This is a definite recommend from me.
Good for price . Nice look just two things louder sound would be nice.and better left and right outputs ANTHONY TAFFE
Love the semi-weighted keys. Battery option makes it so portable. great purchase!
it’s been recommended by my little’s one teacher and we are very happy with that. delivery, quality and service from seller was excellent.
Idal pour dbutants ou musicien dsirant transporter sont piano sans difficult trs bon son trs beau piano il as tout d’un grand
For the price(at the time 179.99) pretty good. I Wanted to learn classical pieces and not spend 500++ on a digital keyboard.
Big difference from a small 40 something key keyboard I was using. Noticed the difference in weight of the keys(semi weighted) after a couple minutes of exercises. The sensitivity is fairly good but probably could be better. Haven’t any desire to use the USB-B port but it is there
Pros:
+ Pricepoint for full 88 key
+ Keys are Semi-weighted
+ Heavy with a decent quality material feel
+ Has USB-B connectivity(No cable provided)
+ includes stickers for keys(only white tho)
+ Included a 3 months free trial of Simply Piano(The app that’s advertised on almost every damn piano themed YouTube video)
+ Speakers are good quality.
Cons:
– Limited optional tones.
– Not super sensitive.
– Connection’s are loose.
– Power cable length(less only a meter long).
– Only semi weighted
– Stickers wear after 2 and a half months of daily use.(I suggest buying a key guide that sits behind the keys)
Excellent for a beginner. The configuration of this electronic piano allows beginners to easily switch from using a classical piano to that of the keyboard. I recommend it to those who are now taking piano lessons and want to repeat at home the scores learned in the course. The two speakers play a clear and faithful sound but for those who want more can use a professional headphones.
Absolutely love it. It’s now down to me to learn on it.
Love my new keyboard, bought it as a lockdown hobby to start, slow to get going but the electric piano is fab, it sounds lovely, is easy to use and looks really good. Looking forward to building on my new skills
It was a gift for my son who is in his 30s and he’s teaching himself how to play , he seems very happy with i
Very good for price. Easy to use for beginners. Highly recommend
Very impressed with this full size keyboard, excellent quality and value for money. Authentic piano sound. Semi-weighted keys with 3 levels of touch sensitivity are perfectly adequate for beginner level
Really good keyboard for beginners and pro.
Value the money
I really did like this keyboard, the size was really good and had multiple funtions. Unfortunately I had to return this for personal reasons but would totally recommend this product to anyone looking for a quality sized keyboard.
La verdad es que no se mucho de pianos, yo apenas estoy comenzando a aprender y esta muy cmodo, las teclas no son muy duras, pero tampoco estn muy blandas, el sonido es a mi parecer muy bueno.
Bought it for my beginner husband for Christmas 2019, and a year on he is uses it daily and is enjoying learning to play. Money well spent. A good sturdy item.
Got it as a gift for my girlfriend who wanted to learn to play and she’s been using it for 2 months almost daily – no issues with the quality – seems like the perfect choice for beginners.
I purchased this back in may 2020 have had no issues, this keyboard is a perfect fit for beginners!
I love it! The sound is very clean and the board looks cool as well. In perfect condition and it arrived super quick. Definitely worth your money 🙂
This instrument seems to be good value for money, it certainly plays better than similar instruments at around the same price, from other makes.As it was purchased as a gift I would need to wait for comments from the recipient.
I’m really enjoying my new keyboard, lm playing more and of course my ability has improved. The only thing I don’t like about this product is the flimsy “music book stand “.
Quality of the product is not good. it is just fine.
All as ot should be great sound great tone lots of features
Elle est en ravie.
Le piano est trs grand, puisque 88 touches.
En lisant les prcdents commentaires, j’apprhendais pour la prise lectrique, mais j’ai bien reu une prise compatible pour la France.
Pour le casque, le trou est gros, ce sont les casques pour la TV avec le gros adaptateur qu’il faut avoir.
Sinon apart a, rien signaler, on verra dans le temps si je dois modifier mon commentaire.
