Casio CT-S200 61-Key Portable Keyboard

My daughter is taking piano lessons and this has been the perfect beginner piano. The keys seem to be more weighted than some of the smaller keyboards. The sound is very clear. I like that it's portable. She is really liking it.

This is a good keyboard for beginners and beyond! It has weighted keys and lots of "voices" to play with.

I gifted this keyboard for my best friend who was in a nursing home. I'd hoped it would give a few hours of enjoyment but she passed. I miss her terribly.,I really think she would have liked it. She loved to play and sing.

Well, to start off; it came quickly and without damage. That is a Good start:-) It is a Very Nice looking piece of equipment. The heft of it is good and it feels sturdy. One can use Double AA batteries or an AC adapter, so that makes it more convenient to operate depending on one's needs at the time. One can also use this keyboard with another device through a USB cable. However, one is Not provided so it will be up to each to buy one or perhaps might have one already that will work. This was probably my only negative thought on this instrument because Casio is known for Quality products and one might assume for the nominal cost it would have added they could have included it. I as most everyone else enjoys some genre of music. That said, I am more than a little instrumentally challenged so this is going to be a Nice learning experience for myself and my grandson. Going to have to pick up some music books to learn from and we'll probably bang around on this several times a month. It is also not very expensive so gifting this to someone you know is talented or wants to learn would not be a problem. Enjoy!-)

perfect starter for child - neohew is 6 %26 able to play simple tunes - very sturdy

I had what I call a baby keyboard before because there is no comparison this is simply the best keyboard for home use. I come from a family of music lovers and a few talented musicians and learning to play a keyboard has been on everyone's wish list. I love all the options with this one, not just background music but the ability to change how the keyboard sounds. I love the piano sound best for the keyboard and I love the actual songs already loaded to choose from to play along with. I found that Casio has an app called Chordana Play that can be loaded to a tablet or phone to teach you how to play. The keyboard actually has the ability to plug your tablet or phone in to it so you can use the app with the keyboard to make learning even easier. The keyboard has a carry handle and a sheet music holder that can also work keep your tablet or phone visible while learning. The keyboard uses batteries or the power cord included with it. Plug in your own pedals or microphone and you are ready to really take the keyboard to the next level. I am not quite ready to join a band but my kids and I are definitely learning how to change the sound of the keyboard and how to actually play. This is a great board for beginners or anyone who already knows how and with the ease of adding accessories it is the best one I have used.

The piano was an excellent addition to my house. I've always wanted to get better with the piano and have some fun & this was the perfect way to start. It offers a lot of musical sections for different styles of music if you need it in the background when creating your own tunes on the piano. The keys create excellent, crystal clear and sharp sounds. The extension cord was long enough for me to put my piano on my desk. I am really enjoying my new piano and the design is rich looking & made perfectly.

My son has been asking to take piano lessons, and I'm so glad I found this keyboard. The keys have pressure, so it will allow him to build up strength in his fingers, in a way that mimics playing a regular piano. There are so many settings and sounds on it, and my son's enjoy just playing with the settings as much as they do practicing. There is a large headphone jack on the back, as well as a regular headphone jack so that they can play quietly during homeschool hours while one brother is trying to finish up school. There is a place on the bottom where you can purchase a stand and set it on a stand. I love that it has a book prop, and it's removable, so that you can carry the entire keyboard like a handle. It's lightweight enough that my 10-year-old can carry it easily, yet it is still well made and solid and sturdy. I can't say enough good things about this keyboard. It is so much more than I thought it would be. It's perfect for setting up an iPad to use for online piano lessons.

Casiotone digital keyboard PROS -Light weight -has handle for easy carrying. -Can take six AA batteries or has the option to be plugged in. -Have has multiple plug in on the back side for phone,usb and a pedal. -keys have a nice feel to them and spring back easily. -it comes with a variety of sound effects/sounds choices like banjo,crystal,raindrop etc. which makes making your own music a lot of fun CONS -I did find the controls a little confusing -I wouldn't say its for beginners. -Wish it had a built in option to record your own music you make on it. -Digital screen is a nice bonus but is small -the power cord was needs to be longer.

Missing headphones. Says it comes with it. Opened it on Christmas Day and there are no headphones!
