Carry-on Folding Piano

This affordable practice instrument has been designed from the ground-up to solve that age old problem for veteran piano players: "how can I easily transport an 88-key piano?" It's also equally suitable if you're a beginner who's looking for a first piano that can be stored away while not in use. Unique Design The folding mechanism feels solid. All wires are carefully enclosed in strong, but flexible plastic. That isn’t likely to be a point of failure later, no matter how many times you fold or unfold it. The library is almost the same as other foldable keyboards on this list, featuring 128 different sounds, and rhythms, 21 demos, and 4 metronomes.

While an Accompaniment is playing, if you press the keys between A0 and G#2 the chord will synchronise to the style. You can even adjust the beat on the fly. The speakers aren’t the best in terms of sound quality. Not terrible, but not great. Thankfully the headphone output is clean. With a design like this, you'd expect there to be some compromises when it comes to feel, sound and performance. However, that's not the case at all.

Unique DesignI’ve owned Vangoa VGD-882 for some time now and I can definitely say it’s been a game-changer. I can carry it anywhere by just folding it in half and putting it into its bag. Sometimes even at home, I prefer to play the Vangoa over my Yamaha P-45 because it’s much easier to carry around when I feel like playing in another room. The standout feature of this folding piano is definitely the sound and speaker system. Unlike most other foldable keyboard pianos, the speakers produce a clearer and more powerful sound. The accompanying styles you can play in are just as varied, covering everything from pop and disco to soul and disco over 128 different options.

Customer reviews

But it's not just its folding capabilities that make the Carry-On Folding Piano 88 so great; a wide range of features will enhance your enjoyment and learning while playing this folding piano. You can also read my full review of this keyboard to get more information and learn about my experience.

key polyphony means you could mash down 64 of the 88 keys all at once and they’d all play normally without being cut off. That’s pretty good for a piano of this price. While deciding, I would suggest looking into the price, weight, compactness, and any unique feature that the other foldable pianos don’t necessarily feature. There is also a very cool noise cancellation technology that reduces the sound of the keys while playing with earphones, which is a huge plus that is not found in other foldable keyboards. This technology provides you with a more focused playing experience.With a design like this, one might expect there to be some compromises when it comes to feel, sound and performance. However, that's not the case at all. Each of the 49 keys delivers a proper touch and response.

This is bolstered by 128 custom accompaniments and 30 demo songs, which are both especially handy practice tools for mastering various playing styles. The built-in metronome comes standard with six contrasting accent settings. If you prefer silent practice, a stereo 3.5mm headphone output lets you connect your favourite cans.
