Review on Synthesizer Roland GO:KEYS GO-61K red by Edyta Nowak ᠌

The instrument was bought as a second instrument for the Roland FP-30 for training a child on vacation in the countryside. Chose quite a long time between Yamaha, Casio and Roland. The key conditions were - minimum dimensions, minimum weight, 61 keys, more or less normal instruments (so that they do not sound like Chinese toys for 1000), more or less normal keyboard (it is clear that they are not hammers, but ordinary buttons, otherwise it will weigh like a kettlebell and a child of 9 years old, such an instrument will not be dragged behind its back), but so that it does not creak and does not click, the presence of a BT Audio input so that you can play to the soundtrack from a smartphone / tablet without bothering with wires. For this money (I took it immediately on the spot with an extra charge, the device cost 27, which is about ~ 5 higher than the possible price if I was waiting for delivery from Hong Kong). For the final choice, I took a performer with me to the store. She studied 4 instruments for about an hour (a yamaha, two casios and this roland) in the end she chose it, said that the menu was clear, it sounded normal, easy. I myself felt the keyboards of about 10-15 instruments in the store. On all synthesizers from 20 to 50tr. The tactile buttons are identical. Velocity sensitivity is normal. They differ only on hammer keyboards. The tool is used daily now. Fully justified. There would be an option to buy Go:Piano (I would take it because of the audio engine and piano samples), but it was not on sale. It remains to buy a pedal (now using a pedal from the FP-30) and a holder for notes. BT Audio works immediately and perfectly. The child independently connected everything and plays popular tracks under YouTube. Sometimes uses the built-in sampler to overdub parts. Great tool for the money (as a second tool). Unfortunately, I could not find another compact and lightweight 61-key alternative (except for Go:Piano), at least, larger or poorer alternatives. Good quality sound from the audio output. The matter did not reach the instructions, the built-in menu was enough to figure it out.
