accompaniment patters including 10 rhythms, 10 free-sessions, and 10
funny ones. This musical keyboard also features an LCD-screen musical

Customer Reviews
Great for the money, but needs lower volume level setting.
For just a little more than a toy keyboard you can get something
that really works. This keyboard can do up to four notes at once, so
children can learn about both chords and melodies. The sound quality is
better than I expected considering the price, and it run on nice cheap
AA batteries that can be bought in bulk. Battery changing is easy.
The one downside is that the lowest volume level isn't all that
low. It's impossible to just play this quitely at a volume level low
enough so that only the one playing can hear. Also, it comes with a
microphone, and when that is plugged in, the sound can be heard all
over the house with the volume set to it's lowest level.
So, it's a nice way to introduce children to music, but it's a loud way because it doesn't allow a truly low volume setting.
Not bad for the price. . . 
This keyboard is just a decent noise-maker for kids. I bought it so
I would have a portable musical reference for a college music theory
course.
Two complaints, one small, one huge:
No big deal, but the "tones" you can select from sound pretty weak,
although there are a bunch to choose from so it's not hard to find
something that sounds okay.
But it really irks me that you can't play more than four keys at
the same time! If you have any experience with the piano you're going
to find this shortcoming completely unacceptable.
Two bits of praise:
There is a digital display showing both the treble and bass clef
staves. When you hit a key the display shows you where the pitch falls
on the staves. Ingenious! Perfect for beginners just learning.
Very lightweight and portable.
Conclusion: Great for kids, but don't even think about it if you have been playing for any amount of time.
This is great!
The Product Description recommends this for, "the young or
beginning musician". I can also recommend it for a female singer who is
NOT a pianist.
I wanted a small, lightweight keyboard just to learn vocal parts.
This is perfect. The keys are too short for a man's hands and take a
bit of getting used to, but the stated 4 1/2 pound weight is well worth
it.
I love it!
