Title: Good Value for the Price
Review: I bought this keyboard as a backup for my main keyboards - either my Roland VR-730 or Yamaha P-121. I wanted something small, with a good piano and electric piano sound. I originally bought the Yamaha NP12 which sounded ok, but the keys were not full size, so I had to return it. I'm happy to report the Roland Go:Piano does feature full sized keys.There's a few things I would change if I could - The controls are all "touch activated" - they are not physical buttons, so that is somewhat concerning to me. Also, they produce a "click" through the output to verify they've been activated, which is a bit annoying. Apparently, that can be turned off. There should be a 1/4" TS connector for audio output - instead it's a 1/8" mini jack, like for headphones. And for some reason, it doesn't like my sustain pedal - it works backward, and I can't find a switch on either the keyboard or the pedal. This is odd as the pedal works correctly with all my other keyboards, and I'm using a cheap Yamaha pedal that is working correctly. Perhaps that switch is buried somewhere deep in some menu.The action is as expected with a keyboard in this price range. The keys are not weighted, which I am willing to accept for a backup keyboard. They are touch sensitive however, and the sensitivity is adjustable through the menu - a nice feature.It is all plastic, and it feels like cheap plastic, but again, that is expected for a keyboard in this price range. On the plus side, it is very light weight, and compact. It would have been nice if it came with a gig bag, even a cheap one, but one should be able to be found without too much trouble.The instruction manual is a little lacking. For example, it says nothing other than "You can connect a pedal switch (sold separately DP series), and use it as a hold pedal" regarding the sustain pedal. The pedal I have which works backward is a generic pedal, so I may splurge for an DP series Roland pedal. I'm sure it'll be expensive.Overall, the sound quality is good. The piano sounds even better than my VR-730, and as good as the Yamaha P-121, and the electric piano, which is the sound I use most, is acceptable. Not quite as good as my other Roland or Yamaha, but good enough to use with the band. There are a few other sounds that are pretty good as well.So if you are looking for an inexpensive, compact, good sounding electric piano, this is a pretty good deal. I may make adjustments to this review going forward as I just received the unit and have only been playing it for an hour or so, but so far, I'm happy with the purchase.

Title: A Superb lightweight, portable, high quality keyboard!
Review: I've been playing the piano for over 45 years and this is my 4th keyboard/piano. I own a Boston GP 178 grand, a Technics KN6000, and a Yamaha p155 DP. I wanted a lightweight, high quality, full size key, portable keyboard for bringing anywhere...and I found this to be PERFECT! Although the keys aren't weighted, they feel great under the fingers and very fun to play. The piano sounds, as well as the other sounds, are GREAT!!. I believe the piano sounds are better or more authentic than on my Yamaha p155. Also, it looks fantastic!. My other option was to buy the Korg microkey air 61, but I wanted full size keys and I'm so happy I chose the Roland Go piano. As for CONS: not weighted keys, 61 keys instead of 88 (Some piano music, especially classical music needs 88 keys) HOWEVER, the other specs make up for this: full size keys, sound quality (piano, electric pianos, synths, vibes, guitar, drum kits, etc), lightweight, very fun to play, cost, Roland brand (not cheap Casio). If you play love playing piano or keyboards you will absolutely love this instrument! Folks, this is the one you want to buy. I LOVE it!!!

Title: Great Value
Review: 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 Iâm 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 âvoicesâ 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.

Title: Ultra Lightweight, Loud Speakers
Review: Positives:Loud speakers, battery operated (needs it otherwise doesn't store your settings), Bluetooth (with midi), comfortable touch sensitive keys, easy to useNegatives:Limited sounds, unable to create layered sounds (only what is stored), 1/8" output only, no midi out or USB connection, limited features in generalThe reason I wanted this was for the sounds that came with but at $300 maybe I can find something better.

Review: Este piano es el mejor dentro de su categorÃa, Roland ya es garantÃa de calidad, pero este piano supera por mucho a los pianos de su segmento.La relación precio calidad es inmejorable, sobretodo porque lo adquirà en los primedays.Tiene la tonalidad caracterÃstica de Roland, no aguda, como otras marcas, aunque algunos podrÃan opinar que es ligeramente opaca, porque además, muchas personas prefieren el sonido de los pianos agudos.Ocupa un mÃnimo de espacio, es muy compacto para ser un piano.Para principiantes, incluso para intermedios con necesidades de movilidad o con problemas de espacio o por economÃa, es la mejor opción, porque los otros pianos de 88 teclas de este precio son de mala calidad y suenan como juguetes no como un instrumento, para más avanzados que necesitan movilidad con el instrumento, serÃa más conveniente comprar uno portátil de mayor calidad, ya que el sonido de este piano, a pesar de que es bueno, no es como los Roland de gama más alta y definitivamente no suena como en los videos de Youtube o de la marca, aun con audÃfonos, ya que en esos videos, al parecer lo tienen conectado a equipos de grabación con ecualización.Tiene buen diseño se aprecia moderno y elegante.Las teclas se sienten muy bien, de buena calidad, no son ruidosas (no chasquean) aun cuando no son contrapesadas.Y llegó en tiempo y forma.Ya llevo tres meses usándolo intensamente por aproximadamente tres horas diarias de lunes a viernes (algunos domingos también) y todo muy bien!

Review: Adoro los sonidos que trae, bastante práctico y definitivamente desarrolla bastante la creatividad para los que estamos comenzando en la música.Tomen en cuenta lo siguiente si quieren comprarlo:-Solo tiene salida de sonido con jack 3.5 mm.-Las bocinas que trae están bastante bien, aunque si le das a tope con el volumen llega a distorsionar el sonido.-El metrónomo no se puede usar como herramienta.-La opción de grabación está bastante buena.-La sensibilidad de las teclas es buena, y modula ciertos efectos en determinados sonidos.-La opción Bluetooth es bastante práctica.Hasta aquà mi reporte, JoaquÃn, volvemos contigo al estudio.

Review: I played piano for ten years and just wanted something smaller I could jam on with a bunch of pre-loaded sounds. The Synth section of this keyboard is fantastic to play on, and really gets you into the 80's rock keyboard vibes. It is a great little keyboard. However, if you like playing songs that usually use a whole piano, its worth noting that it only has 5 octaves worth of room. But this is easily offset by the octave shift setting where you can literally raise or lower where middle C is located, so the 61 keys is not a huge ordeal. Speakers play very nicely and music from your phone comes out of it with nice quality.
