Alesis Talent 61-Key Portable Keyboard

I am totally blown away by this product! It has absolutely everything you could possibly want or need and then some! First it comes impeccably packaged. Nothing was left to chance during the shipping of this and it arrived in perfect condition. The assembly takes about 10 minutes as the stool just snaps into place, the stand requires one pin type screw, adjustment knob and the stabilization legs for the floor and keyboard. The music holder just pops in and so does the microphone and the headphones. The keys impressed me most as I grew up playing the piano and organ and they are just like the real thing. I have always wanted to relearn but didn't think I could afford to or had room in my house. This comes with everything you need, including free access to music for several months! Now I can reteach myself and my daughter is learning, too! The headphones are a little cheap even though they actually work well enough but considering a decent pair of headphones cost as much as this entire system plus music, just do what I did and plug in your own. My daughter actually likes the included headphones and I do agree that they are probably good for children as they are lightweight and do have decent sound quality. If you are looking for a complete system with everything included, especially for a beginner or just inexpensive family fun, this is it! Definitely will be purchasing for my nieces as a Christmas gift this year!

My 9 year old set his up right out of the box. It comes with an instruction manual to learn all the bells and whistles but can be played just as soon as it comes! It has a stool to rest your feet and wrist as you play. The sound is pretty decent for a keyboard. There is a wire holder that keeps your book up and open while playing. It comes with headphones to keep it quiet. I would only suggest a holder for the microphone. It's hard to play a keyboard and hold a microphone at the same time!
