What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Listing details are inconsistent: dimensions appear as both 15.2L x 9.8W x 6.9H centimetres and 12.9 x 5.9 x 7.3 centimetres, while battery information names both a 9-volt alkaline battery and 1 AAA battery required. The title says keyboard players, but keyboard inclusion in the kit is unconfirmed. Customer feedback also reports that some buyers did not receive a battery or power cable, so check the selected listing contents.
