KONIX Folding Piano Review

Small, but pretty mighty! This keyboard weighs just over 8 lbs, can be battery-powered or plugged into an outlet, folds into a convenient size, comes with a carrying case, is MIDI and Bluetooth compatible, and has many more helpful features! It's super affordable, and makes a great practice instrument if you're traveling! The sound is just average, but for what it's designed to do, I think it does a fine job.

I think it would work well for visiting those who cannot get out.

[@NatalieRaynesMusic]

Absolutely! That is a great idea!

[@LillieLong]

Yes!

[@LillieLong]

My thinking exactly

[@huskidawgs]

Natalie--I really believe that one could build a keyboard from coconut hulls and firewood, and you would make it sound great!!

[@BrettPenza]

Great vid, Natalie, love the hymns! I’m guessing midi capability could greatly enhance the sound, yes? My biggest concern is durability. Do you think this keyboard could hold up for a gigging jazz/pop keyboardist? Thanks for rec!!

[@zeinebworld4397]

Hello, I'm a piano player Do you recommend this keyboard for a long trip ? Can it replace a piano ? Especially the keys are they strong and helpful for practice and not losing progress or just very light like an Org ? Thank u very much

[@leoorona1482]

That's a picnic piano! 😃🤭

[@NatalieRaynesMusic]

It would be perfect for a picnic! 😅😅

[@tkaychandler1964]

Take to nursing home or prison ministries. I think it sounds good but could use some more speakers.

[@NatalieRaynesMusic]

Wonderful idea! And yes, with the bluetooth capabilities, it would be easy to connect to much better speakers.

[@JenoLuzon]

Where can I buy this piano?

[@NatalieRaynesMusic]

Amazon. Links in the product description!

[@gitarman666]

It has midi out? So one should be able to access high quality piano patches For example, I have moddart pianoteq 7 , Arturia V and other libraries and any of my controllers can play those vst’ with midi I would be wary of bluetooth due to latency

[@ChelseaBushman]

I agree, this unit could be quite handy for certain church ministries, like outdoor Bible School events or elderly care centers. The tone sounds very electronic & a bit metallic, and perhaps future models could improve upon that, but otherwise the portability is convenient. 🙂 Question: Are the keys full-size (with the traditional octave span)?

[@thedave1602]

Great video. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. You reckon you could maybe record in higher resolution than 360p. I haven't seen that since early 2000's. It was 2023 when this video was made. Phone's can do 4k. Just a thought.

[@nmrn672]

I immediately thought about a missionary who needed a piano as he/she was overseas.

[@jabez9710]

I looked at this keyboard for a while. Thanks for review of it… I am resolved No longer to linger Torn by the world's delight Things that are higher Things that are nobler These have allured my side I will hasten to him Hasten so glad and free (So glad and free) Jesus greatest highest I will come to thee I am resolved To go to the savior Leaving my sin and strive He is the true one.

[@JaselMarcha]

Wow , it is so amazing ma'am natalie that's the perfect if it use to Sunday School kids room or etc. Perfect sounds! ❤️

[@PatrickHuynh-c2x]

Where could I find a piano that could fold 8 times and fit into my cargo pants.

[@MrLemonPacks]

How long should it take to charge?

[@NatalieRaynesMusic]

I’m not sure… a couple hours at least.

[@MrLemonPacks]

@@NatalieRaynesMusic aight

[@applemac100100]

Natalie this is a super idea and I agree with all the suggested comments where it would be useful.

[@loriagaedson5412]

Brand?

[@ACELog]

Bear in mind that the "tinny" sound is likely largely due to the small inbuilt speakers. Playing through a decent pair of headphones, or a good external amp and speakers (or powered speakers), will likely give a much better sound nearer to an actual piano. In fact, the sample-set (sound the notes make) will have been taken from a recording of a REAL piano anyway. Seems like there's no pp pedal - only a sustain, but for around £150 - can't complain! It's good that it does give 88 notes of the correct spacing. Perfect for someone who doesn't have storage space for the normal unfolded keyboard length.

