Alesis Prestige Artist – 88 Key Digital Piano with Full Size Graded Hammer Action Weighted Keys, Multi-Sampled Sounds, Speakers, FX and 256 Polyphony

Great electric keyboard for a great price!
I bought this to replace a “used to me 30 years ago” regular piano. I wanted something electric due to fluctuating humidity issues in our home and the ability to use headphones to practice when others in the house are sleeping. I researched many different electric keyboards and settled on this one. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase! I also like the free lessons that come with it (although I haven’t used them yet due to lack of time for those wishing to learn piano). The sound quality is great and I am pleased with how it feels much like a real piano with many other features. I love the layering of sound features that is available. I would recommend this to beginners and experienced piano players. It is much more easily portable than a regular piano. I have had this since September 2022 and have yet to try all of the features, but I intend to once life settles down a bit. Overall, a great purchase and well worth the money. The bench is study and the accessory pedal was well worth the extra money as well.

I wish I could like it more, but…
I searched the internet for quite a while, and thought I would try out this keyboard, and wanted to like it, but I have some issues with it. Be forewarned though, I’ve been playing violin for eleven and a half years, and my ears are super particular. The thing that I noticed first was the quality of the speakers. It’s cool that it has 8 speakers or whatever, but what does it matter when some of them buzz even when the volume is off? I’ll admit, most people wouldn’t notice this, and even my friend who’s been playing piano since he was 8 didn’t notice this until I showed him. The quality was not bad, but I found that if you really clunked hard on the lowish mid-range keys, the speakers had trouble not fuzzing and distorting the sound. My family couldn’t tell though, so you probably won’t either unless you have super sensitive ears. But maybe I got unlucky with the speakers. Some people seem really happy with this product.I’d say this is perfect for beginners who want to spend $600, except for the fact that you could get something cheaper like the recital grand which is $100, and only has less polyphony (how many different sounds the speakers can play at the same time), no display, and less voices. Most people consider it the best keyboard under $500.Don’t get me wrong, the piano sounds aren’t bad, they don’t beat a real piano’s, but for how much it costs (with all the other features included) it’s pretty good. But if you want them to sound better, use headphones or connect it to an amp.The key action was the second thing that bothered me. It’s so loud. This is probably the most complained subject throughout the reviews. They feel pretty good, they’re definitely weighted, but you can barely tell that they’re graded. It is much harder to press the keys closer to the back, but that’s a problem with most electronic keyboards. Another thing is that the keys feel so plasticky to me. Nothing like ivory, just straight up plastic.Now the voices. Most of them are fine, I personally enjoyed the poly-synth the most, but some of them, especially the vibraphone, are very distorted near the top and bottom of the keyboard. The upright piano had the least distortion and out-of-tune-ness (I don’t know how else to say it) out of the piano sounds, but it still had problems at the very bottom.I contacted alesis support, but they were stupid and didn’t answer both of my tickets for two weeks, and I returned this last minute, because I’d rather try something else.My verdict is that unless you are a beginner who wants to spend $600 on a keyboard, don’t bother with this one. Do more research and get something else.

Good for beginner / intermediate
Weighted keys, full range keys , quite adequate for small rock group. If you’re looking for professional performance instrument with a zillion different sounds, keep looking , this won’t meet your needs , but is quite hot for average user

Would recommend for non-professionals of any level
After doing my research I’ve chosen this one and never regretted it. It was a surprise gift for a family member who is a beginner, so all apps it came with were in handy.

Model I have: Alesis Prestige Artist – (30 Voices/256 notes polyphony)Context:I’m no pianist. So take this with a grain of salt. Learning to play the piano is a bucket-list item, and a bit of an old dream.Pros/cons.The piano is well packaged.Very sober & classy appearance.Menu is simple to use & understand.Sound through both speakers and headphones is very impressive both in quality and volume-wise.Keys are solid-feeling, a bit “thumpy” on the return, but not a deal breaker.Sustain pedal is a solid affair.After watching many “For beginners” piano reviews and lists of suggested models at I’ve realized that most suggestions are overboard on budgets required. One piano teacher running a YT channel called “Jeremy See” suggested a Alesis amongst others in a video, and after watching a load of vids, I kept coming back to this one. So, It’s now in my studio.I’ve made my choice a while ago, and perhaps recommendations around the web have changed, but my mind was set.

Toucher et sonorité agréables.Très étonné de la qualité, du poids et de la robustesse pour ce prix.

普通のピアノを引いてるみたいに感じます!MIDIキーボードとして最高でコスパも良いです
