Carry-on49 Key Portable Folding Piano with Midi Controller, White Finish

I always wanted to play the piano. Carry on piano, along with good utube tutorials, are helping the whole family learn and enjoy piano music.

Never buy it as an essential training piano, it is only an Outdoors portable piano for intermittent use for fun

It was a good thing that it was lightweight & inexpensive & foldable so it takes up little space.However, after a month and a half of use, it started to produce no sound or a different sound except for the keys in the bottom and top areas.I will not buy again.

I have test the deviceits sound not so much as the same as real digital pianoand its keyboard a little bit smaller than real one .any way if you want it for child as the first device for trying is good

The sound is low, the keys are smaller than usual piano. You need to get use it. Difficult

Keys are too clicky and not full length. Works fine as a midi keyboard.

Only JUST found out about the existence of roll up & foldable pianos in 2024 & after watching a great review by a professional musician named Angelo comparing both. Opted for this between the 2 choices based on his arguments for it being logical & am extremely pleased but there’s a bunch of caveats. His reviews are extremely helpful.I loaned out my very nice weighted keyboard to a family member as the problem w/it was it took up space, got dusty & also hurt my fingers as I tend to play fast pieces. My pianist friend tells me it’s my technique.. in any case, the keyboard took too much space.The reason I would not recommend this for a child learning piano is weighted keys are important for learning expression but for myself my main goal is to learn finger placement for muscle memory. For that reason, one tone no pressure isn’t a problem for my needs.The keys were less clackety than I expected as I was expecting FAR worse based on reviews I watched but they do make some noise. Also because there’s no tone I don’t pound them which helps lessen the clacking. The speaker is atrocious however but headphones or a speaker will alleviate this issue. I have it hooked up to my Apple Hi-Fi or Roland RH-A7 headphones & it sounds incomparably better than the speakers it comes with. You definitely want headphones or an external speaker.I use an incredibly sturdy Rowenta ironing board to put the keyboard on. The ironing board is discontinued but recall the ad showing a gymnast doing a handstand on it.The keyboard looks delicate, however I am INCREDIBLY cautious with my tools so am not too concerned with wear & again I also don’t hit these keys super hard because there is no point. This is just a tool for muscle memory for playing the real thing.My only complaint is the black keys are too short & unfortunately most of the piecesI want to play have 4 sharps or 4 flats… hand size and feet size is proportional & my hands although not tiny, get pretty cramped. Angelo’s review mentioned this but his hands are MUCH larger than mine & he says there’s just certain pieces he cannot play on this.Usually I have hand span envy, but in this case happy for the lack of such. I play mostly Bach, Beethoven & Mozart & these pieces seem to work for this fantastic foldable piano. The foot pedal is meh, but you could probably substitute a full size pedal from what other reviewers have said?All in all I LOVE THIS tool🖤 It’s the coolest invention ever & if they ever make the keys longer, will definitely buy that one too.I’m sure there are more magnificent uses for people who compose music & record, but for myself those aren’t my primary goals so cannot speak intelligently to that.If a child were to use this to learn on, I would want to make sure they also have access at least occasionally to a real piano as habits when learning are important. For myself though the weighted keys aren’t necessary & actually prefer it not to be as plastic hurts my fingers when going super speed;)

La verdad para lo que cuesta está increíble: Está hecho de metal, es muy liviano y su sonido es sorpresivamente bonito. He visto otros más caros y no le llegan ni a la mitad a su calidad. En definitiva, una compra que vale mucho la pena. El único "pero" que le pondría es que no contiene estuche para transportarlo, pero bueno, para lo barato que es, me atrevo a decir que es la mejor alternativa de todas

I Love this tiny keyboard for traveling. Fits in a carry on and doesn’t take up a lot of space. Feels solid and has a nice sound. Ideal for teaching on the road.

This little keyboard has one main strength: it's incredibly small. It slips easily into a messenger bag or backpack, so you can really take it just about anywhere. I bought it for writing and playing while traveling, and for the price it's a great little accessory for that purpose. I don't think there's any other keyboard on the market that puts 49 keys into such a small space.The keys are full width, although they're not full length. They have no velocity sensitivity and very short travel with a clicky action, so the feel is somewhere between a piano and a synth controller. You can't use it for serious practice or performance, but it's decent for what it is. It plays comfortably on your lap or on a table.Overall the build quality is quite good, especially the magnetic closure when folded. The included sustain pedal is nothing special, but it's a nice touch and works just fine.The rechargeable battery and onboard speakers mean it can be totally standalone. Now the speakers are weak and tinny and clip above 70% volume on most patches, so they're not amazing... but it's nice to have them anyway. The sounds are a tad more passable when you can use headphones or an amp. Again, it's just good enough for casual play on the go. It has 128 general MIDI voices, but scrolling through them is such a hassle that I can't imagine I'll do it much. Still, kind of cool that they packed them in there. The built-in rhythms are also neat but honestly unlikely to get used, although the metronome could come in handy.Finally, it's surprisingly great as a MIDI controller. It worked immediately with GarageBand and Cubase on my laptop. This really opens up the sound options without needing much extra gear. The lack of velocity sensitivity means you still can't capture authentic piano, but the software patches sound a lot better than the onboard ones, and are much easier to navigate.All in all it's a worthwhile purchase with a few obvious shortcomings, but a lot of versatility if you know what you need it for.

Las ventajas son obvias, yo pedí el de 88 teclas y es asombroso como cabe en mi mochila aún con libretas y otras cosas.Da la sensación de pesar al rededor de un kilo compactado y su tamaño es similar a un paquete de 50 salchichas (no encontré con que más compararlo).Tiene 128 sonidos diferentes y muy bien tiempo de respuesta entre la tecla y el sonido.Lleva un par de bocinas integradas, además de su propia batería y eso lo hace muy portable.Además incluye su propio pedal se sustain (cuídalo mucho porque no tiene la entrada convencional de los otros pedales, se conecta a un puerto Jack de 3,5mm).Puedes practicar usando audífonos o conectarlo a alguna bocina.Le doy 5 estrellas a pesar de los inconvenientes (es muy útil cuando necesitas moverte sin cargar tanto y tienes otro teclado en casa)Las desventajas:1- Las teclas no tienen sensibilidad (ya sería mucho pedir) pues las teclas dan una sensación similar a un teclado de computadora.2- Al ser abatible te obliga a tenerlo en una superficie plana cómo una mesa (no se puede colocar en pedestal de teclado), y el de 88 teclas ocupa mucho espacio así que necesita una mesa grande.3- se carga por un puerto micro USB (¿Porque no lo hacen con USB :C ?... Pero no).4- Los sonidos parecen de juguete (aunque son decentes para una emergencia)PERO puedes mejorar mucho los sonidos usando el teclado como controlador MIDI y sacarle más provecho con software de computadora, Garage Band en iOS o BandLab en algunos dispositivos Android.También incluye cable micro USB, una bolsita para transportarlo y calcomanías con los nombres de las teclas para quien desee aprender.No lo recomiendo para ser tu primer teclado a menos que necesites llevarlo contigo a todos lados.