[@NatalieRaynesMusic]

Agreed!

[@timothybrewer5470]

Just found your channel. Would you be willing to play and sing A Sinner Like Me by Charles J Butler. I’ve scoured the internet and it is not commonly recorded apparently and it’s such a sweet hymn.

[@danimontoyajimenez7449]

You can combine 2 sounds together ejp piano + string

[@julievanderleest]

I mean I can see those in senior living or nursing homes, really enjoying this. It’s definitely easier to move. However, I have a keyboard that is easy enough to move around and does sound better. Still not as well as my piano but decent enough.

[@tynran]

I’ve had this keyboard for a couple of years now (I think it’s an older model). As a flight crew member and an intermediate piano student learning hymns, I highly recommend this keyboard as a temporary substitute to keep up with certain skills as a keyboardist, especially simple sight reading and chord learning while “on the road”. I would never use it as a replacement for a acoustic piano or a good weighted keyboard, though. What sold me was it perfectly fits in my airline approved carry on bag! No more excuses for not practicing daily! Ha!

[@jand7782]

Natalie, you could play Schroeder's* piano and make it sound concert-worthy. 😊 (*Peanuts cartoon reference)

[@huskidawgs]

My dad used to take a small (but still bulky) portable piano to the municipal jail for jail services; this would have been a wonderful alternative.

[@cornywall3951]

As a youth we often go singing but we can't be accompanied by a piano, this would be wonderful for that

[@Laura-wb6mp]

Can any tell me if this has a transposer and if so, if it shows the number transposed to on a screen?

[@timothydewa9096]

Hello mam, how does the keys feel? Similiar to decent digital pianosnor having a heavy feel mimic close to church organ?

[@NatalieRaynesMusic]

No, very cheap, light-weight. They’re just plastic keys.

[@HonorV2ultimate1tb]

where are the speakers?

[@likeariver2237]

What about voice students ? Choral sectionals learning music? Lots of impromptu music applications? Yup.

[@NatalieRaynesMusic]

Absolutely! I thought of so many more reasons it could be used AFTER I posted the video. :) People commented, suggesting its use in assisted living or nursing home residences, playing for shut-ins or elderly saints, use for church plants starting out in small spaces, etc... So many places where it is practical!

[@peggybegin8241]

Great. Thanks for sharing.😊

[@kakylong2]

Natalie, What piano would you recommend for beginners who do not have a lot of space? Thank you. 😊

[@NatalieRaynesMusic]

It depends on budget, really! Can you send me an email at [e-mail] and I’ll give you some detailed information?

[@Numberonesorabjifan]

Are the keys loud when you press them. Will it bother others around you if you are playing while wearing headphones?

[@NatalieRaynesMusic]

It would be an audible sound, yes. That's true for any electric keyboard.

[@KW-es2bz]

I’m amazed! Thank you!

[@dominickrexroad]

That’s so neat! Love it!

[@johnsmith4900]

Wonder if Yamaha could copy folding piano but keep their 'grand' sound.

[@NatalieRaynesMusic]

Good idea! I wish!

[@BrettPenza]

Could you not add a Yamaha portable synth, midi connect & use this keyboard as your controller? If possible, you’d be making some great sounds with portability for a small fraction.

[@curronhill2744]

What was the clicking sound? Was it the hinge joint?

[@NatalieRaynesMusic]

While I was playing? That would just be the keys. They’re semi-weighted. The hinge joint is actually super strong.

[@loisjackson3846]

Great to take to our convalescence homes.

[@NatalieRaynesMusic]

It would be perfect for that!!

[@Laura-wb6mp]

Does it have an organ sound?

I don't think it transposes.

[@wetlandweasel]

Can it be used as a midi controller?

[@NatalieRaynesMusic]

Yes!

[@NatalieRaynesMusic]

Absolutely.
