i agree.. i have watched lots of videos and it gets frustrating because so much talking and not actually playing :)

I think this was the best video on travel keyboards I’ve watched. Why no one actually plays the keyboards in their review videos is beyond me. This gave me a good idea on the sound. You’re a wonderful player by the way! I really enjoyed listening to you play!!

Just beautiful!

Oh man your enthusiasm is getting me so stoked to get back into playing. Easter will be here soon!!

Very much enjoyed your analysis of foldups. Enjoyed your playing skills too!

Awesome!!!!😃🎹

WOW!!!! Not only a great playing demo, with excellent descriptions of the action/feel and response, but you also took the time to describe what external gear you were using and how you were interfacing everything. Super helpful and informative. EVERY KZreadr should take note. Don't just show off the gear, but take a moment to describe how you're hooking things up. I've been looking for something like this to interface to an iPad/iPhone and this seems just too perfect. I have a Wavestation I play live, and this and an iPad may just replace it. Easier to transport too. Many thanks!

A video like this makes me think the r/piano subreddit is full of snobs because they talk about foldables like this one as if they're absolute garbage not worth the time. But this demonstration and others makes me think this one is pretty good for the price. My only issue is this model and ones like it seem to come from the same manufacturer in China and get sold under different brand names with slightly different button layouts and features and I don't know which one to get.

It sounds like a real piano but as if it were recorded through a CB radio, perfect for travel, you hit the jackpot on this one my friend

Any keyboard demo is better with someone that plays well! Good job here and Thank You!

I'm buying an Eastar as a travel piano just to keep myself 'in tune' when I'm away from my home piano for a long time. I've been looking for something like this. Very informative! Thanks for your review!

Could listen to your playing all day and night. my kind of music. brill. I forgot i why i watched your video regarding folding pianos

Wow !!! The most informative and usefull overview video I ever seen - got idea for folding keyboard abt 20 years ago, even bought a Casio on triftstore to start that project... but didnt finish it.... Surprised by you - someone make it true in numerous ))) and you got it in collection (!!!) Thanks for sharing, bro !! Very useful info !

very informative review, thanks for not telling me that it is not the same as playing a $100,000.00 grand piano as so many pretentious pro are prone to saying.

What can i say. I’ve just purchased the e10 just from your feedback and playing alone. Your passion is awesome and is telling me i need to play when I’m working away from home. Cheers dude

Great video! Thank you! 😊

Профессионально. 👍

Very informative video. Thanks 🎹🎹🎹

Thank you for a great review. I’m getting ready to buy a travel piano and this helps a bunch!! I just ordered the Eastar. Will be here tomorrow! 👍👍

Vc foi o melhor que eu já vi sobre esse piano portátil e dobrável show

Thank you for this because I was wondering how well it sound & the feel of it, I was debating about buying a folding piano

I am looking forward to buying this piano from saudi arabia. I just bought roland fp30x from a music store yesterday - but i will return it back because of this video ❤️ I never played piano but I am really willing to learn - I hope someday you make step by step piano tutorials for beginners & I will watch day and night after buying same piano as yours

Thank You

Thanks for the review bro. I am planning to buy one of these.

I don't play piano and don't know any brands so at my age all I may be interested in is something cheap that I can learn on for now.

Hi Kris, I have been watching your KZread channel for long time now I appreciate your honesty. I was looking to buy a portable 88 keyboard for a long time I finally i just order one because your honesty. This company's they should pay something because you deserve it. Without you i would order it. I just thoght you should know that & keep up the good work. Dawit from Australia.

Good!

I'm silly goose. This is an incredibly thorough review and a great comparison of the Veetop vs Eastar. Thank you for your demos and opinions! Ugh, I can't pick!

thanks for this review Sir, is the best righ now and very usefull

thanks

Very good review, Kris. Not to mention I love your skillful piano style! I ordered the one you reviewed but goes under a different brand name in my location. Thank you kindly.

Great review thank you so much! Could you recommend any free or affordable grand piano plugins warm soft similar to the Steinway?

Excellent! Excellent. I was wary about durability on these fold ups. How have they held up over time? If I can get an 8lb fold up to replace my Yamaha P-120 or Roland FP, that is a game changer and relieves my aching back and wallet. God Bless your sister my friend!!!

very good. you got a new subscriber.

nevermind i watched the part where u test it haha thanks great player

What control software do you use on your ipad to connect to the keyboard?

The new Fverey is the best folding 88. Love easy Bluetooth MIDI without delay but need wired headphones or speaker as final destination. Mini sustain jack. Hope it helps traveling keys😄😄

Thank you very much for this very comprehensive presentation! What is the brand name and model of the piano you are testing with your ipad? Thank you very much in advance!

I don't play, but wanted to learn to make jingles. I truly hope the company sponsor you or paid you or made upgrades to their piano on your behalf. You're a good salesman.

A travel piano with lithium-ion rechargeable battery can be taken on a flight. Don't want to put it in the overhead compartment even if there is room since many come with a soft case that won't take the stress from people shoving their luggage in. In a tight economy seat many of these can probably fit under the seat. I traveled with a violin in the overhead before. The case has enough padding to prevent damage from other carry-on bags.

My suggestion to avoid chasing for that troublesome pedal is to have a customised platform build around it to provide a bigger surface area on the ground or if it does not have a rubber pad underneath the pedal, put four rubber pads on it, and you may add a rubber or wool mat below it for added friction/resistance and you can pin the other end of the mat underneath the chair you are sitting on to avoid getting dragged during use. Those are the things I did with the kick pedal of my electronic drum kit as I get a similar problem which happens to all contraptions that's being moved around on any instrument that doesn't have a sturdy support to latch on to.