Boufht it for my son he’s going GCSE Music, he’s really pleased. Like the feel of the keys
Bought it for my mother’s 86th birthday. She hadn’t played for 30 years ans isin lockdown.she’s delighted with it.
So happy I bought this! I’ve not used it much at present but I can’t wait til I have time to be able to focus on it. It’s a lovely sound and looks & feels great!
A mi hija le gust mucho porque es principiante y el peso de las teclas est bien, puesto que se sienten pesadas como un piano. Aclaro que es la percepcin de una principiante.
I am an intermediate piano player, I wanted a simple keyboard with enough range, I am very pleased with my purchase. Looks nice, good feeling too. The power cable could be a bit longer.
I never left review comments, but this piano I must say is a great value for money, its quality is better than I have expected, every key notes are perfect. For I have played piano for 20 years now, still I am satisfied with this one as its quality is a great value at its price, and I definitely recommend buying it!
I brought the Alesis Recital sounds like really piano keyboard lay out like the really thing love i
It is nice value however the sound is very low even for a beginner.
I got the 55$ stand that is recommended and it’s strong and does the job. Love that the height is adjustable. Great purchase without big investment and commitment.
As a total beginner it is a good starter piano for the price I paid easy to use and sounds well
This had a very good sound for the price. For me the keys were a bit too resistant and I decided to return the item. The seller was VERY good and made it easy for me to do so. Would use this seller again.
Full sized piano keyboard. Stores under the bed. Works great for my son who wants to learn how to play. Does what the description says.
Just what I needed. Good quality for the price and ideal for both beginner and returners to piano playing.
I wanted an electric piano that was portable to get back in to playing. Value for money and nice sound, just what I wanted.
En estos dos aos no ha fallado nada, las teclas funcionan muy bien, las bocinas como el primer dia, cables, entradas, botones, etc, todo bien.
Dejo anotaciones para ayudarles a decidir mejor.
Detalles que he encontrado con respecto a un piano real y Vs un teclado Casio privia:
– El peso de las teclas es el que se indica en la descripcin. Tiene un mecanismo de resorte y no el efecto (o maquinaria) tipo martillo (que se usa en un piano original). Si bien no es malo ni molesto, es una caracteristica para personas exigentes. Se siente que son teclas mas ligeras pero no chafitas ni que se vayan a romper. Es justo el peso de la descripcin.
– La configuracin de la sensibilidad de teclas no me agrada del todo. Tiene 3 configuraciones y parece que las 3 son las mismas. Se nota cuando segn tu tocas “quedito” y al mismo tiempo intentas tocar fuerte otras teclas. Se nota mas con las teclas agudas… Aunque toques muy fuerte, no la tecla no da ms volumen y no se distingue de otras teclas como el Casio privia.
– Cuando se usa el pedal, tocas (pisando el pedal) y dejas de tocar, se escucha un ligero siseo… Lo cual creo que es normal por las caractersticas (polifonia o voces o eso)
En resumen, por el precio estoy extremadamente satisfecho. Y mis opiniones son muy crticas dado que tengo punto de comparacin, a pesar de no ser experto.
Pero considero que hice una excelente compra y estoy muy contento.
ACTUALIZACIN en 2022: Sigue funcionando todo como el primer da. Mis respetos para este piano
le toucher des touch est trs proche des grand piano, Jouer du techno, dance n’est pas possible.
Note
* Jai trouver sont powersupply cach dans la boite 3mois aprs l’achat.
Best electric piano I’ve ever seen. Been using it for over 3 months and it is the closest to a real piano you can get fit a reasonable price!
Fortunatly and credit to Alesis, the electric piano is working well and I am very pleased with it.
I found this product did everything I expected,overall I am very pleased with it.
Strong sound, good volume range, nice silky finish and beautifully finished. Nothing to complain about!
Looking for my first full size keyboard, having previously had a smaller keyboard. This one is of excellent quality and for the price sounds great. Make sure you buy a pedal too.
