Alesis Melody 61 MK4 Keyboard Piano for Beginners with 61 Keys, Speakers, Stand, Bench, Headphones, Tablet/Sheet Music Stand, 300 Sounds and Music Lessons

I ordered this 61-key piano for my son who turned 5, and it arrived in perfect condition. It works exactly as described and was easy to set up. I specifically chose the older version after reading that many customers had issues with the newer one—and I’m glad I did. The sound quality is great for a beginner, and all the features function well. No complaints so far. Highly recommend choosing the previous model if you want reliability!

My grandson looks like a real rock star when he sits at his new keyboard and learns to play. Good quality sound for the $$.

My kids love to play on it, they fight over it often. It has a song button that can play actual classical pieces. I bought this because I wanted my child to start learning to play piano from home, just small little lessons here and there, also it's great that this piano has a piano book holding stand it's so very helpful. We also don't have the space for a real piano, so this one will do just fine. We all like it, performance it great, volume is adjustable, sound effects and recording your songs works too.

We had an antique upright piano in our home when I was a kid. It was a family heirloom, having previously belonged to the family's Favorite Uncle, and left to us when he passed. I plunked on it from time to time, but never got serious about learning to play it. I had other homework to do and the local woods to explore. I recently acquired a book of a favorite author's (Tolkien) poems set to music. There was one song in particular that I wanted to sing, but my sight-reading skills are not what they once were, so I needed a keyboard's assistance to help me learn the song. Hence with my purchasing this Alesis Melody 61. I like the size of the keyboard. With only 61 of a piano's usual 88 keys, it fits nicely into an available spot in my living room, without my having to significantly rearrange my furniture. For most purposes, 5 octaves of keys is sufficient. It was easy to assemble, and I had it up and ready to play in just a few minutes after opening the box. I was able to play through several exercises in the piano lessons books I also purchased, and to fumble through the Hymn to Varda section of "I Sit Beside the Fire" from my Tolkien book. I had a nice feeling of accomplishment by the end of the evening. There are a few areas where there is room for improvement. They keys are a bit stiff, and require more strength to strike and hold than does an actual piano, which can be a bit frustrating. They are also not sensitive to the amount of force used, so the volume the keyboard produces remains the same whether you are lightly pressing or vigorously pounding the keys. Playing dynamic changes in a piece of music is impossible with this keyboard. The tones the keyboard plays are distinctly artificial, too flat and robotic with that harsh, square digital edge common in auto-tuned vocals; it is lacking the analog warmth of an actual piano. The bottom line is that is this a $120 keyboard. It is completely sufficient for learning basic keyboard techniques or plunking out a line of notes to learn the melody of a song from a sheet of music. If you're looking to learn how to play piano, this will get you 80% of the way there. Dynamic control (changing the loudness/softness of the music) is an important part of that skill, though, and you will not learn it with this keyboard. You will also not produce beautiful music with this keyboard, because of the lack of dynamics and the quality of the tones. This is a fine, inexpensive first keyboard to use while figuring out if you want to make the investment in something more "serious". Just don't expect that you're going to use it for your debut at Carnegie Hall!

This is a fantastic keyboard for anyone who doesn’t need crazy special effects. I’ve been using it for a month with my vocal coach and we both love it! It’s great quality, was really easy to put together and the stand + seat fold down to make it easy to store in a spare closet when not in use. There are some great features (my fave is the transposition because it makes it easy to use the key I want without needing to find different sheet music) and the sound quality is perfect for my needs. I don’t have need for the mic or headphones so I haven’t used them yet, but I imagine they probably work great for practicing alone and not disturbing others too much. All in all, I’m really happy I bought this keyboard!

Beginner adult here. So far so good!!

Me gusto mucho muy bonito y de tamaña adecuado si no tienes mucho espacio, si estás aprendiendo a tocar es buena opción tiene gran variedad de sonidos y sirve, pero si quieres algo un poco más útil recomiendo comprar un teclado con más octavas porque algunas canciones requieren sonidos más agudos o más graves, en general cumple con lo que ofrece y su sonido es excelente

Fun little keyboard we just gave our 11 year old yesterday for his birthday. It takes some learning in how all the buttons and controls work. And the screen has a defect - the first digit is faulty. Here, it should be three 0s. I contemplated sending it back but my son said he didn’t mind that defect.

Los accesorios son de buena calidad, el asiento es cómodo y ya viene armado, el soporte también es de buena calidad, ambos son de metal, los audífonos son económicos y de baja calidad, pero cumplen su función, en lo general es un buen producto, el teclado es básico pero como soy principiante me funciona a la perfección, por 1700 pesos mexicanos (que es el precio en el que lo compré el 1 de Enero de 2026) no podría conseguir algo mejor.

ottima pianola, certo non ha i tasti pesati, ma per approcciare è più che sufficiente, mia nipote la usa ancora anche se ormai è giunto il momento di fare un passo avanti, presto avrà un pianoforte da 88 tasti pesati. Consigliato.