I don't have problems anymore chasing those sustain pedals sliding or running away, those round or square thin silicone rubber pads for your hot pans and kettles in the kitchen are of great help, put one under your pedal and presto! . . . they don't run away anymore!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

I was waiting for the part that you talked about the bluetooth latency but you didn't go on with more informations.May I know if you were using the and testing the bluetooth function between the iPad and the keyboard all this while or it was via the cable ? Is the latency totally acceptable during performance ? Last question, is the music sheet holder really that insecure because I am using a 10.5" iPad and if drop on stage while performing from a standing keyboard stand height can spell disaster like a crack screen.Please help me with your answers.

Very descriptive! Good job, I’m gonna buy one! And the way you just popped oof like that😂 your better than I thought you’d be. (No offense)

Does the music stand fit inside the bag case with the piano? I feel like it can scratch and damge the keys if you carry the bag around.

can you please let me know what apps you are using, ravenscroft and what? something player? thank you

There's no debating the usefulness of the ipad for pianists and keyboardists, as much as we all want to stay off our screens! But most portable keyboards just leave out basic midi controls and master screen, to the point where midi control have just been delegated off the piano and onto the screens we already have -portable tablets. Or reserved for only for premium stage and studio instruments.

Great video! I would like to know how responsive it is to different dynamics . Repetitive notes, evenness of scales, and staccato and legato touches.

@KMNKeyboardVault

It’s very responsive, but you have to have the right camera connection kit because some camera connection kits can cause Latency on your iPad if you’re gonna just use it as a regular keyboard, with the onboard sounds it is very responsive I highly recommend it

@@MrLightning20 I have android phone and tablet, but how exactly do you connect it? Do you use the charging cable that comes with the piano, and connect it to a female USB adapter that you hook up to your tablet, where it works just like if you were going to use a midi ports or usb to host port? If possible I'd like to use it with Synthesia to learn songs, so currently charging my laptop to see if I can get that to work. But if I can do the same with my tablet that would be a lot easier.

The problem with most of these folding pianos (with the exception of the Voyage) is that they only fold in half, which makes their folded length about 25 inches - beyond the maximum length allowed for a carry-on item on just about any airline. Can you chance no one noticing? Sure, but you also run the risk of having to leave it behind, because most of these keyboards have a lithium battery backup (which you cannot put in a checked bag). The beauty of the Voyage is that it folds in 4 pieces rather than two, making this a non-issue.

Since it doesn't have midi or USB to host port. How exactly are you hooking it up to your tablet? Both the phone I have and the tablet I have is android and use USB C-ports. Once my laptop has been charged I'm gonna try and hook up the power cable that comes with it. Seeing if I can use Synthesia with it. If that works is it the same deal for hooking it up to a tablet or even a phone I just need to get an adapter cable? I also tried searching for the apps that you use to change what piano sound it makes and turns out android no longer supports ravenscroft and could not find pneuma either just a radio player with the same name. Do you have recommendations for other apps that I can try and see if there are android versions of? I'd love to be able to switch from grandpiano sound to an old-time western sound for when I learn how to play some ragtime songs again after not having played for over a decade.

I am interested in the eastar piano...where can I buy it? and what is the model #? thanks for your videos!

hi can you tell me if it is possible to remove the batterie. When you go on an airplane you arent allowed to but batteries in your suitcase only the handluggage

Hello' thanks for this complete presentation. Please, could you give me the name of the Android applications you use in this eastar's demo ? I am French, and don't speak english very well ! I hope you respond tout me. Best regards from France😊, Marie-Laure

as to the folding piano does the sound come out depending of how hard you press the keys? or it is the same regardless of how you press?

Please list the Apps you use. Ravens Claw? etc. Thx. (Great review!!)

Kris, good comparison. You mention that the Eastar will fit under the seat in front of you on an airplane. Just the one seat or does it take up the space of two seats (what’s it’s width)? Also do you take it in the bag you showed? I thought airlines insisted on instruments being in a hard case and what you showed is definitely a soft case. Grateful for you input. Thanks.

@@KMNKeyboardVault Hi Kris, Sorry to ask another question but I want to connect my iPad to my Yamaha DGX-670 but not sure about the cabling. My iPad is an iPad Air 4th Generation and the keyboard has a USD to Host connection. Therefore I know I need a USB C to USB B cable but those I find on Amazon say the device needs to support OTG FHNCTION. Everything I read on the internet states that the iPad does not support OTG. How do you connect? What type of cable do you use?

I noticed your iPad had a home button. Maybe Bluetooth won't lag with the latest iPad?

So, its been a year since you did these vids on this folding Keyboard. How do you feel about it now? Would be nice to see a follow-up review after a year of using it...

Hi, could you please mention the brand of this foldable piano?

Did I understand this correctly: you hooked the sound output into the ipad, ipad output to speaker, ipad does sound processing of piano input in realtime, and the result is you get a close to real piano sound instead of the piano's native artificial sound? As in, the output still is real time not something you layed over prerecorded video later on? Which model is this Eastar? Thanks for commenting.

Can we take such a long bag inside a plane cabin? This seems wider than what is allowed. If yes, could I take an additional carry-on bag? I travel all the time (internationally), but this time I want to take a music instrument with me.
