Alesis Recital 61 – 61 Key Digital Piano Keyboard with Semi Weighted Keys, 20W Speakers, 10 Voices, Split, Layer and Lesson Mode, FX and Piano Lessons

I purchased this for someone taking a piano class at school to have at home. It seems as though it will serve that purpose well. it is quite robust/heavy for the price, and seems well-made. It sits in a middle ground between those full-featured plastic keyboards from Yamaha and other brands with a range of sounds and buttons, and a lower-end professional keyboard. The keys are the right size, and the sound quality is very good. Nothing fancy, but it does what it is supposed to do very well. You could practice on this, entertain people, goof around, write music with it. I don't think I'd take it on tour, but otherwise, it is a good choice.

I am the keyboardist for my church and I'm used to a high quality keyboard around $5000 quality. During Covid I have been doing worship videos from home with my piano but wanted to have a synth effect to add more ambiance I had ordered a slightly more expensive Yamaha let's just say any of those under 1000$ sound like toys lol. This I am unbelievably Happy with. It's still not as great as the churches of course but it has the sound quality any vocalists and genuine musician wants. My only complaint is I'm used to 88 keys and I can tell the difference but that's something I can live with

Such a great practice piano for a beginner! I have a large 88 key with weighted keys that I can’t just carry around and it takes up a ton of space. I couldn’t find any other keyboard this small and light with full size semi weighted keys except for this. It’s the closest you can get to an acoustic piano for the size and weight, and it sounds great! Great price too! Love it!!

Like the smaller size and great sound for my needs. Was just wanting something for myself to practice on. Played piano years ago and decided to pick it back up again. Good way to get refreshed. And the smaller size doesn't take up a lot of room.

I originally bought this piano keyboard for my seventeen-year-old son who has Autism and loves music! This piano keyboard was the perfect fit for him...looking forward to him progressing in his piano skills. I am very pleased with the investment made in this specific keyboard and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high quality and affordable keyboard.

Like a lot of kids growing up in the '60's, I took piano lessons for a few years, but I was not gifted so I lost interest. However, I always thought I would try again as an adult. I decided that during the quarantine was a good time to try. Love this keyboard! The sound is great, the keys feel good, and I'm having so much fun being a basic player. Totally recommend this keyboard.

Nice little keyboard. It sounds good, and is easy to move around. I keep this keyboard at my mothers house so I have something to play when I'm visiting.

Very easy to setup and get started playing. However, the sound without earphones does not seem quite right. Also miss the extra octaves of the 88 key version.

El piano suena bien. Tiene 10 voces y aunque habría echado en falta una tipo guitarra no está mal. La única pega que le pondría es que hay algunos programas que devuelven un error de falta de memoria del piano cuando ll conecto. No sé si realmente es cosa del piano.

Vale cada peso que pagué, las teclas son muy buenas que es lo que mas me interesaba

Ce piano est très bien pour l'apprentissage le son est de qualité, j'ai ajouté des stickers de notes de musique pour apprendre plus rapidement. Il ya un support intégré très utile pour mettre une tablette ou des notes de partition. Le toucher est plutôt agréable c'est très bien pour débuter. Par contre la livraison était impeu longue.

Ich war mit dem Keyboard sehr zufrieden, bis nach ca. 6 Monaten drei Tasten einen Defekt aufwiesen. Die Töne werden an diesen drei Tasten viel leiser abgespielt als bei den anderen Tasten. Ansonsten bin ich mit dem Keyboard sehr zufrieden.

Well, I've had this piano for two weeks now and I am delighted with it. The sound quality is excellent, the keys have just enough resistence to give a genuinely piano-like feel to them, and the touch sensitivity is very welcome, so for anyone looking to learn piano rather than just keyboard I will defiitely recommend this. I spent a couple of months over the summer umming and ahing over which keyboard to go for, eventually narrowing it down to the Recital 61 (I have limited space) or the Yamaha 373; deciding that, whilst the 373's grand piano sound is gorgeous, it lacks the key-feel of a real piano. For anyone learning to play piano, as opposed to just 'keyboard', this feel, the combination of weight and touch sensitivity, is vital, and as the 10billion bells and whistles on the Yam did not interest me, the Alesis won out by quite a distance. Are there any downsides to this piano? Only a couple of *very* minor ones related to the power cable. The wire for this is seriously short (a little over a yard in length) and the jack plug/socket connection feels a bit too tight (so much so that unplugging it from the back of the machine feels a little uncomfortable in case I may damage it in some way) so instead I unplug from the wall rather than from the piano itself. These are though, as I said, very minor quibbles and certainly would not have stopped me buying this piano if I'd known in advance. So, summing up, I'd recommend this piano for anyone looking to actually learn piano rather than 'keyboard'. It has everything you need to learn to be a decent pianist from scratch. All you need to do now is buy one and practise.
