Alesis Recital Pro

I was really looking forward to receiving my new piano keyboard, and am not disappointed. I’ve been learning to play for twelve months now (I’m 75 years young) and felt I would benefit from a piano keyboard rather than a starter keyboard. Immediately the sound impressed me, I’m doing what I wanted to do - play piano! My fingers are not that strong and I’m starting with the keystroke sensitivity on full, progressing as my finger strength improves. I’m also experimenting with the voice options and will wear the ‘strings’ layer option out! With my previous keyboard there were so many options I just couldn’t see when I would use them all. With my new Alesis I’ve got enough choice to keep me happy without becoming confused. The quality of the product is excellent, the weight gives me confidence that my piano isn’t going anywhere, it will sit on the stand ready for me to play anytime. I would suggest that the weight might be an issue for anyone wanting to move the keyboard regularly. The look of a real piano in my study is so rewarding, I’ve worked hard to get this far and love to practice at least an hour every day. I’ll never be good enough to play for anyone other than myself, and as I’m the one who is being entertained I’m happy with that. I’ve been using another app over the past twelve months and now going to give Skoove a trial. Who knows, I might give myself a concert one day!
