My review

I never thought we would see the day when a decent and serious keyboard would hit the market for less than £40 — but here it is, the RockJam RJ549. For such a low price, it still offers good sound and a few options to keep your child engaged. So does it deliver? Let’s find out.

Sound

The sound was my biggest concern, given the price. At £32, my expectations were very low — which is the right approach. The sound is a little tinny, but for this price, it’s not unexpected. A better sound would increase the cost significantly, so this is completely understandable.

For children aged 2–5, the sound quality wouldn’t be an issue. They wouldn’t notice or complain that it doesn’t sound like a real piano. If you want to spend more for higher-quality sound, you’d likely be looking at a different keyboard anyway.

Features

The RJ549 has 49 keys — not a lot, but perfect for small beginners. I’d recommend it for ages 1–5. A child could play lots of songs with this setup, and if they progress, you can upgrade later.

It comes with 10 instruments (voices), 10 rhythms, and 8 percussion sounds. While not huge numbers, it’s sufficient for a beginner, especially at this price.

Stickers for the keys are included, which is extremely helpful for learning notes. Paired with a beginner music book that uses letter notes, your child can start playing quickly.

Exclusive content in the Simply Piano app is also included. You can even use headphones, which is a blessing for parents’ ears, and there’s a music stand included too. For such a low price, it’s impressive how much they’ve included.

Price/Summary

At £32, this is an absolute bargain. Don’t be put off by comments about the sound or the number of features — this is a children’s beginner keyboard.

The RJ549 is ideal for parents who want to see if their child will enjoy learning an instrument without spending a lot. If your child loses interest within a week, you’ve only spent £32 — the cost of an hour of tuition! If their interest returns, you’ve got a solid starting point.
