AiJoy Digital Piano Keyboard Hammer Weighted 88 Keys Full Size Electric Piano for Beginners with LCD Display and

The media could not be loaded. We have a non-weighted piano we are able to compare this to, also made by AIJOY. The action on this keyboard is decidedly different and improved. The keys are soft and heavy, like a real piano. The weighted action does make the overall keyboard heavier. The sound is impressive and this one comes with a lot of features, like tempo kits and drum keys etc. good for a beginner. The black keys are pretty light and visibly a lower grade grained plastic, but they still play very well. The faux wood grain texture almost seems metallic, very dense and does not seem like it will chip, but no doubt the particle board is part of the weight. For us we are enjoying just playing a lot again and are also very active with Ableton Note on our iPhone. We can sample straight into the app from the piano using the midi USB that comes with it. It has a bluetooth speaker so if you have composed something and want to play along with it, you can by sending the file from your phone to the piano speaker. This one cost about 1/3 more than the basic non-weighted key piano, which we still love and is very easy to also connect to midi. The core difference is in the keys and sustain, which is either built in or you can use the pedals that come with it. You can also record straight into the piano electronics on the main dash. The display is easy to read and very intuitive. While we love the simpler model for someone learning and doing a lot with midi like us, this opens up exploration pretty quickly. We are not thrilled with the little angled legs from a design point of view, but that is just us. We have gone from no piano in many years to playing almost daily again. So very worth it to us. No tuning, minimal cleaning. It also comes with a velvetine cover, which is ok at best. They put the quality into the piano and that is what makes this midi-friendly board worthwhile. PS the bluetooth device you are looking for is GZUT-MUSIC. Read more

The media could not be loaded. This digital piano arrived quickly, was well packaged, and looks great once assembled. Assembly was straightforward, and I appreciated that Phillips bolts were used, which makes setup and future tightening much easier. The legs are metal with a smooth wood-look finish, giving the piano a very sturdy feel while maintaining a sleek, modern appearance. The keys feel very similar to an acoustic piano, and the sound is genuine and full. We currently own a player piano but are downsizing, and this has been a perfect alternative—providing a full keyboard experience while saving a significant amount of space. It includes a variety of extra functions that make it especially fun and engaging for kids, along with useful accessories such as a music holder, music clip, and pedals. The only thing I would love to see is a matching stool option, though the neutral color makes it easy to pair with seating you may already have. Given the overall build quality, realistic sound, included features, and space-saving design, the price feels very fair for what you’re getting. Overall, this is a great digital piano that comes very close to the real thing without taking up too much space. Read more
