I have one! I take it with me for work trips in my checked suitcase. It is a luxury to have a piano in my hotel room to come home to at the end of the day. And it’s fun to take it over to a friends house, unroll it and play for them what I’m working on.
I had a 61 roll-up before and got rid of it for a Folding Piano 88 from Carry-On. The keyboard folds into 4 pieces which is handy to put into a suitcase. The latest release of the keyboard is touch sensitive. A roll-up piano was invented at least 2 decades ago. So far no manufacturer managed to make the keys touch sensitive. Since the keys are basically sitting on the table, don't think any of them will ever be touch sensitive unless a manufacturer would raise the keys slightly higher like the Folding Piano 88 which is a fraction of an inch high. With a bit of height, the keyboard can detect whether you're pressing a key slowly or quickly giving a softer or louder sound.
I think it sounds better than most. I am looking for a good sound. I have 5 pianos but travel a lot. I want a roll up for hotels and 9 hour plane rides!
This kind of hand-rolled pianois especially suitable for beginners or daily practice . It is easy to carry and not easy to damage. Our company specializes in producing this kind of product.
I personally disagree...even a beginner will be held back by the lack of touch response. Not being able to play notes at different volumes will put a damper on the progress of even a 6 year old beginner student.
@@PianowithNateI think that also depends on what you are practicing for. Pianos are used for more than just actual piano practice. For example it is common to use one to support singing practice.
This is the only one I've tried. My impression is that none of them are very good. Does your friend absolutely need a roll-up keyboard because of space/traveling? I would highly recommend a regular keyboard with touch sensitive keys if at all possible.
Hey, I don’t know if you take suggestions, but if you do, could you make a tutorial for Taylor Swift’s “Mad Woman”? Also adore your videos they’re really useful, lots of love from Italy 💕
to be honest, the key press velocity is kinda a big deal for pianists, and it's like, it could be pretty simply to code and implement, and feel like the creators of the device could team up with some pianists like you and a few others and like. fine tune it to be a better device more in line with being translatible from real keywork to the device or from the device to real keywork, and allow for finessment and instantiation and greater reverb and note calls like.... It has potential.
Someone gifted me one of these for Christmas about 13 years ago. The box art for mine looks almost the same as yours, and it seems the technology itself hasn't evolved in that time either. 😅 I keep hoping some reputable manufacturer will take this concept under their wing and develop it with actual musicianship in mind. I'm talking high-quality silicone with a good amount of give, properly raised accidental keys, better keypress recognition, etc. I have a feeling the concept could work well if only it were given proper R&D backing and quality control. Alas, the makers of these seem to regard them only as novelty toys and are uninterested in putting out anything approaching a usable musical instrument. Ever seen the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Lessons"? There's a lovely scene where Captain Picard and his lady friend make music together in the belly of the ship. She uses a gold-plated roll-up piano that sounds like a powerful grand piano. (Thanks to the magic of post-production, of course!) Ever since I saw that episode many years ago, ***that*** is what I've wished these flimsy things could be... 😮💨
I totally agree, great concept if someone can only execute it well! Oh man, that Star Trek scene is awesome, I just looked it up haha: th-cam.com/video/c4y_oWBiwAo/w-d-xo.html
Not being able to articulate/accent notes is the biggest turn off. Imagine trying to sing a song but every word is the EXACT same volume, tone/feel... yuck.
I need one of these for my son who is on a mission for our church and travels to a new location every few months - do you think this was the best brand that you reviewed @pianowithNate ? There seems to be several different brands. Have you tried any others since you posted this video?
Hi Wendy! Honestly this is the only one I have ever played on and I was more reviewing the concept than the particular model. I'm sure there are other reviews or comparisons online that will be more helpful...good luck!

It's a perfect gift for a learner! Am buying this for my son as a birthday gift.
Since I am an adult imma gift myself one of these.
Hey @Mimi-Hapa how did it go with your son I'm thinking of of getting it for my son is it worth it?

Interesting!!

That's a really good argument for these that I didn't think of - pretty much your only option if you want to play on a flight!!
thanks for the info, still in the decision making process
That Electric piano sounded pretty nice.
Agreed!

Thanks for doing this! I debated getting one for practicing but maybe it would be a better gift for my kids to mess around with!
Thank you it was fun to watch you improvise on a weird keyboard 😂
haha thanks! It was fun to make this
This really helped, thanks dude! :D
Glad to hear it!
Not for professional use but for solo practice its more than enough.

I like this
Which one would u say is the best. I myself am a pianist but my friend needs one of these roll ups and i swear i have no clue which is a good choice.

Brand?
Can I have it to practice moving my fingers on keys? I am Zero level😂
It would "work", but I would recommend starting with something with real keys!
thanks for the review, i think i'll just go get the normal keyboard

@@PianowithNate Glad you liked it! Talk about relationship goals... 😊
Thanks, I think I’ll put my money somewhere else
is it good for a first synthesizer/piano?
No :-/
Ha il MIDI ?
I believe it does through the USB port, but I didn't test it
@@PianowithNate Grazie !
Pull the Chain On This😂😂😂
Stop on. I just purchased one and regretting it. I was hopping to use on vacation to keep in practice, sigh…
dang! I mean...i think it's better than *nothing* for messing around on a vacation
Got one and can play Erika on that shi

Totally!
Mettere qualcuno che sapesse suonare forse sarebbe stato meglio ... Terribile, passa subito la voglia di comprare il prodotto.
It can not be recommended ...
Why?
Why not?
