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

I bought it for my son and he really love it. Very good quality, good value for money and the sound quality is same with the expensive one.

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!

Good keyboard for beginners, just wish my daughter had used hers more! It had weighted keys so similar to playing a piano. The keys didn’t stick. Instructions were easy to follow. Sound was good and had lots of settings to use.

This is really good for beginners.

Bought for my 11 granddaughter's birthday and she's thrilled with it. Her parents are thrilled that it comes with headphones. It's really good quality and value for the price since you get the stand, small stool, music stand and headphones supplied too. It's a full size keyboard so does take up quite a lot of space and it's heavy. My granddaughter is having lots of fun learning to play on it and will hopefully gets lots of use from it. I would recommend it.

Bought this for my daughter, was a very good value of money. Amazing quality! It has everything for the price.

Good sound quality, Best for Beginners as well as professionals. I like this Piano

It serves to practice but the sound is not very good, It has over 200 sound options between saucers and helicopters but only 1 piano, they should add more piano type options. What it costs is perfect.

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.

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!

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。
