Arrived late and the packaging was damaged... still worth every penny. I tried the William legato and I wasn't very impressed. Although I have to admit I'm only a beginner/mediocre song writer. This was perfect for taking to open mics.
The features seem thin but are actually very abundant. Like I said I'm a beginner. Not a very talented one at that. There's an advance mode that imitates the sustain pedal. This was a great unexpected feature. Less equipment I have to bring to open mics the less things ill lose O . O
The demo sound wasn't very impressive. My super basic casio ltk? Sounded better imho. It actually feels very similar. But somehow my lack of talent and skill shows less with the recital. After playing around with the reverb, chorus, volume etc. In Advanced features for about ten minutes.. I went from meh to LOVE <3 although it only comes with a few sounds, you can really adjust it to your liking. The sound is very full and the reverb is great.
My favorite thing about this keyboard is kind of shallow. I liked how it looked compared to williams legato and alesis coda. Alesis coda looked much too bulky for me... lol that's a terrible reason I know but this keyboard is so sleek and beautiful lol. If i was a talented professional pianist or a very serious pianist. I'd definetly go with the Alesis Coda hammer action/fully weighted version. It seems like all you really need in a keyboard. But for my needs this one is perfect and easy to play.
I do wish that the semi weighted keys could be more weighted.. but that's just me being Nick picky. My casio ltk? Is less weighted than the recital. So this is a great enough upgrade for me atm. The recital is also more weighted than the legato which was one of my reasons for choosing it over the legato. For the price, I feel with Alesis you get more bang for your buck. Which for someone on a budget like me is super important.
On my casio ltk? My favorite sound was the muted, mellow piano sound. I wish the Alesis recital had an option to sound more muted but it's full and realistic sound is a winner. It sounds much better than the Yamahas in a much higher price bracket. Ahh technology. It's a great time to be alive lol

I'm happy with this keyboard so far
Update:I love this keyboard. I have not had any problems with it at all. Contrary to my original review below, this keyboard is louder than I realized. I very rarely have it turned all the way up. Even with the headphones on, full volume is too much for me. So, all I can say is that the Alesis keyboard I received is exactly what I wanted and I am very happy with it.Original Review:Let me begin by saying that I am a beginner in playing the piano. I've only had three lessons so far so don't judge me. I purchased this particular keyboard based on several key points that I was personally looking for in my first learner piano.1.) I was looking for a keyboard with 88 keys because I'm learning on a grand piano that has 88 keys. This keyboard has 88 keys so that's check one.2.) I was looking for a keyboard with the LEAST amount of features because all I want is a piano so why pay for a whole lot of features I don't intend to use? This keyboard has only five voices and a metronome plus a couple of other features like being able to blend any two voices together at a time. Very basic so that's check two.3.) At first I wasn't looking for a white keyboard .... until I saw one during my research. This keyboard is white so that's check three.4.) I wanted a keyboard with semi weighted keys and this keyboard has semi weighted keys so that's check four.5.) I wanted a light weight keyboard and in my opinion this keyboard is light weight so that's check five.6.) I wanted a keyboard that has connections for headphones, a sustain pedal and speakers or an amp. This keyboard has exactly that so that is check six.7.) I wanted a keyboard that was 'inexpensive' but not 'cheap'. This keyboard fit the bill and was within my budget I allowed myself for a first keyboard. I chose this one over a similar Casio and a similar Yamaha based on price alone. That was check seven.Bear in mind that I have only had this keyboard for one day so as for it's durability or life span, I cannot comment on those. However, I can say that all the features work so far and the keyboard sounds fine to me. As long as it lasts, it should suit me fine as I learn how to play.The only negative thing I have to say about this keyboard is that it isn't very loud. The maximum volume is 'okay' for me as I practice in my bedroom and don't want to be very loud anyway. Besides I've ordered headphones for it so that should be fine.The other items in my pictures were also purchased on Amazon and work perfectly with this keyboard.The Standhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01B15JPCQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1The Benchhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0773R5QVY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s04?ie=UTF8&psc=1Sustain Pedalhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LX1H4HC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Headphoneshttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013WW8WRK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
