Alesis Melody 54 – 54-Key Portable Keyboard Review

Overview

The Alesis Melody 54 is a compact and budget-friendly keyboard aimed at beginners and children. Priced around £55, it’s accessible for all ages and is perfect for someone just starting out.

Sound

The sound quality is surprisingly good for such an inexpensive keyboard. The built-in speakers project sound well, and the keyboard includes a variety of voices such as piano, bass, strings, clarinets, flutes, and pads. While they don’t perfectly mimic real instruments, they are quite close considering the price.

Features

• 300 voices and accompaniments

• Record and playback function

• Layer and split capabilities (play two instruments at once or split the keyboard for two players)

• Intros and endings for automatic song starts and finishes

• Comes with a music stand and microphone for karaoke or singing along

• 3-month premium subscription to Skoove’s online lessons

The record and playback functions allow beginners to review their playing, while layer and split functions enhance creativity. The keyboard also includes a fun karaoke feature with the microphone and music stand.

Keys

The 54 keys are sufficient for beginners. Most beginners won’t need more keys until they progress further.

Price and Summary

At around £55, the Alesis Melody 54 offers excellent value for money. While the sound and speakers aren’t comparable to higher-end keyboards, it provides everything a beginner needs to start learning. This makes it an ideal gift for children, friends, or anyone looking to start their keyboard journey.
