Customer Reviews

Excellent keyboard
This is a great keyboard if you're just getting into creating music with programs such as garageband. The keyboard works perfectly straight out of the box and the keys have a surprisingly nice feel to them. With velocity sensitive keys, you can create natural sounding pieces. Recommended.

Nice portable keyboard
This keyboard is a basic portable usb-midi controller, cheaper than others with the same features. It is worthy.

Excellent value
This worked with my iBook G4 running GarageBand and Sibelius straight out of the box. My high school students have been using it for performances and, while it seems a bit flimsy, it hasn't broken. Overall, very good value for money, in my view.
