Introduction

The Casio CT-S1 is a little lightweight keyboard that is perfect for beginners, however the sound quality is so good that it also makes an ideal portable instrument for more experienced players. It really does have a great sound for such a small keyboard and is comparable to some of the more semi-professional instruments on the market.

Despite its size, this cracking little keyboard comes with an array of options and built-in ‘extras’.

In terms of power supply, it comes with a mains adapter and can also be battery operated, making it a fully-portable instrument.

In addition, you can also purchase a sustainer pedal to give you the full piano playing experience. Options here include either the small, square plastic pedal which is a little like an errant toy left on the floor and is very easy to kick around. Perhaps a better option would be a more robust metal pedal, as it is the same type you’d get on an acoustic piano, which provides a more complete playing experience.
