This electric piano is great for beginners and the sound quality is good and the volume control is great it is easy to use and easy to setup and it’s great for beginners of all ages

I absolutely love this keyboard. It is substantial, not easily portable - which I wanted. The keys are perfectly weighted and the sound is amazing. It plays exactly like a piano!

I'm a beginner and don't know much about pianos. I personally love it but sadly the peice that is by the power button is coming up across the whole top. Trying to fix but idk

Truly, it’s 3.5/5 compared to other keyboards, but for this price, it’s definitely a 5/5. It’s perfect for anyone looking to begin or practice. The keys need to be broken in a bit, but that should come with time.

I happy because it arrived but can’t really say how it is as it’s a Christmas gift.

The things about this purchase that could be improved is for the company to sell a stand for it. We had to improvise a way to support the keyboard and have little to choose from in our apartment. Another thing that would be helpful is to engineer a more substantial music holder. This one seems to follow a common Yamaha music holder which is also not substantial. Otherwise the weighted keys and sound quality for the cost is excellent.

Order came within 5 business days. Very pleased with quality of keyboard. Best deal on comparable product! Would order from this company again!

I love it! The weighted keys have a great feel, and it sounds great. I love the headphone jacks because my kids want to play it all day long. Shipping was incredibly fast, it showed up 2 days after I ordered!

This is lovely but it's heavy!! It's a nice quality and nice sounding piano though and it's easy to play and learn for a beginner. The weighted type keys are nice. I highly recommend using this with a keyboard stand. The fact that it has 88 full keys is nice. It's pricy but worth it. It sounds realistic and it is easy to set up. You can choose other instruments and demo songs and more. Not too bad for a beginner. The price point is appealing too.

I have always wanted to learn piano, but my job kept me moving too much so I waited. Plus, technology has improved so much during the last 30 years. I didn't need anything with lots of bells and whistles, just something close to the experience of a true acoustic piano. It has a few features I may never use, but I could change my mind in future. I like the metronome function to help me keep the rhythm of the piece and is great for practice. The sound is loud enough through the speakers. It is rather heavy, so not as portable as I would like. I was hoping to carry this with me to class. Still, there are online lessons. Overall, I am pleased with this piano.

+ Keys feel amazing – very close to a real piano. Like uncanny valley but in a good way, the only things missing are the individual character of a mechanical piano but that’s not really necessary for being good at playing piano.
+ Audio quality from the big speaker is pretty great, the sound output is whole and full without any weird artifacts
+ If you just use it as a piano, the basic operation of music keys and pedals, on/off buttons, volume controls are very intuitive to normal piano users.
+ The many standard options are pretty good for fine tuning the options
+ MIDI works fine with musescore
+ There is a USB port for playing and recording MP3 files
Power usage: less than 11W at max volume. This keyboard itself could’ve been powered by USB given the low power consumption, and potentially by other USB sources like power banks so you can play this piano away from the wall socket without a long extension cord, or during a power outage. Unfortunately it isn’t, power is supplied by a 12V 36W barrel adapter.
- The ancillary functions are less intuitive. If new users want to access the advanced functions and they will absolutely need the instruction manual
- Being a big weighted piano, don’t expect much portability. It is heavy, thick, and very long. The only thing it is more portable than is a real piano.

My 13 year old daughter is taking piano lessons and her teacher wanted her to get a full 88-key board with weighted keys, ideally. These seem to be semi-weighted, but are a huge step up from what she had before (non-weighted keys).
Here are my favorite things about it:
- Sturdy construction (though fairly heavy for size)
- Great realistic sound quality
- Piano-like feel
- Felt at edge/top of keys for quiet and smooth operation
- Sustain pedal included (NOTE - there's a switch on there that controls its operation as normal or reverse)
- Can expand with a 3-pedal unit
- Lots of input/output options, including dual headphone jacks on the front
- Metronome, beats, sounds all pretty decent

The quality of this piano is clear. The keys are so strong and truly weighted as advertised.
The size of it is massive, just as big as a my full size piano.
The sound quality is great, the instrument options present a fantastic quality.
The speakers are good and the experience is awesome too.
Overall it is THE option if you want to get a real sound and a real experience.
Osprey
This is an excellent keyboard. Sound quality is great, the weighted keys feel like a real piano, and it is a joy to play. The keys are just as responsive as a real piano - light touch equals light sound. Hard pound equals loud sound. Changing effects is not very intuitive, so dont throw away the instructions.

