Vangoa folding piano features 128 tones and rhythms, along with 20 demo songs. In addition to MIDI connectivity, one of the notable features of this keyboard is that it has a Bluetooth connectivity option that allows you to wirelessly connect it to piano learning apps. The carrying bag is cloth and good quality with a snap closure. It is big enough for everything that ships with the piano with room left over for sheet music or headphones or whatever. The keys aren’t velocity sensitive, so you won’t be able to vary the sound levels with the action of your hands. The unit itself has held up well to periodic playing. None of the keys are broken and all functions work. The included USB cable is still ok, but I don’t think it would hold up well if crimped tightly for an extended period of time. Mine is mostly tied up in the included bag. I don’t leave the keyboard plugged in. I definitely recommend getting yourself a longer cable if you’re going to use it plugged in regularly. 4 feet just doesn’t cut it in my opinion.

That’s pretty good for a piano of this price. By the way, if you’re a beginner on a budget who wants to learn on an 88-key keyboard, this list of the best cheap 88-key keyboards can also help you.
