The Williams Allegro digital piano is a highly versatile digital piano that is ready to play out of the box while still offering plenty of more advanced settings and features, making it well-suited for both beginner and intermediate to advanced pianists. This versatility along with a few of the piano’s innovative features and low price all make it a favorite for musicians today.
One of the best aspects about this piano is its key action. The Allegro comes with velocity sensitive, fully weighted keys that can detect how hard you have pressed the key and adjust the sound appropriately, just like a real piano, and for a piano in this price range the key action of the Allegro is quite impressive. Most any Williams Allegro 88-key digital piano review you will read will also be quick to point out the high quality of the realistic, reverberating sound the piano produces. Lastly, the Allegro is incredibly affordable, which is a nice bonus.
The Allegro does not have USB connectivity, so saving any music you produce is going to be an issue. Also, the speakers are not overpoweringly loud. This is not a concert piano like the Roland RD-300NX, nor is it a piano to produce music on. However, if you are looking for a great, affordable piano to learn to play on or one to just have some fun with then the Williams Allegro 88-key digital piano is an excellent choice.

Sound Quality
The speakers of the Allegro may not blow you back, but other than that the sound quality of this Williams keyboard is just fine. One Williams Allegro review really mentions how nice the reverb effect on the piano is, and I am inclined to totally agree. It really gives the Allegro a nice, realistic sound that imitates the resonance you get with the strings of a traditional piano.
The piano has a nice, full-bodied sound that is especially easy to appreciate in a piano this compact and affordable. Again, you probably won’t want to get up on stage with the Williams Allegro, but for playing from within your home the Allegro has a plenty good enough sound quality to pleasantly produce any song you would like to play.
Key Action and Realism
The key action of the Williams Allegro digital piano is one the most praised aspects of this piano. Obviously, no digital piano is going to be able to perfectly mimic the feel of a hammer striking strings, but they can get close, and that’s what the Allegro does.
Its fully weighted keyboard and velocity sensitive keys both provide a nicely realistic experience, especially for a keyboard style piano. If you are transitioning back and forth from a traditional piano to the Allegro, you should have no problem adjusting to the way the keyboard feels. In fact, you will probably feel very minimal difference at all.
Other Features and Specifications
Besides the fully weighted, velocity sensitive keys, which are a great touch, especially for an affordable keyboard, there are several other features of the Allegro that give it a leg up on most digital pianos in its price range. To begin with, it comes with a nice, easy to read LCD display.
The Allegro also has a headphone jack, can be used as a MIDI controller, and has ten different instrument sounds to choose from, including several different styles of piano and organs as well as a synth pad and strings. The Allegro weighs just a little over forty pounds and can be powered off of a battery or wall outlet, giving you the option of portability if you so desire.
