I want to buy a travel piano so I can practice on road that fits in overhead on plane and can use without a computer what do you recommend

This is a MIDI only keyboard. You have to connect it to a computer to work. It would fit into an overhead compartment, but not easily. Probably not something you want unless you're going to check it in your luggage.

The one we bought has never been played. It's the most complicated thing we've ever purchased. I wouldn't get one again even if it was given to me. We ended up with a regular Yamaha. Works great!

This is a MIDI Controller and therefore has no built-in sounds. You would need to attach it to a computer via USB. Furthermore it's pretty heavy for a 49-key controller and would probably not fit easily in an overhead compartment.

I havent used it without the computer so im not sure if it works independently but I know there is a battery port. What number of keys are you thinking about getting? I had a 49 and it definitely was portable on the road but on a plane im not sure depending on what size keys you get. the smaller one is def. A good size. The keys are for sure fun to play with and has great feedback when you play. I would recommend this midi keyboard for the price

The reason I bought the keyboard was to be able to practice in privacy. I use the headphones, of course, and to me, the sound is great. I also bought the pedal. It was not difficult to make the transition and some pieces are easier to play because the touch is a little lighter.

I'm sorry, I don't know. It has many plug in places. It's totally cute, works well and sounds like a real piano.

Yes it is, I bought the piano for my 6 yr old daugther to use when we´re travelling, and she loves it!!!

yeah its a complete midi keyboard, so you plug it in to a computer with the cord that comes with it. You can get a solid piano synth program for free, and i love the fact that it's a midi since i use a program called playground sessions which acts as a virtual piano teacher

This is not a good way to start to learn piano. A toy xylophone would be much better. The xylophone has the same 2:3 black key structure as a piano and you can play several notes at once. She would also have the physical satisfaction of learning how to hit the keys in order to change the quality of the sound. If you are going to get an electric keyboard, get one with several octaves.Chose her teacher carefully - look into the teacher's experience in teaching children, how long her students stay with her, ability to sense what the child is wanting to know, not just give lessons from a book. Try Suzuki method.

Yes. It really just requires some minimal assembly. After that, just turn on the power and start playing. It doesn't have a lot of the features that you would typically find on a keyboard. It it more like playing an acoustic piano. You don't even need to learn how to change to the different instruments if you don't want to. I'd highly recommend it for someone wanting to learn to play the piano without all the bells and whistles of an electronic keyboard.

It is a good travel guitar based on the price. Because it is so inexpensive, you may not be too concerned about it getting banged up or lost. Based on size, I would say that it is not as good as a smaller sized guitar for travel. Please note that I am a small person in stature, so that is why I would make this comment. If you are a bigger person and the size isn't an issue, then it's great for travel. FYI-This guitar also has a wonderful sound and stays tuned for a very long time. I highly recommend this guitar!

I would recommend Kala. It is high quality for the price and sounds great. It's an amazing ukulele for starters.

i bought this piano for the exactly same reason as you did, and it served my purposes well. They keys are digitally weighted, like you play on an acoustic piano. well, the sound won't be as beautiful as an acoustic, as the wooden sound board and all those, you know. but it definitely gives you what you need. this is not a keyboard, not gonna give you those fancy beats, it's more like a piano. Also, what i like about digital piano is that you can play during the night with your headphones on, no need to worry about bothering neighbors. This was a huge plus for me, especially when i lived in an apartment. the piano also comes with a sheet music book with those classics, with the pre-recorded play in the piano. you may find the song you're practicing actually have a pro-version in there, which helps too. go enjoy.

Hello! There is a free app called "P-255 Controller" available in iTunes. Here's their description: Use an iOS device (iPhone/iPod touch/iPad) for even easier and more convenient control of the P-255. This is a dedicated app that makes the compact and stylish digital piano, P-255, even easier to use. The app supports a wide variety of playing situations on the P-255, from piano practice to live performance or performing at parties. Hope that helps! -Andy's Music

Very good considering the size. I take this keyboard to chorus practice for when we break into parts, and also use it to practice when I don't have a piano nearby. I've had it for months and haven't changed the batteries yet. It's helpful to purchase a case with handles if you are transporting frequently.

yes !! just make sure the piano has the same connection. now if you to close to the piano ill make a loud noise so you have to be away from the piano to work!

i would look into flight cases, by j winter or roadie cases especially if i had a pro sax. the roadie cases got tons of room and it's on wheels and locks.

The Korg is a superb device and entirely with the price. We recommend this piano. I am unfamiliar with the Casio.

If you are looking for something to play around with, the Privia should be fine. If you are looking to learn how to play a piano it is important to get a keyboard that has the best piano feel which would be the Yamaha. I think the single most important thing about getting a keyboard has to do with the feel of the keys; more important than features or even sound.

It's about two feet long and sounds good on batteries. If you're a musician and need a keyboard on a trip, go for it. Any larger, and I wouldn't suggest it. It's just big enough to NOT be a toy. Also, if you use it a lot, you can get the power cord. The downside, in my opinion, it has no case, so you'll need to get creative. Good luck.