When learning a piece, when you’ve got the notes down and the rhythm perfect then you’re going to want to add expressiveness, feeling and dynamics. This is where baby Alesis gets left in the living room while you go and find a real piano. Don’t get me wrong, you can still play wonderfully on Alesis’ semi-weighted touch-sensitive keys. But your little pinky-finger delicately hitting a note on Alesis and on a real piano (especially a grand) are two different experiences. It’s like comparing restaurants. You can fill your belly and get a satisfying meal at a takeaway or upmarket restaurant. If you want to play beautiful piano music, I would highly recommend learning with Alesis. Once you’re happy with how you’re playing the piece, go experience it on a real piano for maximum realness, pleasure and satisfaction.
I’ll keep Alesis for many years. I’ve had mine two years now (2017-2019) and she’s been a faithful friend. 2am in the morning or 2pm in the afternoon, always there, ready to be played and explored. I’ve learned and continue to learn so much about music and piano with my Alesis.
I’ll be looking to upgrade, only when I reach a level, where the nuances of expression are so prominent to me, that I need a real piano (or the closest thing I can afford to it).
Nonetheless I am very very happy with my Alesis does what it says on the tin and a real pleasure to play.
PD: Yo tambin quiero clases del seor que dijo que no era apto para sus dedos :v
Perfect for what we wanted. Simple piano features, weighted keys, responds to variable key pressure.
My son loves his new 88 key keyboard and has been playing it every day since Christmas day, entertaining the family and learning new tunes. Great gift.
For a light weight option, with not too many accessories, and semi weighted keys and a good price I recommend.
It’s not perfect, list of Cons below:
Some keys are marginally slightly closer together than others.
The music stand has a massive open back so anything less than A4 stood upright will not fit, including tablets. The answer to this is to slide the base of the music stand higher but then you end up reading your music higher up than you’d like.
The stand also wobbles somewhat when really hitting them keys, so much that my tablet sometimes changes screen orientation because it moves. This is only when you’re really playing or trying to type on the tablet whilst one the stand (very high up on the stand)
Although the keys are semi weights I cannot tell the difference in pressure from high to low, I believe they are all the same weight.
And it has no AUX for headphone/silent play which I thought it came with after watching a video review online but this could have been the pro.
And if you want to be really fussy takes a good few seconds from holding the ON/OFF button before turning On or Off.
If you can handle the above then its a great keyboard.
I have enjoyed ours but the sound has now gone too quiet to allow me to play it – not sure how I get this repaired or what could be wrong – we have not done anything to cause this fault? Please advise…
loving it, lovely weighted keys. fab piano for the price
Bought this for my son as a birthday present. Response from my son is that it is brilliant! He said it was just what he wanted. The sound is fantastic.
Love this! Had it a couple of months and serves my purpose perfectly
The touch sensitivity seems to work properly only when set to hard (which makes the keys click every time they are played), but is actually quite good and allows practising on piano and forte quite nicely.
The different instruments available and the chances to split the keyboard are very good for some type of practise but haven’t used them very much as I’m mainly a classic piano player. Same for Reverb and Chorus functions.
It’s a bit difficult to set the metronome with precision as it has to be done with + and – keys without knowing at what number it is currently set.
It’s probably because my headphones have a short cable, but half of the times I’m playing with headphones the cable falls on the keyboard and I have to move my hands around it (not very good for practise).
Haven’t tried the sustain or the MIDI output so far, but I probably will and it is very nice to have these features,
In the end, it’s clearly not a piano for live performances as it is right now, but it’s brilliant for practise and light enough to be moved around the room and not create too much trouble. I would totally recommend it for home practise if you can’t afford or don’t have room for a piano.
Great basic piano for the beginner, nothing too fancy, nice sound.
Really needed a new one my last was a bit sticky…
The compact portability allows me to set up the Alesis Recital Piano wherever I want, whilst the inbuilt speakers save me from having to connect it to an external audio source, although the line outputs enable you to perform this if you wish to. The headphone port allows me to practice whenever I wish to (which is normally in the morning and of an evening), without disturbing my housemate and neighbours.
