Description

You have a lot of variation options with the Casio CT-S1 Black. The keyboard has 61 keys to play up to 5 octaves. The piano has 7 main groups, like piano, e-piano, or organ. This way, you can play multiple instruments on this keyboard. In the main group, you can choose from 4 variations, like a vintage style. In each style, your tone is different. The keys are touch-responsive, so the tone responds precisely to what you're doing. If you press the key firmly, you hear a loud tone. You can set the touch-responsiveness of the keys. You can play without a power cord if you put 6 AA batteries in the keyboard, so you can perform outside. If you buy a keyboard strap, you can hang the keyboard on your neck or shoulders, so you can play while standing.

This model may not be the cheapest but it is very good. Price quality is very good. Sound is very good, possibilities are extensive, keys feel great. Very satisfied with this device. Before this I had a very old and entry-level keyboard that cannot be compared to the quality of this device!

Very good keyboard!

• Small is beautiful
• Nice sound
• Clear operation
• Headphone input in an awkward place

I was looking for a not too large keyboard/piano.
After many reviews I ended up with this casio. This brand was not at the top of my list, but it surprised me in a positive way!
There aren't hundreds of sounds in there, but that's not what I was looking for. The sounds in it are all beautiful! Now I grew up in the 70ties and in this keyboard I find sounds of hits from that time. Not really important, but nice.
Operating/changing the various sounds is almost self-explanatory.
There are 7 main sounds and you can adjust them in standard, advanced, modern, vintage.
It has a metronome and you can also record your strumming.
There is a headphone input and also USB. There is the option to connect a separate Bluetooth dongle.
The boxes are hidden under a fabric-covered strip above the keys. The sound without headphones is definitely good for a keyboard of this size/price! I previously had a Yamaha from the NP series and this Casio is absolutely in no way inferior. The sound might even be better!
If you want to learn to play, but don't want to pay the top price and still enjoy a nice sound, then this is definitely recommended.
The keys feel nice. Not smooth, but slightly roughened.
The only minor downside is the connections, which are mainly located in the middle of the back. You have to be creative with the cord of your headphones so that it does not hinder your playing.
The accompanying booklet is a bit sparse, but it contains all the basic options.
Look at reviews online, they are very clear and you can get started right away.
If you're just starting out: first learn some basic chords and you'll soon be able to play some songs! Enjoy! It won't be the fault of this keyboard.
Of course delivered super quickly by Coolblue.
