**AODSK 88-Key Weighted Digital Piano with Wooden Stand, 3-Pedal Unit & 15W Stereo Speakers – Full-Size Keyboard for Beginners & Professionals – Perfect for Home Practice, Lessons & Performances**

I've been taking piano classes at my local community college for the past year, equivalent to a level 1 and 2 class. At home, I would practice with this keyboard I had for around 5 years that had great sound, a handful of interesting midi sounds, but abysmal keys with no resistance. It isn't something you would notice or care about just starting with piano, but after 6 months I noticed just how much more comfortable and better playing on the more expensive keyboards and actual pianos at my school felt—I also DESPERATELY needed a pedal. So I set out to find a keyboard that would suit my wants and needs: something that just had fully weighted keys, had good sound quality, and had a good looking stand—I didn't want an X-style stand like I had before.The keys: The keys are great. They feel pretty much as weighted as the Yamaha keyboards we use in my class. They still feel different from acoustic/grand pianos, but pretty good.The sound: To be honest...I really wasn't expecting the sound to be kind of mediocre. My previous keyboard, The One Light light-weighted keyboard, has a pretty decent sound quality. I'm not too experience with pianos, but I wouldn't say it was any worse than the Yamaha I use in class. This one...it's not too bad, but it has a very definite digital-sounding feel to it. I noticed it immediately when I used it and immediately assumed it was because of some button that was accidentally turned on. Nope. That's the default state. I got used to it after using it for a bit, but I wouldn't put the sound high on the list. It makes me wonder what the other reviewers were hearing, since part of the reason why I got this is because the reviews said it had good sound quality.The build: the keys don't feel cheap, though whether they are or not isn't really an indicator of that. The body of the keyboard mixes between thin and hardened plastic—the thin plastic parts don't feel cheap but they don't feel not cheap, you know? The stand itself is made of wood and is fairly easy to put together and should be pain free for those unexperienced with building things like this.Overall, if you really want something with fully weighted keys, 88 keys, a slightly fancier stand, that comes with the three pedal attachments, then this is a pretty good option. I ultimately chose this one because I was eyeing the Yamaha keyboards when they were out of my price range. This one felt like a good compromise between price and quality, and I wouldn't say that the quality is bad at all. Some of these problems just feel like ones that will be fixed as soon as you get a more expensive keyboard.
