Critic Reviews

Alesis Nano Piano

soundonsound.com

Alesis NanoPiano: A compact powerhouse boasting a high-quality stereo piano sound, suitable for both classical and contemporary settings, thanks to its impressive 64-note polyphony and vast preset collection. While its minimalistic design lacks a display and user memories, the rich, full-bodied sound and affordability make it a must-hear for any musician seeking a budget-friendly piano module. Some may find the front-panel knobs a bit flimsy and manual lacking in detail, but the overall performance and sound quality outweigh these minor drawbacks. A hit for those needing piano without the price or bulk.
