I have had this for a year. I have been playing piano for a long time but would call myself average amateur player. When I bought it it looked like for the price point it had so many feature and pretty decent reviews. The keyboard feel is good for me. Only slight negative is that the keyboards produce a little thump sound when hit. All keyboards do but this one seems a little loud. I am talking about sound keys make when sound is turned off. You can hear this a little when playing, especially where you are hitting keys hard. If you record what you play to the keyboard and playback you get clean sound because there is no actually sound of you hitting the keys. I love all the different voices. The violins voice is nothing like i have seen in other keyboards. It really gives the feel of hearing real violins. I also love the recording ability. Very simple to record and playback. What you can do is learn one hand of a song, record it and then play back and play along with the other hand. It really helps me learn music fast. Only small thing that bugs me with recording is that you cannot change voices while playing along to recorded track. Minor annoyance compared to all the features it has. I am sure that after a year I have still only played with about half all its features. I like things like split that allows you to have one hand be one voice, and the other hand be the another voice. So my right could play piano while my left plays violins. Makes some pretty music that way. The metronome feature is nice for learning the beat. It has computer interface that I have not used yet that I want to explore some day. I ordered a Samson LTS50 Laptop Stand that i love with it. I set my laptop on the stand, then go to youtube videos that have music playing like guitar hero. As someone that has struggled being a great music reader, this guitar hero way of learning has changed my life. I change the speed on youtube to slow then speed up as i learn it. I can learn songs very fast, and its sorta like playing a PIANO HERO game while learning. These keyboards really help me learn. Just being able to so simply record, then play back also helps learning fast. I am going to try to get video up here to show a few features. There are cheaper keyboards out there that you should consider maybe if you just want to see if you like learning to play piano. There are vastly more expensive pianos out there if you are established player that wants to make records. This is perfect middle ground piano and I thank Alesis for making this piano. I saw a few negative reviews about what sounds like some major support issues. I have never had to deal with customer support so have no opinion on that simply because I have had no issues to complain to them about.. This is after more then a year of use where I would guess I put somewhere around 300+ hours of playing on it. I did get square trade 3 year warranty for 14.34 that I am hoping I will never need. looks like price on square trade 3 year warranty has dropped to under 9. Hope that is because they are having few warranty claims. Good luck with your keyboard shopping. So many choices it was not easy purchase for me, but I am very happy a year later with my choice.

We did a lot of research but ultimately my kiddo said: “I want the Alexis.” The place she takes piano lessons uses these, so it’s what she is used to. I checked with them on reliability (they have over 10 of these) and they haven’t had many issues. We’re 2 months in with this and it’s just awesome. The keys are very comfortable. It sounds good. The metronome is easy to use and tweak. The music holder could use to be sturdier, but otherwise it’s great ergonomically. And it sounds good, though the internal speakers leave a bit to be desired when set loudl (It has outputs for a this isn’t really an issue.) I haven’t tried MIDI over USB so no comment there. But the default sounds are plenty and we like the base piano tone. Overall: very happy we went with this model. I hope it lasts for many years,

As an adult beginner with some knowledge of basic piano skills and sheet music this digital piano is such a great value! Here are the criteria I was searching for: - Price: Under $400; this was $350 for me at time of purchase - 88 Keys - Weighted keys (it's not GHS, but there is definitely weight to them and fits my needs at this point) - Under 30 lbs: live in an apt and needed something portable - Basic features such as MIDI, additional voices, metronome. (I do wish it had bluetooth for headphones, and does not come with the pedal!). I was debating between this and the Yamaha P-71. I ultimately went w/ Alesis because of the features and price point. Although the Yamaha has weighted keys, it's actually not GHS and I was disappointed on that and the lack of updated features for the price point. Also the polyphony on the Yamaha was only 64?!?! The Alesis being newer than the P-71 has a polyphony of 128. You can't deny the smooth Yamaha sound, but after hours of research and comparison, the Alesis was the best fit for my needs. Overall I am so happy with the purchase and look forward to the journey :)

This product is OUTSTANDING! Durable, good quality sound and built-in speakers, great polyphony, good feel to the keys...Just a great value! The fully-weighted action feels very much like a grand piano, and the sound quality is very good. I purchased this 18 months ago as an adult beginner who was just starting-out from square one. I didn't have the money for lessons or an acoustic piano so I began by looking for a digital so I can teach myself, and this piano has been there for me every step of the way. There have been zero malfunctions and I have no complaints. I use it every day (sometimes for several hours per session) and it has held up to every bit of inexperienced pounding that I have dished out. This product is reasonably priced, it is of great quality, and I would recommend it to anyone...especially to beginners on a budget who want 88 full-weighted keys and good sound. I bought the M-Audio SP-2 pedal, and 1/4"-->1/8" headphone adapter so I can use my standard ear buds and play at night, and both add-ons work great with this piano. I thought a truly effective digital piano would run me too much money unless I compromised on the size or the action or the sound. This piano compromises nothing and I look forward to my daily practice, AND it did not run the price of the other brands. This is a flat-out fantastic value! This piano is my partner on my musical journeys! (Also, this digital has a cool feature once you hook-up a pedal: RESONANCE. Switched-on through the menu, this setting allows the piano to sound the resonance on the other strings that comes from striking a key with the pedal down on an acoustic piano. It sounds very beautiful!)

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.

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。

Ottimo !

Un qualité prix irréprochable, le son n’est évidement différend qu’un acoustique( un droit) mais la voix piano droit est intéressante. Touche assez lourd, ( pas assez pr ressembler à un droit ). Niveau sono, pas mal non plus. Même plus très bien

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...
