After three weeks the keyboard stopped working. I contacted the seller, Chamberlain music and they replaced it straight away with a new keyboard. No problems since.

Every one who wants to creat music should get a mini key keyboard like this. The small factor makes chord and key relationships easier to spot and easier to create music. Keys are touch sensitive and light. Works great. I have a small hand and own a Yamaha p515. This unit brings more creativity due to the form factor and I can easily do a ocative +1 on one hand while I cannot on a full-size key board. Yamaha is great with pc integration. I plugged it in to iMac running latest Big Sur. It instantly becomes a midi controller and works with Logic. Like a charm. The sound quality is good as far as a 99$ goes. There is not many choice of mini key. The only alternative is korg micro key and it’s Microkorg. Korgs keys are better quality and more money but they have issue with latest macOS so I return korg, sad.

lo mejor: por el tamaño es perfecto para el escritorio como input para el DAW, pero también es portátil y de pilas para trabajar ideas en cualquier lugar. No lo considero un instrumento infantil.El arpegiador es increíble: tiene muchos arpegios que además son congruentes con el programa seleccionado, por lo que los arpegios para piano son armónicos, y los de batería pues son patrones de batería bastante reales. Puedes dejar sonando un arpegio automático con un instrumento y cambiar a otro instrumento para hacer la melodía encima. Ya que tiene una grabadora (de memoria algo limitada, sin overdub), pero puedes dejar reproduciendo en loop 2 capas y tocar encima otras dos capas, por lo que se pueden ejecutar hasta 4 instrumentos: inicias un arpegio con bateria, cambias a bajo, y grabas un loop de esas 2 cosas. después reproduces el loop y pones un arpegio para la armonía y puedes dejarlo tocando y cambiar a otro instrumento para la melodía.También es muy intuitivo: mi hija le agarró la onda el primer dia.Además ya conectado al DAW de una pc usando el midi usb, las posibilidades se multiplican ! ya que los arpegios los puedes enviar para capturar el midi en el piano roll, y separar por canales los instrumentos.

First of all , I''m not a musician . I decided to get into music after seeing ads for many different keyboards priced from $50 to $150 . After researching many different ones , I decided on the Yamaha PSS-A50 . I've always loved Yamaha products and wanted something compact . It just arrived today , and WOW , I can't put it down . This thing is just jam-packed with features . It still has it's limitations , though . But for $100 you don't expect a Moog synth. ! There is only one sound I haven't been able to achieve - the sound of a steel drum . Some day when I learn how to use the midi function , I should be able to produce that unique tropical sound . I highly recommend this pss-a50 to anyone with a hundred bucks to spend that is looking for a great quality compact keyboard for a great low price . If you want to further investigate this instrument , the owners manual is downloadable ( pdf Amazon ) .

Suena de maravilla, los menus sencillos, una cantidad de variedad sin igual uso incluso semiprofesional (segun los videos), cuando me llegue lo podre confirmar, amazon dice que esta entregado y DHL dice que esta en camino. sigo esperando.

I needed a small keyboard for my kids to practice piano during our vacation, the keyboard we have is a standard one (88 keys). I ordered this mini keyboard and I’m very pleased with it. It has everything for practice on the go, the size is perfect, It’s battery operated and the sound is pretty good; they keys response is amazing. Keep in mind the size of the keys are smaller. I agree with one of the reviews about when you take it out of the box it gives you the feeling of a toy, it’s smaller than I thought, lighter and it looks fragile, but once you try it, play it, you can tell it’s not a toy! it worth every penny. It’s fragile, so you will need a storage case for it. I ordered the LTGEM EVA Hard Storage Case for Alesis V25 | 25 Key USB MIDI Keyboard Controller - Travel Protective Carrying Bag (outer dimensions 22.2" L – 9" W – 3" H.) and it fits like a glove. I’m attaching pictures.

Great tone, pressure-sensitive keys, MIDI, very portable. This is perfect for a beginner learning their way around the keyboard or for travel. It is more expensive than some small keyboards, but the sound, weight, and general feel make up for the price. The built-in speaker is small and only useful for practice, but it's fine for that application, and you can easily connect headphones or your computer for endless possibilities. Good stuff.

Amazing little travel keyboard. It's not a "real instrument" but rather something to bring on a bus or train. I can't look at screens in cars or vehicles because I get sick. This is a great little travel keyboard with good sounds. Not the best for input output though. Only has USB and headphone jack. Works as a midi controller too!

If you gave this to me without the branding and without knowing anything about it I would not have guessed it was a Yamaha product, nor would I guess that it cost a hundred bucks.It has a lot of "features" and a ton of versatility, which brings it up from a 3-star, but only just barely. The core of it just isn't that great. The keyboard itself just feels cheap. The sound is actually pretty decent. Although the volume levels of some of the instruments is hugely different from the others, which seems like a basic quality control issue and one of those things that would make you think this was some cheap knock-off instead of a proper Yamaha instrument. On top of that, when using headphones there is a noticeable level of noise (hiss), even though it's fairly quiet.The structure is also not very sturdy, but there's good news and bad news there. The bad news is that mine was warped enough that it wouldn't sit flat with all four feet on a table, with maybe a full quarter inch of movement between the feet. The good news is that the body of the keyboard is so soft that you can just apply a very modest amount of force to bend it and make it sit flat (which is what I did).OK, enough complaining, what are the good things about it? Being able to use batteries makes it very convenient. As I mentioned, the actual sounds it makes are not half bad given the price. The keys are actually reasonably velocity sensitive, which is pretty impressive for a cheap portable keyboard. It's also very portable. Overall, it makes for a decent instrument for practicing or noodling around. I just wish that it had a little bit more attention put into the hardware side at this price level.

Excellent sounds on this little keyboard. Sounds heavy-duty on batteries with 1/8 " plugged in to portable Bose speaker. Fills the room with sound without hauling out my big gig powered speakers. I just wanted a couple of solid piano and organ voices and ways to tweak those. Love the velocity sensitive keys with three diff settings for key response ( heavy touch, stand, light touch, equal tone regardless of velocity). Ultra portable. I could stuff this in a backpack. Didn't know something like this existed. Internal speaker fine for just me- too soft for playing with others. 1/8" output jack means I can go big or small in output. Minikeys were tricky at first, but I'm getting used to them. Band already has keyboard player soam just adding embellishment which I can do easily with right-hand on this smaller keyboard. Jigs, reels, slip jig fingerings are actually easier because of my small hands. It's not comparable to my Korg X50, but it's not meant to be. I can't stuff that synth into a backpack with some batteries and play anywhere. Good purchase. Haven't tried midi work with it yet.
