Folding Piano Review - The OYAYO 88-Key Portable Keyboard

Музыка

OYAYO was kind enough to send me their 88-key folding piano to try out! I've never played on a folding piano before, so I was curious to see what it was like. At only 12 pounds it is an extremely portable instrument - but is it worth your investment? I go over my thoughts in the video and also give a bit of a performance demo to help you decide!

    Anyone here own a folding piano? I honestly didn't know they existed until making this video. What a wild world we live in!

    Thanks for the info. I’m a trombonist and my daughter is learning violin. I bought it because we have limited space, and I want to teach her some theory. It doesn’t need to be great. I just needs to be good enough, and able to store away. I think for the money, it’ll be perfect. I’ll find out in a few days. 😎

    No, I don't think it's a super noisy piano in that way. You won't be able to get a ton of dynamic nuance out of the piano for your classical pieces, but it would be fine for keeping sharp on the mechanics of the piece. Another thing to note is that it can hold around a four hour charge, so you would need an electrical supply at some point, either portable battery or some other solution (depending on what type of camping you do).

    @@JonPumper Thnx, well I am mostly hooked up to 230V, so that would not be a problem. I noticed that you have similar ones, such as vangoa or Axel, but I get they all have similar dynamics. Well it is for practicing, and it is way much smaller than my very old 61 key yamaha keyboard! Thnx for helping!

    Bought finger ballet. It’s probably the same Got it for grandchildren (very young) because my daughter didn’t want to commit yet to taking up the space for a piano. Seems excellent for young kids to learn on. Pretty much full size keys. Sound could be better but the kids won’t know and they can hook up speakers in the future. Yup just looked. Same piano as finger ballet. Bought white for $122

    Are the keys a standard 23-24mm width? I ask as I had bought a keyboard a while back to use when I wanted to practice in a room other than where my piano was and those keys were a bit narrower at 20mm.

    I got mine so I could practice when I travel or I'm in a place with no piano. It doesn't feel or play like a real piano or even like a good electronic one so I would never use this as a main piano or to learn on. It will be my emergency piano lol. If you haven't got much space get a decent electronic piano with 88 keys.

    Another question: I read that the keys are somewhat smaller than on a regular piano, in one review I read 16.1 cm for one octave in stead of 16.5, do you know if that is true? Sorry to bother you again!

    I just bought one, the "2023 upgrade", but I'm wondering if they sent me an older model. But the back panel of mine is the same as yours. The panel on the one Angelo reviews here on YT has a DC12V input and a 3-pedal port which you and I don't have. Angelo's also has a single row on buttons, while ours have a double row. The question: do we have the newer or the older model? They're fairly different. And the new one's supposed to have a better piano sound.

    Hmmm good question. I think we have the newer one? His video appears to have been published two months ago, and I think it would be odd for them to have sent us an older models The USB-C port seems to me like it would be a newer feature, and not one they would get rid of when upgrading.
