Carry-on 88 Key Folding Piano - Ultra-Portable and Full-Sized with 128 Voices and USB MIDI Connectivity - Travel Piano Keyboard Perfect for Practice, Travel, and Performances - White

The media could not be loaded. In general, I love this product for the value. I’ve had it for four days now. I purchased this for getting serious learning piano with the intention of buying a better piano later once I got familiar with options many digital keyboards offer. So for me, I was looking for something affordable, all 88 keys, and easy to transport so that it may still have a purpose once I upgrade later. It definitely feels like a kids toy being lightweight and lots of clicking plastic, but that isn’t stopping me from learning with it. I’m mostly using apps that recognize audio, and it works fine for that. My biggest gripe is the sticky ‘E’ key on the edge doesn’t always spring back up all the way - but it still works.PROS88 keys.Easy to store and transport when folded.Less than 4 pounds.Has a tote bag with a snap.8 hour rechargeable battery.Wires along hinges look well protected.Works great as midi controller over USB.

Could have used first 10 piano keys as a number pad while holding sound or Accompaniment Buttons.A key tends to stay halfway down sometimes.No Bluetooth as midi controller or headphones.Lots of clicking plastic.Volume not high enough for parties or public spaces.Unable to lock into a rigid position to put on piano stand.Rubber feet look like they’ll fall off over time.No enumerated list of instruments, accompaniments, or demo songs to reference.No pedal for soft notes.Black keys are a bit short in height.Quarter inch lip of plastic in front of keys.Segments tend to slide off pegs when folded. You may want a strap or rubber band to hold it together.No storage IO for music, instruments, or accompaniments such as microSD, USB drive, or Bluetooth.

If your expectations are for a realistic feel of a piano, which some of the negative comments stated, those are unrealistic expectations from ignorance. If, however, you are looking for an 88-note foldable keyboard that, as a professional, you can put in your backpack or put on your bike pannier or carry on a plane - there is nothing like it. It is a bit fragile but just reasonable care is fine. You wouldn't want to step on it. And no, the onboard sounds aren't great, but you can MIDI into your computer and do whatever you want. This is smartly designed and a much needed and long-awaited keyboard for those of us needing a portable option.

I am a professional musician with several quality Yamaha keyboards. I bought this to grab in the middle of the night when a song idea came to mind and I didn't want to go out to the studio. I literally use it in bed on my lap. I like that it can midi and charge with standard usb; no schlepping special power or connection cords. It is delightfully lightweight, foldable, and thus very portable. It works best when set on a flat surface to hold together; on a lap it can bend/fold up. Do yourself a favor and plug in a pair of headphones before you play and you will like it better. The speakers are an afterthought and so unresponsive that some of the lower-end tones can't even be heard. The electric piano voice, 005, is adequate for my purposes; I don't care for any of the others which is ok because I don't have to scroll through all the voices to get to my favorite. There is no numeric keyboard input for the voices/rhythms/accompaniments so you have to repeatedly use the forward or back button to find what you need. The action is sloppy and makes clunky noises when keys are pressed but I can live with that in an inexpensive 'bed piano'. For me, the convenience of this small, portable keyboard is worth the price paid, $59. That said, I can only recommend the Carry On for limited uses like my grab-n-play 'bed piano'; if you want something that sounds and plays better treat yourself to a more capable keyboard.