Ho acquistato questa tastiera Alesis Melody 61 la scorsa settimana per mia figlia di 11 anni, che ha appena iniziato il corso di musica a scuola, e devo dire che è stata una scelta azzeccatissima! La tastiera è leggera, compatta e ben costruita, ideale per chi comincia a studiare pianoforte senza dover affrontare subito una spesa troppo impegnativa. Tasti e suono: I 61 tasti sono di buona qualità, con una risposta piacevole al tocco. Ovviamente non è una tastiera pesata come quelle professionali, ma per un principiante è perfetta. Il suono è sorprendentemente buono: chiaro, pulito e con un volume più che sufficiente grazie agli altoparlanti integrati. Funzioni e varietà: Offre ben 300 suoni e 300 ritmi, quindi c’è davvero tanto da esplorare. Mia figlia si diverte a provare diversi strumenti, dal pianoforte classico alla chitarra, fino a suoni più “moderni”. Ci sono anche canzoni demo già integrate e funzioni di registrazione molto semplici da usare.

小5の子供用に購入しました！ 椅子付きだし音も良いし、この価格で大満足です。 組み立ても簡単に出来ました。

Backstory: It all began when I decided it was time to pursue my dream of becoming a musical virtuoso. Well, not exactly. In truth, I had watched one too many YouTube videos of child prodigies playing Beethoven, and thought, “How hard could it be?” Cue the late-night online shopping spree where I stumbled upon the Alesis Melody 61 Key Keyboard Piano. Its description promised everything: 300 sounds, music lessons, a stand, stool, headphones, microphone, and even a sheet music stand—basically, all the tools to turn me into the next Elton John. I was sold. Two days later, a suspiciously large box arrived at my door, and thus began my journey into musical mediocrity (with a side of chaos). The Encounter: The first sign of trouble came during assembly. The stool seemed straightforward, but the stand? It felt like an IKEA nightmare. At one point, I accidentally turned it into what could only be described as a modern art piece. With the help of YouTube and a little cursing, I finally got everything set up. Excited, I turned on the keyboard and hit a random key. Instead of a grand piano sound, I was greeted by what I can only describe as “techno alien disco.” Turns out, I had accidentally selected Sound #273. After cycling through bagpipes, helicopter noises, and what might have been a kazoo, I eventually found a classic piano sound. Progress! Half an hour into my first music lesson, the dog started howling in what I hoped was approval, though it sounded suspiciously like protest. The included microphone, which I naïvely plugged in, turned my attempts at singing into something resembling auto-tuned banshee wails. But hey, everyone starts somewhere. Review: Pros: 1. Feature Overload: 300 sounds and rhythms mean you’ll never get bored. From pianos to strings to, yes, helicopter noises—it’s got it all. 2. Great Starter Kit: The included stand, stool, headphones, and microphone make this an all-in-one package, perfect for beginners or hobbyists. 3. Learning Made Easy: The built-in lessons are surprisingly good, offering step-by-step guidance for those (like me) starting from zero. 4. Compact and Lightweight: Easy to move around, whether you’re practicing in the bedroom, living room, or pretending you’re on stage. 5. Budget-Friendly: For everything included, it’s a bargain. Perfect for those dipping their toes into music without committing to a pricey piano. Cons: 1. Stand Assembly Drama: Putting it together was an adventure I wasn’t emotionally prepared for. 2. Sound Quality: While decent for the price, don’t expect concert hall acoustics. The speakers can sound a bit tinny at higher volumes. 3. Microphone Chaos: It works, but don’t expect studio-level clarity. Also, it’s dangerously fun, leading to impromptu karaoke sessions. 4. Overwhelming Choices: With 300 sounds, it’s easy to spend more time exploring them than actually practicing. Unexpected Adventures: By day three, I had mastered Twinkle Twinkle Little Star—and by “mastered,” I mean I could play it without accidentally hitting helicopter mode. But the real highlight? A spontaneous “family concert” featuring my questionable keyboard skills, the dog howling backup vocals, and a neighbor knocking to ask if we were “okay.” (I like to think they wanted to join the band.) The stool, by the way, has now become the cat’s favorite perch, and the sheet music stand works wonderfully… as a holder for snacks. Final Thoughts: The Alesis Melody 61 is a fantastic entry-level keyboard for anyone looking to explore music without breaking the bank. It’s not perfect—the sound quality is mid-tier, and the stand assembly tested my patience—but it’s packed with features, fun, and potential. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a hobbyist looking for a fun instrument, this keyboard delivers. Would I recommend it? Absolutely. Just be prepared for some chaos along the way. 8/10—bonus points if you can figure out how to use Sound #273 in an actual song!
