Ah - glad they exist elsewhere then. I was trying to find a reference to the Yamaha microphone they're also selling, and came up with nothing!

My daughter has had one of these for a couple of years and it has proved to be a good quality keyboard and after a good deal of young kids abuse it is still working very well.

For my money the Yamaha would win hands down. D/D has used various models for the last 15 years since she started learning at age 4. Now teaches the Yamaha learning system to beginners, at least she did till she went to Uni. Try to find a Yamaha trained teacher they are the best you can get.
PS. I couldn't even play a triangle, kept getting it the wrong way up.

Is the piano sound good? Is the stand needed?

to be honest...although my reply was a bit tongue in cheek....you don't really want one of these being played on the kitchen or dining room table....best invest in a stand and let the kids play in their bedroom....or the garage.....or the house at the far end of the street....

Or get them a pair of headphones.
