So many complaints about a $50 keyboard with stand and seat not being top of the line. I guess it's not a deal if it's not an $800 Porsche. Probably still complain about the gas mileage on that too.
Even if so, the bench alone cannot be found for less than $20. Not on Amazon, not CL.

I have my own digital piano already, but frankly to include the stand, keyboard, and bench for $50 this seems like an incredible deal.
As far as the incentivized reviews on Walmart's site, I believe that's part of the Walmart Spark program where people get free products in exchange for a review, so you're correct there - however, while I can't speak for this particular product, Alesis is a well known brand.

As far as the post, yeah, that's kind of SD's thing, they make their money from being affiliates and hijacking click-thrus on each deal post and posting sponsored "deals". Personally, I find staff posts to typically be a bit more in the lukewarm category, but without these "promotions" if you will, we wouldn't have this site.

Edit: Also, upon looking up this particular model, it may be a lower end model made exclusively for Walmart. The only places I see information on it are Walmart, Alesis's website and other deal sites. Is it a deal? It's hard to say for certain, but it doesn't pass the sniff test, that's for sure. I'd be wary.

I bought the alesis melody bundle from Amazon for $125. Same bundle. Went to alesis website and per their descriptions, there is no difference between the talent 61 and the melody 61. Just saved myself $75. Thanks!

I think this is essentially the same keyboard as a harmony 61 MKII, which we bought because we thought it was a Harmony 61, not realizing the MKII is a downmarket version with no USB support. I will be forever annoyed with Alesis because of that.

Can you expand on this? I bought the Harmony MK II from Guitar Center and am trying to see if I should just get this instead.

As far as I can tell they're the same, just with different headphones.

Thanks….I did a good bit of research and they just looked like different models for retailers (Harmony for GC, Talent for WM, Melody for Amazon). Probably just going to get this instead but wanted to make sure that was the right call.

For those haters who says that this 50$ keyboard is not good for learning because of the non weight keys, which model do you recommend us buying as a introductory keyboard for a toddler?

Picked up this one after ordering the Casio 61 deal a few days ago. Can't imagine there will be a significant difference in playing on these two keyboards. So I'll take the stand and seat and keep the $12 savings. Thanks OP!

Doh! Sorry, yes the stand is what I meant.

That's why I gave a crappy answer. I was confused

I did the math and found that after you exclude the cost of accessories, there's not enough money left over to buy this fancy keyboard that's currently on sale: https://www.target.com/p/little-t...A-82678362

What I like about this deal is that you get a bench, microphone, headphones, and a large piece of plastic board with keys that make sound for less than $50!! I can always add weights to the keys later using bricks, leftover wood, or extra bolts, etc. Much cheaper that way but I still don't understand what that would accomplish. This is supposed to be portable so I wouldn't want the keys weighing it down. laugh out loud

I think this keyboard is much better than its closest competitor linked above but I'm not a musician so I could be wrong.

I bought two and will convert the bench from the spare one into a laptop stand. Peace

I know nothing about this keyboard but for what it's worth, I recently paid $70 for a low end stand and bench for the keyboard I currently have. If I was able to return it I would buy this deal instead just for those two items.

Got this set at Costco a few months ago for someone. They love it and use it regularly.

I bought a $100 almost like new Yamaha PSR E373 from FB market place. Now I see this deal is it more worth it since it includes everything? Yamaha one came with power adpater only. But it has pressure sensitive keys and everything I believe. Any suggestions?

Price went up to $69. But at least now it will arrive before Christmas (for me) so I guess it's worth the extra $20. It was going to arrive almost a week late and that was not gonna work out for me since it is a Christmas present.

For future reference, Walmart's delivery estimates are fairly conservative based on my past experience. I ordered yesterday with an original delivery estimate of mid-next week but now it's arriving this weekend. Worst case, you can always return if it's late. If you're spending more money, some other options open up. Check out the Casio thread for better keyboards in $80-100 range: https://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=152076859&postcount=32. They don't come with all the accessories, which may be a deal breaker for you.

We're trying to set this up for xmas and are having trouble how to set up the stand; instructions show straps, but how to attach? Anyone have a link to this specific setup instructions, or tips? Thanks in advance!