Now that I have this intuitive learning tool, i’m going to take full advantage of the 3 month Skoove Premium Subscription (interactive online piano lessons) that’s included in this package. I’ve always wanted to delve further into improving my music theory skills and now this is finally possible with Skoove’s expansive range of Beginner/Intermediate and multi-genre lessons – the USB connection functionality not only allows me to play along with the computer whilst receiving realtime feedback, but it also enables me to control VSTs within my DAW – Logic X when producing my own music.
The inbuilt metronome and onboard effects also add to the compactness of this learning package and the ‘Lesson’ function will be perfect when being taught by friends. Who knows I may even use this to teach someone else when i’m a fully fledged keys player!
Great value for money here on Amazon, highly recommended. 5 Stars!
Upon opening and removing the Recital from its packaging and setting up with the supplied power adapter(it even takes batteries) all I can say is WOW, very nice!!
If you want an easy to use digital piano then for the price this is a very good option.
It has an 88-key, semi-weighted keyboard which although not on par with more expensive digital pianos it feels great to play and would suit anyone who wants to jump in and learn to play piano.
Also included in the pack is a 3 month Skoove Premium Subscription(an online teaching course) which is great to get you started.
There are quite a wealth of features on the Recital which I see as being useful for any user be it a beginner right up to a pro user who wants a no fuss keyboard to use in the studio.
It has stereo RCA outputs to connect to your external speakers, a sustain pedal input and USB MIDI connector for linking up to your favourite music software on your PC/Mac or even iPad(which you can see pictured running GarageBand).
The internal 20 watt speakers also sound great and don’t distort at high volumes and although they aren’t overly loud they are adequately suitable for playing in a small/medium room setting.
The speaker output is also cut out when you use the headphone output socket. It would have been nice if there were two headphone outputs for teaching but this would be easily solved by using a headphone splitter jack on the output.
The piano sound(although only one type of acoustic piano) is really nice and in full sounding stereo
(low notes on left up to highs on the right) and having a polyphony of 128 notes you certainly won’t get any note stealing here.
There are other sounds onboard(Electric Piano/Organ/Synth/Bass) and it also has a nice mode to layer two sounds and also split mode so you can play say a bass in the lower half of the keyboard and a piano in the top half.
I do have one small complaint though, there isn’t a String type sound to layer in with the Piano but that’s just me though(I’m a sucker for Piano/String combinations).
There is also a cool Lesson mode that splits the keyboard range in two with the same notes/pitch so that two people can play along with each other side by side.
This would certainly be a great keyboard for the school music room.
All of the main sounds and options are accessed via the nicely lit blue buttons on the top panel along with a reverb and chorus to add to your overall sound.
You can also access more advanced features on the Recital by holding down the Metronome and Teaching buttons and by pressing the relevant keyboard key(as detailed in the supplied manual).
These features are things like the Click an Resonance of the pedal sound, the Velocity envelope of the keyboard, MIDI channel, Reverb/Chorus level, Metronome tempo and many more(described in the manual)…
So, the Alesis Recital is a nicely built and featured Digital Piano for anyone looking at learning to play but also a nice addition for anyone that wants a no fuss 88-key keyboard to add to their studio.
It won’t stand up to the more fully featured more expensive ones on the market but I highly recommend this for anyone who wants a low cost starter Digital Piano. And to be very honest it is really a steal at below the 300 price point!
Nice one Alesis, very impressive at an affordable price!!
I have had a few lessons but found them to be too costly to have as regularly as I would like. I have started and am enjoying the Skoove lessons and will complete my 3 month premium subscription and expect I will continue or go have a few lessons alongside. The speakers sound good but I am trying to play as often as I can so when it’s late or early in the morning the headphone option is a welcome choice in my house!
The piano has features that I am excited about exploring as my ability develops such as The Layer mode and I will look into getting a sustain pedal.
After all I’m satisfied with this product, it has a good “bang for the buck” ratio.
