Casio Keyboard
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
My son love this keyboard. We have had this exact same one in the past but his previous one broke after extended use. I would have given this product a full 5 points except for the fact that we have only had it for a few weeks and the last key on the right doesn’t work anymore. Other than that it is a great little Piano and my 7 year old loves it. He has special needs and loves music and it makes a great learning tool for him.

Awesome Beginner Keyboard!!!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This keyboard has the BEST SOUND and the BEST FEATURES! For the price, I was skeptical when I ordered it. Then, it came, and I couldn’t believe how nice it was! I was so pleased, I ordered another one and gave to two different people as gifts for Christmas! In my opinion, this one is worth more than the asking price!!!

great keyboard
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I have dropped this keyboard many times and it is still alive. It can let you play 4 notes at a time so you can play cords. This keyboard isn’t very loud but it is durable. I recommend this to someone who wants a small keyboard to mess around with. For a keyboard like this it has a great price.
Better than children keyboards and is a great gift for beginers.

A Little Too Small
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I gave this item 4 stars because it lived up to what I ordered it for. The sound is good and it has numerous playing options. However, once I started playing with it, I realized that it was too small for my needs. There are not enough keys, and the keys are very small. I decided I wanted to get into really playing, rather than just playing around, so I borrowed a large keyboard and have been learning on that.
While this keyboard would be great for a child to begin learning on, it’s not for anyone who wants to seriously learn to play.
I do like the fact that it’s portable, and I can take it with me if I go out of town to keep in practice, or even if I want to move to another room, but next time I will get a full-size keyboard.
I really feel that the keyboard quality is excellent for a small keyboard, it just didn’t meet my needs.

Casio SA75 keyboard
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
The keyboard is adequate for my purpose and for the price. I wanted a simple keyboard to keep in my car to help learn my vocal music when I am out and about. The unit runs on battery and can play up to 3 notes in a chord. Not fancy but it meets the need. If it lasts long-term, I will be satisfied.

Great sound but LEC readout is funky

Great sounding funky little keyboard. Love it. Only problem is the LED display doesn’t read right. Was too much of a hassle to return it and get a replacement, so I just kept it. I love plunking on it.

I bought this for my three year old granddaughter and she loves it! The only problem was the microphone. She kept putting it to close to her mouth instead of just speaking into it. The microphone had stopped working by the time the party was over. We feel this was her fault and not a product defect. It is a good choice and the sound quality is good.

Gift for Young Son
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I purchased this keyboard for my 7-year old son for Christmas. He played with it for more than an hour the first day and each day there after for about a week. He is enjoying exploring the options including laughing at some of the set “songs”. He is still at the experimenting stage, not having official lessons yet. This keyboard would be good for beginners since it can do limited chords (only 4 notes at the same time). My only complaint is that it does not come with an AC adapter. We put rechargeable batteries in it for now.

My 15 year old son loves this, and my friend says he wants to get one like this for his 17 year old son too! My younger children also enjoy it! (9 & 12) There are so many options, and sounds, even sirens and insects. Children with autism LOVE THIS! Great quality too! [...]

Great keyboard!
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
This is a fabulous keyboard–excellent sound, when playing in “piano” mode, it sounds just like an actual piano is playing! It has lots of great extras and a tempo adjuster, we love it. My four star rating is only because it doesn’t come with an A/C adapter so you have to buy one separately or use 5 AA batteries, which kind of stinks. Overall though, great product.

This keyboard is FUN! My son purchased this to create sound effects for movies he creates on [...]. He loves it!

Perfectly fine and there *is* a headphone jack
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Note: I received one of these yesterday and there is a headphone jack in the back.
So that was a nice plus. Otherwise, it does what I need it to do — accurately represent the pitches of notes in choral music. It’s very light and I bought an adapter for it so that I can plug in it rather than waste batteries.
Maybe someday Casio will make a better small-scale keyboard just for adults who need to pluck out a melody or harmony every now and then, and don’t need rhythms or a hundred different funky tones. For now, this will do!

Awesome Value on a Casio Keyboard
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I needed a first keyboard for our son, who loves music. This is sooo worth the money. This keyboard feels like a good keyboard and plays beautifully with even dollar store batteries! The volume can be set really high or low and the microphone feature is a lot of fun too. Great buy.

Not bad, but not good either
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
I bought this keyboard to practice in my van during lunch. I figured that the other reviewers deemed this a pretty decent machine, so I bought it. I find it to be somewhat cheap. The keys are thin, and somewhat fragile. The volume goes right to full when you turn it on. The keys are small, but it is very portable. The “voices” are ok. The piano at lower octaves sounds overly synthetic. There is no variance on how you strike the key, you touch it and thats it, you get the full hit of the key.
For the money it is ok, it’s cheap enough…
There is a real market for something portable, small, and built well.
All the other smaller keyboards that I have seen are USB keyboards for your computer, and not for my van.

electronic keyboard
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I purchased the electronic keyboard for a birthday gift to give to our 13 year old grandaughter. The unit arrived as scheduled and was very nice however the keyboard had small keys, and she wanted one with piano size keyboard. I returned it to amazon and they put a credit to my credit card. Everything went smoothly and I look forward to future purchases with amazon.

