Casio Casiotone CT-S1 61-key Touch Sensitive Portable Keyboard - BLACK

Why did you pick this product vs others?: It is a great keyboard with minimal features, that help in learning to play. As someone who wants to learn the skill, I did not want a lot of accompaniment styles and on board song banks, which I think is a dead payload, IMHO. This keyboard has great keys, with a nice texture that do not feel "plasticky". The keys feel real good. Features: Minimal features, that help you learn the skill of playing, and also get you to play the keyboard without a lot of distraction of fancy features. Quality: The keys have a great feel and do not make a residual plastic noise. They respond well to the touch. Music selection: The patches sound great. the piano patches have great variations and great sound. The sound is bright, warm, full and rich.

This keyboard is really good. The sound is clear and smooth, and the keys feel nice to play. It's easy to use and works well for both beginners and more experienced players. A solid choice if you want a reliable keyboard

I am a beginner who wanted a keyboard to practice and learn. You have other options which are considerably lower in price than this one like the CT S200 but I went for this one for the following reasons: 1. Superior sound quality due to a better quality chip which reproduces piano tones very well 2. Touch sensitive keyboard 3. Quality over quantity, the other keyboards have more tones to choose from which was useless for me since I was only interested in the piano tone To add to all of it, the keyboard looks pretty clean and is well made. Happy with my purchase.

One heck of a unit for the price, it has very few sounds but are genuinely high quality. The sustain hold is very good even if used with a cheap pedal, and the bluetooth to midi function is very helpful for producers and instrumentalists in general.

It’s been a year with this instrument. I bought it mainly for piano-style playing, and it performs well, there’s a touch of acoustic feel to it. The design is elegant, minimal, and pleasing to the eye. Build quality feels solid and durable, supported by a 3-year peace-of-mind warranty. It’s beginner-friendly, though there’s a learning curve with the controls: some piano voices are just one button away, while others require combinations, such as switching to lower octaves, which one should be familiar with. A few downsides: it isn’t very portable, as it eats through AA batteries, and the included adapter feels cheap. Also, 61 keys can be limiting for classical piano pieces/sonatas, and the absence of a USB-C port is disappointing. Check out the attached video(using sustain pedal)

Piano sound quality is superb at this price. Note that this piano don't have lots of number of tones and functions. It is more focus on realistic piano sound. Keys are touch sensitive and you have to stroke it according to music but it can be adjusted by function keys. Weight of this keyboard is as usual like other. Best for - hobby, music for relaxing, playing in party or group meet, self learning. Not for - performing in orchestra/ indian weddings/ functions, if learning for professional use, no use where sound variety matters. Function key is little bit tricky but you will be used to it. The video is day 2 of my learning

Simply amazing, just go for it.

Amazing Choice for someone who wants to learn notes piano. And one who specially wants to play with chords the most!

The best mini piano have ever used so far•

I have been using it for three months+- now and I honestly am very happy with the purchase. The keys feel nice, look nice, and sound nice too. 100% recommend.

音がとても素晴らしいです。同価格帯の他社製品と比較して、ピアノの音が最も美しいと思いました。価格以上の価値がある電子キーボードだと思います。

Llevaba un tiempo buscando un teclado secundario y portable para llevar conmigo cuando estoy de viaje y matar el gusanillo de tocar un poco. Ya sé que no es lo mismo que un piano "de verdad", pero no puedo llevarme mi piano acústico en el coche. He probado de todo: el P45 de Yamaha, el Privia de Casio, un teclado plegable de una marca que no mencionaré... Los primeros son pianos eléctricos más que decentes, pero demasiado voluminosos y pesados como para transportarlos con facilidad. En cuanto al teclado plegable... Uf... Digamos que se trata de una excelente idea pésimamente ejecutada, con un tacto penoso y un sonido aún peor (¿para cuándo un teclado plegable decente de una marca reconocida?). Una verdadera lástima, porque era comodísimo de transportar y, una vez desplegado, tenías un teclado de tamaño completo a tu disposición. Este nuevo Casiotone suena verdaderamente bien, como un Privia. Los altavoces proporcionan un sonido decente incluso a tope de volumen. El aspecto es robusto. El plástico de las teclas está levemente texturizado y es agradable, aunque esto irá en gustos, claro. El teclado en sí no es contrapesado, es decir, no tiene en absoluto el tacto de un piano acústico ni el de un buen piano eléctrico, pero ofrece cierta resistencia y tiene una buena sensibilidad. En la parte negativa: que solo tiene 61 teclas, claro. Se queda pequeño para interpretar muchas piezas, pero los teclados similares de 88 teclas son realmente enormes para un maletero convencional (me repito: ¡¿para cuándo un teclado plegable decente?!). Lo recomendaría para aquellas personas que quieren un teclado secundario fácil de transportar para viajar con él o para tocar en cualquier sitio fuera de casa. Para los principiantes puede servir para dar los primeros pasos sin un gran desembolso, pero durante muy poco tiempo: si continúas tocando el piano vas a necesitar un teclado completamente contrapesado donde la dureza y el tacto de las teclas sea más realista que en el Casiotone o en cualquier otro teclado de esta gama.

Mind blowned how compact it is and how good it sounds, my kid loves it!
