Coolmusic Beginner Digital Piano 88 Key Keyboard, Portable Electric Piano with Sustain Pedal, Power Supply

Far More Advanced Than I Am
I got this keyboard for the grandkids to bang around on when they come visit. I thought I would brush up on my nursery rhymes too, which still entertains them. That would be a really cute story if the oldest grand kid wasn’t 12!I didn’t try to plug this into a phone or the computer. I just played it and checked out the 30 most unrecognizable demo tunes in history. Would it have killed them to throw in some Elton John or some Billy Joel?This came in a big box and you finally get to a soft side vinyl case. Inside is the folded keyboard which snaps in place very easily. It has a music sheet holder, but no stand. It says the initial charge should be 6 hours, and 5 after that. It will play four continuous hours on a full charge.It has a push button metronome to help you keep your beat and many different “voices” for the keyboard that can change with a push of a button. The keys will light as you touch them and can probably be used for a training mode that we won’t use. I haven’t had one of these in thirty years and even the beginner model blows the old models away….at a lower price.I’m teaching my granddaughter “Mary Had a Little Lamb” and it keeps her interest that I can make it sound different each time. Great for what I need.

Works great, flawless design
I love how quick and easy it was to set up this keyboard piano, it folds out and clicks in. The keys feel great to press and lights up a small red light when pressed. It has a cool and interesting variety of tones to select from when pressing the tone button and scrolling through them with the scroll wheel. I love the minimalistic look the allows this keyboard to not take up much depth space on my desk. It comes with a black carrying case to take on the go folded. It also has 4 aux ports on the back for things like headset, mic, and the included sustain pedal. I like that the piano can be powered and charged with just the common USB C cable (the included charging cable and aux cord are very short). Overall, I am very happy with getting this to practice my piano skills.

Lots of features for the money
For this keyboard’s $139.99 price, it packs in a ton of stuff.It’s a good/not awesome keyboard, but the amount of stuff you get for your money is what makes this strong.Here’s what’s good: The keyboard itself is big/full-sized, and solid. The steel-pin hinges unfold nicely; there’s a plastic catch which locks it open. The action on the keys is uniform, even at the hinge-point.It comes pre-loaded with 128 instruments. There are nice LEDs (red and subtle) for each key. There are pre-loaded demo songs. A “teaching” mode. A metronome. There are Bluetooth and MIDI connectivity, too.It comes with a surprisingly nice zippered carry case. A plug-in sustain pedal. A sheet-music easel. A cable and USB charger. All of which can stow nicely inside the case, which is awesome.It also features an internal battery which I haven’t been able to run out yet. I like that the red LED for charging turns blue when fully charged. It has stereo speakers which aren’t too bad. It has a headphone jack, which is great if you want to play without disturbing others nearby.Here’s what’s not-so-great about it:The pre-programmed sounds, while plentiful, are each very limited. It sounds like they sampled, for example, one single note on an acoustic piano, and then just pitch-changed it 88 times. Ditto for all the other instruments. Again, this is all about the price: If this were an expensive/brand-name keyboard, that would be a deal-breaker. Here, not so much.I found the action on the keys to be borderline-annoyingly firm. They’re described as “weighted,” but I would simply call them “spring-loaded.” While they are acceleration-sensitive, they’re difficult to modulate.The device has crashed on me more than once. The sustain feature, using the pedal, will often crash/fail to disengage when you lift off the pedal.Using headphones, when not playing/between notes, I could distinctly hear a local AM radio station coming through in the background; talk about distracting.The included owner’s manual has lots of omissions; it doesn’t even tell you how to unlock/re-fold the keyboard. It includes no illustrations except for screen shots of totally outdated software that’s not even included with the device.So while I have lots of minor carps, I’m well aware that this isn’t a professional piece of equipment. So it’s still pretty great at what it does, especially for the price. I’m rating it at three stars, given its overall performance. But you might want to add a star, depending on how the specifics of my review resonate with you. I hope this helps!

This is a great beginner’s piano. I got this for my 8-year-old daughter. She is not interested in formal piano lessons, she just likes to learn on her own via YouTube and a few other internet sites. After about a month or so, she can already play a few songs. Some days she may spend an hour or two on the piano and other days she spends zero time. We don’t know how long she will maintain an interest in learning. For these reasons, this is the perfect piano for her. It is not an expensive high-end piano nor is it a low-end piano, it’s more in the middle of the pack.This piano sounds very clean and clear. The fact it is portable is a bonus, it can run for a few hours on battery power, so if she wants to take it with her to a friends, there is no need to take the cords. The build quality seems good. It seems to be well-made. We have not noticed any quality issues, no misaligned or sticking keys, or any other issues.One thing about this piano is how simple it is to use. It’s not like many other electric keyboards that have a hundred buttons. This one has all the basics covered and is very simple to just start learning and playing. It can connect to your computer or tablet to follow along with online piano lessons or utilize various music software, although we have not tried this yet, so I can’t comment on that aspect.So far my daughter has been enjoying using it and likes having it around to use when she wants. She is a beginner and that is the primary target of this piano. So are we are happy with it.

My kids love this keyboard. It’s a great beginner piano. It has 88 keys, a sustain pedal, and a power supply. It’s portable so you can take it anywhere. It has multiple power supply modes, including a USB port, a power adapter, and a built-in lithium battery. After a full charge, you can use it continuously for 4 hours. It’s highly recommended.