Keyboard arrived in good condition and was compatible with the power supply I ordered separately. My kids have been having a blast with this little keyboard. The keys are not full-size, but both my son and daughter have found it to be a lot of fun with the different sounds and rhythms it produces. My son likes to take it to different rooms (and to friends’ houses), so the size makes it very portable. We’ve only had it for a few weeks, but so far so good.

Pretty Good.. Worth the price
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
I bought this recently. I had played in a Casio LK200 keyboard. Though there is a little difference in the sounds, but if I compare the price, this is worth it. There is a small feeble noise coming from the speaker if I press one of the first 3 keys. It is pretty ignorable and overview I should say, I like this.

Great for my 8-year-old son
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
This was purchased as a birthday present for my son. He has been wanting a “piano” for quite some time. He loves the headset microphone that came with it. The melodies are nice – I wish there were more. The only reason I didn’t give this a 5-star rating is because of the volume when you turn it on. It doesn’t start off on low – which is a shock to the system and ears. You can turn the volume down, but it is still pretty loud. Since this is just a toy at this point, it was a great purchase. I will probably end up buying the adapter so we don’t have to keep buying batteries for it.

Very nice keyboard
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This is a very nice small keyboard. The batteries last quite a while, making it very portable. The sound is quite good, and it has many of the bells and whistles you would expect. One thing I would like to point out is that it DOES HAVE AN EARPHONE JACK, so it can be played without disturbing others. Also, don’t pay for the expedited shipping, it costs too much and won’t come any sooner.

The Casio SA75 Keyboard with microphone is light, and has 100 different
musical tones. It’s 37 keys are just big enough for using right hand, (melody), and left hand, (harmony), together. The different tones can put the budding composer into different moods…trying the same song on a “church organ”, and on a “music box”, can give a very different feeling to the music! Sound Number 60, the “Glass Harmonica”, is especially intriguing. I don’t know enough about electronic keyboards to know if this sound is one that is usually included in most of them — but I do know that this “Glass Harmonica”, is the same, or similar to, the sound of the “Armonica”, an angelic sounding instrument, made of glass, which was invented by Benjamin Franklin. (Franklin and some others played this instrument to no detriment to themselves….but other people developed headaches and worse, from playing it, and it is largely unseen in most modern orchestras.)
The song bank, (demos), however, has 10 all-too-familiar songs. I wish that some non-familiar ones were there, as well!
I wouldn’t expect to see the SA75 in any professional, (or even amateur) preformance. There are too few keys for real musical harmonies, and most instrumental sounds must be played separately. (Combining is only possible with pre-programmed split-sounds, (such as No. 98 – “piano/flute”, or No. 99, “strings/oboe”)….but these allow each instrument sound on exactly half the keyboard! I suppose to get an “orchestra effect”, wherein many instruments are played together, would take a highly professional, (and highly expensive), instrument.
“Toy” piano keyboards are truly misnamed. They can be used, at least by composers, to very good effect. “Toy” piano keyboards, like the more advanced Casio SA-75 being reviewed here, are great for introducing children to music, to the sounds of different instruments, and to different rhythm patterns. But, if the 8-16 instruments given on
most “toy” piano keyboards, and the “recording” capability of up to 30 or so notes, is not enough to get the music composer, (of any age) “in the mood” to create a certain type of music,
and you want the 100 sounds, (plus 30 rhythms, or “patterns”) — plus the unlimited note recording capability, (through the “phones/output” jack on the back of this instrument, given here, and you don’t mind the extra weight or size, (most “toy” pianos are MUCH lighter, and are only 17 — or less — inches long, whilst the SA-75
is 27.5 inches long, and about an inch and a half wider than most “toy” pianos), then I’d go for the “SA-75″. I see it as a music composer’s instrument only, and not one solely for performers. Yet, I’m not putting it down completely. I’m a music composer, (amateur right now…but who knows?)…and I like this instrument just fine!
P.S. FURTHER THOUGHTS……….The instrument sounds are mostly very authentic — but some don’t sound like what they should at all. The “00″ number, (”piano”), sounds exactly like a real spinet piano, and I was interested to compare it’s sound to that of the the “Honky Tonk” piano, (02) — which sounded just about EXACTLY like our old upright piano at home, (and boy, does that bring back memories!), but “harp”, (tone 47), though pleasant, sound more like the traditional “beautiful water-drip” sound, than any harp I have ever heard, at least. And, although an echo effect is usually pleasant, here it is annoying, at least to me. Maybe I haven’t heard enough harp music…but the “harp” here did not sound like any harp I have ever heard. There are many other satisfying, (and dissatisfying) tones amongst the 100 given here.
This is a very light instrumemnt, as far as piano keyboards go. It is totally portable, and can be used with batteries, (5 AA), as well as with an adaptor. (The batteries, by the way, are housed within a neat, “slide in and out” cover. Far too many “toy” piano keyboards of my acquaintance have the batteries housed within a cover that must be screwed and unscrewed. Maybe this is a safety device, as “toy” piano keyboards are
mostly used by children. But the screws are often initially screwed in BY MACHINE, and it takes an overwhelming amount of energy, (which many people don’t have), just to unscrew the battery case, and get started on these “toy” pianos. Not every “toy” piano keyboard has this problem, of course. And, thankfully, the Casio SA75 — a beginning, pro piano keyboard, for the budding music composer, does not have it either.
