Roland GO:PIANO 88-Key Full Size Beginner Digital Portable Piano Keyboard with Onboard Bluetooth Speakers and Sustain Pedal

After researching digital pianos my realization was that I should prioritize the release date of the product: these pianos are essentially computers, and the sound quality is determined by its polyphony - this model is relatively new and has 128 note polyphony, Many pf the popular Yamahas, which I’m sure are good, have been around for 5 or more years and support only 64 simultaneous notes. So processing power is important. Bluetooth is also important if you plan to use a learning software using your tablet or phone (as a side, I am an adult and teaching myself the piano, tried a few - and these software courses are not the way to go, imo). The other benefit of Bluetooth is that you can connect the piano to a wireless speaker for better quality and so, the built-in speakers are not that important. This model also has a built in metronome, which is also convenient because of course, ability to use a headset and practice in silence is a big reason why I wanted a digital piano to begin with. Of the 4 ‘voices’ this model comes with, I use the piano the most and it is very pleasant to ear - this was confirmed to me by family members who play an acoustic piano and can tell the difference. The use interface - several push buttons is very easy to use, and to me the simplicity isa big plus - it is great not to have visual disruption of LCD screens and digital interfaces. Finally, I find the keys pleasant to touch, the build quality is solid, and for this price point, I think it is great. It takes many years to learn piano, especially if you want to read sheet music, so, no need to be too stressed about this device being just like a piano. To learn to play, it is perfect, and I enjoy this device every day.

Smooth and good for practice or to travel light weight

Great sounding keyboard that took my kids into the world of music. It can be placed virtually anywhere but we have a special stand and chair. Easy to transport, eg, for a showcase performance in a local park, and it can run on batteries.PS Be prepared to listen to music in organ tone!

Great for beginner. One problem though, although it supports Bluetooth, it's not for Bluetooth headphones. You can connect your phone and play music from your phone to the speakers on the piano, but you can't have the audio play out of your headphones. I was super bummed (and sort of confused) when I realized this limitation. You can still plug in wired headphones at least.

Excellent piano with amazing sound all in a full sized portable yet stationary if desired electronic Roland Piano. Ability to use clear multi speakers to play along to your music from your iPhone makes it even more enjoyable and exciting to play. This piano is priced PERFECTLY yet had the quality of Roland tuning and sound. I highly recommend.sdf

arrived late- minus 1 starSound quality it good but wish it could get much louder.Portable BUT HEAVY- not coolcan adjust weight of keys -coolhas bluetooth and headphone connection and pedal-super cool

EDIT: Finally Skoove returned our messages and all is right with the world now.2 stars to hopefully get some attention.The keyboard is excellent but unfortunately the Skoove company doesn't return emails or answer their FB messages to provide their free online lessons. Also the GO88 doesn't even show up in their product registry for the lessons. This is disheartening as the lessons were somewhat important in making the decision to buy the keyboard.

The media could not be loaded. I plugged it in without the batteries, adjusted the volume, and pushed the power button. The button lit up but the unit is not on. I installed the batteries. plugged the unit in. But the button does not stay lit. And no other buttons light up either.I turned off the cell phone and tried the same thing with no other electronic device on. But no sound at all, the light doesn't stay on.There is power to the unit folks. It should be working, it is energized.