My daughter wants to start taking piano lessons, so we were looking for a digital piano for her that has weighted keys but isn't too expensive. We were considering the Korg B2 digital piano, which is a very popular model that normally sells for around $500 but is on sale sometimes. One of my friends has this model and told me it's the best digital piano on the market for $500 or less. But before I had made the decision to purchase it, I saw this Eastar EP-120 digital piano. I decided to give this one a try, since it seems very similar to the Korg. After setting it up and playing with it for a while, I am very impressed with the quality. It is definitely comparable to the Korg and maybe even a better value since the price of this Eastar model is usually under $400. The weighted keys feel very similar to a real piano, and the sound from the speakers is very good. I can definitely recommend this as a good option for a beginner or someone who wants the sound and feel of a real piano but can't afford the price that a real piano costs or the space that it would take up. One nice feature is that it has 2 headphone jacks on the front. So a student and teacher could both wear headphones in order to have a lesson at night when you don't want to make a lot of noise that your neighbors might hear.

This 88 weighted key piano has many features that is sure to impress. The weight keys feel weighted and realistic. Not like cheap plastic feel. The two speaker and bass speaker puts out a lot of volume. Has a built in metronome, record feature, eight piano sounds, plus rhythm tracks. But, what really sets this apart for me is the ability to hook up my cell phone and use apps. Or use a tablet or computer. There is so much goodness packed into this digital piano that I can hear the sustain pedal now. And it doesn’t sound digital!

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. The length of the piano is about 52in. I lay my IKEA KALLAX shelf organizer to hold the piano for now. I love how it has the plug in headphone function, so it won't disturb my neighbor downstairs at night. The regular 3.5mm headphone won't work. You will need 6.5mm one. I love the metronome option because my daughter and I both are beginner. I have to say you got to really read the owner's manual to learn about the hidden function under different keys. I am amaze by this.
Oliver
Very good quality! Lots of features. Definitely love this purchase!!
Jacob
Great piano for beginners.
Mason
I am learning to play and I really enjoy the sound and how great it fits in my home.
John W. Graham
The Eastar EP-120 Beginner Digital Piano is a nicely priced digital piano with 88 fully weighted piano style keys to simulate the feel of an acoustic piano.
The human machine interface is a touch panel.
It comes with a Metal Sustain Pedal, power adapter and a music stand.
No stand or feet are included.
This has really rich sound as well as a MIDI USB interface.
I love that this has a silent practice function.
This is a great piano for learning how to play and it does take up considerable real estate so be aware of that.
I'm happy with the quality, the sound and the feel of this piano.
Logan
I got this keyboard for my birthday. I was looking for something that was as piano like as possible, that way I can practice at night or whenever I wants while my family is sleeping or working. This keyboard is great! Great sound quality, the keys feel great. Just over all great. Very good for price, would recommend!
E. Talerico
This keyboard sounds great. The weighted keys feel like a regular piano. The sound from the onboard speakers is okay, but plugged into my PA system is sounds just incredible. The keyboard is spacious and comfortable - not compact and cramped!
There is a suitable array of connections - audio input and output (for connecting to a PA system or external speaker, plugs for a variety of pedals, a USB port for connecting to a computer, and a second one for an MP3 player. All are easily accessible on the rear of the unit. I'm a guitarist primarily and just getting started on keyboards, and so far I've found this to be a perfect entry level instrument. The combination of good sound, a true keyboard feel and layout, and some capability to integrate with my computer for recording are all great features!
James
We absolutely love this piano for beginners. I purchased stickers to place on the keys to help the kids learn.

I've played piano for years, and watched my kids learn to play. Then my grandchildren began to play, so, getting older, I gave my piano to the grandkids. But, I missed it. So I chose to buy this Eastar piano. I was so excited when it arrived! I set it up --and middle C didn't work. I contacted Customer Service, and after sending a video of the problem, they shipped a new piano to me in less than a week. It's working great and I'm thrilled with the sound and the feel of playing aga...

