Casiotone SA-81 – Compact Keyboard with 100 Tones & 50 Rhythms | Fun for Beginners | Great for Music Practice and Learning

Great for Beginners! Quality product, great sound, easy functionality, compact and lightweight. Has all the best features if you're looking to start your little one on their musical journey. Trust this review! I'm the guy who made the mistake of going the cheap route at first and bought the "China-special", when I should have ponied-up the extra dough for this quality little Casio.

Is exactly as described. Will be a great for my beginner grandson. The features are fun and the sound is very good.

It has Sounds on it to fit the most popular Songs. Drummer/ Preset Songs/ Great tool for recording on a digital recorder/ Audio Output/ . No AC Adapter Included/ Need a Positive tip Adapter/ (Probably something that fits a Casio)/ Make sure!. Very light in weight/ Great for grab & go Gigs/.

It would have been just right for my kid’s Christmas present, but she found a $10 keyboard at Five Below, so I returned this costly thing. I may have dodged a tragedy.

I have a Yamaha L85 88 key professional keyboard but it is not portable to take on camping trips etc. to pratice and have fun on when away form home. I tried a 32 key Alexisis. Although the Alexisis was very nice, 32 keys is playing at my absolute limits. I could perhaps do it. I saw the Casino 44 key and knew that I could practice most known songs at my skill level with no problem. The only problem was the Casino Keyboard had a lighter touch which I will need getting used two. The Alexisis speakers take up a lot of key room. They both are almost exactly the same size. The Casino Keybord keys are not blocked my speakers so more keys are possible. For a small child the Alexisis might be better because it feels smaller. 32 keys will play lesson book songs. The going opinion on the feedback in Amazon custormers is to go only with 61 and 88 keyboards. My Yamaha does have a professional keyboard and sound. I am not a musician and don't travel to play proffesionally. So playing music with a portable keyboard that sounds like a piano is all I need. I noticed praticing on my 44 key does improve my overall playing. A talented motivated child that is absoultely in love with a piano and agrees to practice daily; needs a really good 88 key. They must however agree to at least practicing at least 30 minutes every day. A nice sounding piano like my Yamaha will make anyone want to pratice. Taveling with a Casio 44 key is portable for most of playing outside the home. Paying over 70 dollars seems necessary not to receive a junk piano that is not pleasant even to listen to.

Perfect size for my 15 month old (13 months old in the video) with a hundred different tones (instrument noises) for him to mess with (not to mention the rhythms and songs). Batteries drain fast if it’s used daily for hours so if you’re experiencing any unexpected shut offs, replace your batteries or get the AC adapter for $10-15 dollars. There are function keys to make the keys go up or down an octave as well as other advanced feature that go over my head as someone not trained in music (transposition and keys and frequency tuning?).

My child loved this! He is learning how to play it.

Sounds great! Purchased it for my 85 year old Mom and she loves it!
