Review

This is a cheaper option compared to the entry-level keyboards from Casio and Yamaha. It has 61 keys and lots of features, although it doesn’t come with touch-sensitive keys (required for serious playing). The piano keyboard is equipped with all sorts of features, including modern features such as MP3 Input and USB port.

The Plixio 61-key full size piano keyboard comes with a lesson mode that includes several keyboard & piano lessons, to help you understand rhythm and practice different chord combinations. While these can never replace a human piano teacher, the lesson mode offers enough useful lessons that can help you increase your playing ability.

This is a nice starter instrument for young beginners. The smaller size makes it easy for kids to transport back and forth from school or music lessons. However, the sound quality and build quality is not that great (as per the price). Casio and Yamaha are way better but they would cost more than double (their entry-level model). So buy this only if you’re low on budget, or if its for a kid to have some fun.
