I read a lot of reviews before selecting this Casio. I wanted something to learn piano on, and I didn't want to pay for hundreds of additional sounds I'll never use. The first unit was defective on delivery but amazon return process worked well as usual. The second unit is working fine. I am a beginner but to me it feels comfortable to play. I have it connected to my laptop through USB and I'm going through the Piano Marvel course. So far it is working quite well.

I was happy with everything about this keyboard, from the prompt delivery the day after I ordered it [I really needed it for a project] to the natural piano sound and the touch of the keys. I am not primarily a keyboard player but find it very helpful to have one on hand when I am working on musical notation, finding the right key for a song, or trying to work out chord charts for my fiddle tunes. For a basic keyboard, can't be the price or the quality.

I wanted a basic piano to learn on. Didn't want any bells and whistles. This keyboard has nice sound quality ...particularly the piano and organ. Nice touch resistance. No annoying LED screens. Just a clean, basic keyboard with great build quality.

I own a top flight acoustic piano and professional digital keyboards. I searched everywhere for a portable, super light-weight keyboard that I could carry on when flying/traveling to use for practicing and composition. The Casio CT-S1 fits the bill well, with a few very minor nits.This keyboard weighs in at less than 10 lbs. yet is very well built and 'feels' sturdy and solid. It's physically impossible to have weighted or semi-weighted keys on a 10 pound instrument, but the key bed is otherwise very good. The keys are nearly full-size, have a matte finish and a good touch sensitive response.The body of the keyboard is well constructed and does not feel fragile. The 'retro', minimalist look of the instrument with the cloth covered panel across the top is easy on the eyes. There is a built-in handle which allows carrying around your house or hotel with ease. It comes with a external power supply, but also runs on batteries. I sprung for a set of AA rechargeable batteries, worth the investment. Nit #1: You'll need to purchase a sustain pedal - not included.There is a very good and wide range of sounds, most important of which are decent acoustic piano, electric piano and organ voices. A nice feature is a set of physical buttons and a volume knob across the front panel. There are dozens of additional sound and tone controls accessible via the function button and the piano keys. Nit #2: I would like to have dedicated buttons for the most used functions: transpose, octave shift and reverb.The built-in speakers are very serviceable. There are 1/8" inch stereo IN and stereo OUT connectors, so I carry a couple of 1/8" stereo patch cables for connecting my Klipsch Groove bluetooth speaker (sounds great), tablets, phone, etc. The USB MIDI interface is ideal for for writing or transcribing music.Nit #3: The Casio case for this instrument, when available, has an awkward design (load from the end ??), and has questionable padding for travel. Casio would do well to make available a decent, well fitting, padded case - even at half the cost of the keyboard, it would be worth it. I scoured the retail world for days to found a good quality, padded, but otherwise snug fitting case for airline carry on, but a case designed for this unit would be better.This instrument is an excellent value.

This instrument sounds good. Not great for my intended use as the volume is not as loud as how I use it, which is as an instrument for Bible Study. It looks cool in red color. The controls are very basic and you need to read the manual just so you will know how to enable the limited features. My only gripe is that it is very choosy with sustain pedals; not all of them work and you need one either Casio brand or one with a switchable polarity/polarity switch. I had to return mine because I was not really happy with how it sounds in a big room, but for someone who only plays privately and in a small room, can't go wrong with purchasing this one. The keybed feels like a toy and the action is not so great. It could be priced lower in my opinion.

Suena muy bien y las teclas son semi pesadas, por el precio está más que bien, se puede usar como midi también usando algún DAW

Got this for my mom when her old keyboard (from the 90s died). I was primarily looking for portable, nice sounding, and inexpensive. Very happy with it.Didn't want all the rhythms/accompaniment or lots of buttons. (Our little kids just button mash instead of playing the keys).But it also has some cool details. Like you can save a setup (layering/octave shift/etc.). Just check the online (PDF) manual. And it even has guitar strap buttons so you could wear it like a keytar. ;D Haven't tried that yet

I'm not an expert on keyboards, but I think this one delivers amazing value for the money. Not a lot of bells and whistles, but the sound quality (at least the standard piano) is impressive, so it's almost a no-brainer if you're looking for a minimalistic keyboard.Now the fun feature that I think got a lot of people go "shut up and take my money": its "Keyboard" mode + "Vintage" tone variation nails the classic Mellotron sound. I'm pretty sure one of the first things people play when they open this up is the intro to The Beatles' "Strawberry Fields Forever" or The Zombies' "Changes"UPDATE: be warned that the battery life is not great. It used up a brand new set of Energize Max after less than 2 hours of playing.

Es un buen piano para principiantes (Como yo), asi como los que tienen algo de experiencia, tiene telcas sensibles, la calidad de sonido Aix es muy buena, tan buena que supera a otros pianos que cuestan mas.Es muy buen piano para que valga 5,000 pesos mx, si lo comparas con los otros sabrás que vale la pena comprar este por su calidad-precio.Les recomiendo muchisimo el pedal para piano para que puedas aprender tambien de éste. Sin embargo, el piano ya tiene la función de teclas sostenidas, presionas "function" y luego la tecla C6 para activarla.
