Moukey MDP-110 Semi-Weighted Full-Size 88-Key with Sustain Pedal

It was so easy working with these people

Being described as a beginner’s keyboard I didn’t expect much from this thing, I’ve seen way too many cheap pianos in this price range and they are mostly all plastic, tinny sounding toys with lightweight keys that don’t look or feel anything like a real piano. My expectations for this one were wrong on almost every count, this is a rare case of a manufacturer being almost too modest in describing what they’re selling. With only six physical buttons and one traditional rotary volume control this 88 key piano won’t overwhelm you with buttons, labels and flashing lights. And that’s a good thing, if that’s what makes you think makes a better keyboard look elsewhere. This one is very honest what it is and what it is intended for – it is a piano for those whose musical ear is more sophisticated than buying a toy but not skilled enough yet to lay out a thousand dollars or more for a high quality musical instrument. BUILD QUALITY The first thing that I was not expecting at all is that this is a very heavy piano for its type, that’s because it is completely made of thick solid metal except for the endcaps. If you are a garage band on a low budget this definitely looks like it could stand up to the rigors of road tours. WHAT TO LOOK FOR What you get is a full 88 key instrument that is slender enough to put away in a closet when you’re not using it. Of course you can buy a stand for it for about thirty bucks more. While it doesn’t have a lot of buttons it does have a fairly simple to understand system of using its many controls for the built in voices and rhythm accompaniments. But remember, the biggest reason you’re getting this is to learn the keys and the simpler the layout the less confusing it’s going to be. And to make it simple there are half-weighted keys and an interface to use piano instruction apps on your iPad or other tablet. I like the physical volume control, I can tell by looking at it what the volume is going to be so I don’t accidentally wake the whole house up when I practice in the middle of the night. While portable, this is a plug-in AC powered unit only, it cannot be operated on batteries. COMPARED TO Others may have other opinions but I have a tendency to want to compare this to a similar 88 key learner piano from Yamaha, who is famous for acoustic as well as digital products. That one with the famous brand name will cost you about twice as much, and up. There seems to be a sudden influx from no-name Chinese companies of low priced units. Of the ones I have seen this one seems to be perhaps the most full featured. HOW DOES IT SOUND Put on your reality cap, this is not going to sound like a concert grand. There are even other small portable units that maybe can sound better. An expert piano teacher friend of mine advises not to learn bad habits on a bad product. I’m not skilled enough to advise you if this adequate or not. I selected it because I thought it was right for me, and as a professional sound engineer to my ears the two built-in speakers sound reasonably like a piano and the sound through headphones is really good. But it’s not a concert grand, I wouldn’t find it very useful to read complaints that suggest that it should sound like one. Whether that suits your ears or not isn’t going to be found from user comments in this section of the page, their ears aren’t your ears. There is only one way to know how it sounds and that is to buy it, and try it in your own home. YES OR NO The technical details for this product can be found of this product page so I won’t just parrot them over again for you. And as stated, I can’t tell you how it’s going to sound to your ears, only you can make that decision. What I can tell you are facts – that this keyboard is all solid metal compared to what you would expect in the price range being all plastic. The keys look like a piano and feel reasonably good but there are very few digital keyboards that will have the touch of a concert grand. The set of ports on the rear are complete and made to the standards of pro gear. When I first saw the listing I thought this was overpriced for a lesser known brand but after seeing it and using it I don’t have that feeling anymore, there is a good chance that this may be made in one of the factories that also make for some more famous brand names. Don’t judge this against a ten thousand buck concert grand. When considered realistically my opinion is that this is an excellent value for just over two hundred bucks.

The sound quality of the piano is great. I was told by the piano teacher that if you want to learn piano, then you should start with 88 key from very beginning. The keys totally feels like the acoustic piano except this one saves so much space and much less weight.I am amaze by this.

I bought it for my 8-year-old daughter. As her birthday gift, she will practice every day. This piano is really suitable for beginners. It is a good choice if you want to learn piano too.

I have loved pianos for many years, and I have bought many pianos, but this piano surprised me very much. Its touch and sound are very good, and the price is very worthwhile. I highly recommend it.

This 88key piano is really my favorite. The sound is very good, the quality is good, and the logistics is very fast. It is really like your recommendation and it is very suitable for beginners.
