Artesia PE-88 Arranger Keyboard Piano with Full Size Velocity Sensitive Keys - 88 Key Semi-Weighted Keyboard Workstation - Portable Electric Piano Keyboard with 137 Voices & 100 Backing Track Styles

This keyboard is a "Sleeper" for this 2023-2024 season. It has remarkable applications for all genres of music. The price is definitely a bargain! Although it has limitations for on-board sounds, there is another application to use an external device to increase the sound library. It comes with an owner's manual that is easy to understand. One really needs to program the keyboard to enjoy what it has to offer. First thing to do is run a scale across the keyboard, This is a reset/release to the keys so they will behave much like an actual piano. It has a different touch for a lightweight portable keyboard, and it's to be expected. One can adjust the touch sensitivity, and find what works for their finger touch. I play professionally, and use this keyboard when I work with several bands. It gives me enough basic sounds to cover the basic piano sounds for an evening of musical success. The EQ adjustment works well to brighten up some of the sounds for a more enhanced sound. Like I said earlier, program this keyboard to your sonic tastes and you won't be disappointed. I found this keyboard to be ideally suited for another venue of my music. Money well invested!

For a budget piano with semi-weighted keys, the PE-88 sounds very good. Action is as expected for a semi-weighted design - certainly not hammer-like, but far better than purely spring-loaded keys. Build quality of the main unit feels pretty solid.Keys squeak a tiny bit when played, but can only hear when volume is ultra low.Supplied music stand seems like it should hold up pretty well, so long as you don't get rough with it. (It's plastic, and so are the tangs which seat into the keyboard to hold it in place.)Built-in metronome is easy to use and extremely useful.Aux port allowing for practice and/or performance with recorded music - this feature is fantastic.The pedal supplied is nothing special, but it functions well enough.Power supply cable is pretty standard - approx 5-6 feet. Unless your piano is set up very near an outlet, prepare to bring an extension of some kind.Overall the PE-88 plays very well, and seems an excellent instrument for its price point.

We purchased this for our daughter’s birthday and for her first piano as it looked less intimidating than learning on our grand pianos.Originally we received a unit that had been damaged during delivery, the seller was very helpful and quickly replaced our piano. I really appreciated the timely response and quick assistance.The piano has numerous features:Built in MetronomeBuilt in tunerAbility to record and playback (rec 3 slots)25+ sound settings with each allowing pitch and tone customizing‘Fill in’ mode(Included) pedal(Included) Piano sheet standAbility to plug mic in to add vocals or to create SFXInput for micOutput for external speakersUSB port for connecting to computerFree App (not necessary to operate, but a decent app nonetheless) for learning and tuningFor a beginner/amateur player this piano is well built and possesses many professional features at a great value.I would recommend this to others.

Very fast delivery. Really satisfied with the product. Here’s my review.The order came in 5 days, with all the attachments. I had to email the seller for the software’s, to which the sent me the link. I still have to try it.The keyboard feels great. I have used Yamaha digital pianos before and obviously this isn’t up to the same quality, but for the price it’s great. Keys are semi weighted, so the action isn’t too bad, it’s decent. Can compare to the Casio digital pianos starting range. The grand piano sounds are amazing, its clean and not muddy. I was looking for a smaller digital piano for the longest time because I had an 88 keys before and it wasn’t easy to carry it around for gigs, as I am a tiny person.The EP sounds are a little plastic, so I wouldn’t use it. I don’t use the other sounds so it doesn’t matter to me, but the organ and the piano sounds are great. Overall in the budget it’s a great buy, one can easily compare to the Yamaha np-12 series, but this is way better in the price range for a smaller size digital piano.

I took piano lessons for six or seven years when I was growing up. I often played for Sunday school. However fifty some years later I had lost it all. Most of my interest for the past twenty years has been guitar but I had a longing to get back into piano again. I had several criteria for my situation; I had no room for a piano so it would have to be a smaller footprint like a keyboard; it had to have the quality of a piano including all 88 keys that strike and feel like piano keys; and it had to be affordable since I did not know how much of my piano playing skill could be revived. I selected the Artesia 88 key piano after reading the reviews and considering all the options. I'm very happy. I've had it for a month now and with the help of youtube, online sheet music, and a couple of instruction books I think I'm going to move ahead nicely with my skills. The things I like best: 88 keys (very important for many piano pieces), great feel on the keys, nice size and weight to move around my office, excellent sound even without additional amplification, good volume control, and it has pretty extensive voice selection, but for now I'm just using piano. Its offered as a beginner keyboard, but I find nothing limiting about it. I plan to use it until I outgrow it - which probably won't happen

I pressed the keys. They are not truly weighted. If you've touched real weighted keys, this is not that. The keys won't make a sound unless you slam your fingers harder than necessary. Sometimes not even making a sound. The thud of the keys is as loud as the note they make. It disrupts me as I play. Not worth it for the price tag. I regret passing on yamaha. My previous yamaha did not disappoint
