  I looked at the pic before reading the title. It looked like a chunky synth.
  Then I spotted the iPad… OK, it's an oversized iPad accessory!

  I didn't even think that there would be accessories (and apps) like this. iPiano tutoring.

  The action on these is horrible. Like playing on a cheap plastic toy. I wouldn't pay $20 let alone $269. It belongs in the rubbish skip.

  Nah, when you actually get your hands on it, the thing feels so cheap and plastic. I guess it would do the job if you're into just inputting monophonic notes but actually trying to play like an instrument will have you in tears and feeling like you want to keep washing yourself and seek therapy.

    now you've got me thinking about cancelling my order, you wouldn't recommend it even for a beginner or kids to learn on?

      I reckon it would be fine for a beginner or for kids. Perfectly fine. If you're in any doubt though, you could always nip down to StoreDJ and try one out and then renew your order with Amazon.