My 13 year old daughter is taking piano lessons and her teacher wanted her to get a full 88-key board with weighted keys, ideally. These seem to be semi-weighted, but are a huge step up from what she had before (non-weighted keys).
FYI, Eastar = Donner, the same company that makes inexpensive guitar pedals and accessories that I like.
Here are my favorite things about it:
- Sturdy construction (though fairly heavy for size)
- Great realistic sound quality
- Piano-like feel
- Felt at edge/top of keys for quiet and smooth operation
- Sustain pedal included (NOTE - there's a switch on there that controls its operation as normal or reverse)
- Can expand with a 3-pedal unit
- Lots of input/output options, including dual headphone jacks on the front
- Metronome, beats, sounds all pretty decent
Could be better:
- The touchscreen controls require you to also use keys on the keyboard to activate or disable functions. It is fairly confusing to use, and there's no display to give you any feedback, e.g. you can't see what instrument tone is selected, BPM for metronome or beats, which sample song is playing, etc.
Overall, though, it's a quality keyboard and a good value for the price. It's great for a piano student more so than a gigging musician (though it could be used that way).
Amelia
Super impressed! This has to be the best piano in its class. 5 starfish.

I am a beginner at music, I brought a Yamaha digital piano last year and it cost me 500$. My wife lived in DC and give it to her, so I need a replacement. The Yamaha is good but it is a little expensive, so I need something more worthy. This piano is exactly what I want! Inexpensive but high quality! It plays as well as my Yamaha but only cost half.

I was hesitant to review this piano until I learned and used all the features. But I think it's important that beginners know that this piano has proven so enjoyable to learn on. It is such a nice option for those of us that don't have the space (or funds) for a real piano. The sound is great and volume is adjustable for the pesky neighbors, especially when you share a wall. The weight of the keys is impressive to me. Does it feel and sound exactly like a piano? No, at least not the one I learned the basics on - over 50 years ago - but it's more than good enough for me. I feel like after I learn the all the options, I can get it to sound more realistic.
I have been enjoying the luxury of taking my time to relearn the basics on my own. And I have a neighbor willing to provide instruction when I'm ready. I am confident I will be able to adjust to her 'real' piano with no problem when the lessons commence.
The unit itself feels solidly built. I can lift it alone, but it is hard to move around alone. I am not fond of the stand I purchased. The keyboard doesn't sit on top of it securely though the stand is specifically for an 88 key keyboard. I imagine I missed something there. The instructions for the keyboard are rather lacking. I mean, it's obvious that you turn on the power button, adjust the volume, and start playing, but stand type info would have been nice. You have to be familiar with piano (or maybe just sound) terminology for some of it to make sense.
Mia
My wife plays it a lot and has nothing but praise for the feel of the keys.
Lance Totte
Great quality keyboard.
Isabella
I get what I was looking for. With this price, it is probably the best one can find, especially for beginners.
Tyler
This is my first big keyboard, and my god this is big. The instructions aren't very clear on how to switch modes, i wish it had a touchpad or button pad that allowed you to switch sounds and effects. The keys feel incredible (for a beginner like me) and it sounds really good! Their built in sounds are also good, i just wish this had extra sounds and/or midi support!
Ava
Love my keyboard! Brings me back to when I was learning as a kid! Even though its been over 10 years and am learning again, this piano is great for relearning! So much quality and close enough to a baby grand than I have ever owned. 88 keys and the feel of them are worth it! Great purchase in my personal opinion
John W. Graham
The keys feel right. Nice and heavy compared to a lot of things in this price range. The whole thing is heavy, really, and feels like quality.Since my kids often play with this, I much appreciate both the multiple headphone ports, and that the various beats and instruments aren't really easy buttons to get silly and play with. The emphasis is really on the piano itself and more serious playing, which I really appreciate.Setup was easy, and it fit well in my house. It's heavy enough that it doesn't slide and tip. Not a lot of excess frills, but it does what it does competently.
Olivia
Very happy with the piano. Thanks Eastar. Sounds heavenly.

Bought this key board for my 10 year old. It was easy to use and sounds great. Perfect for beginners.
