CasioSA-78 Mini 44 Keys keyboard in black and pink

Is this really only designed for kids? Well I got it for myself - a big kid perhaps, having seen how good the reviews are and I am not disappointed.I previously had a much cheaper mini keyboard for practice and the sound quality was so dire I think I was starting to get fed up with listening to it. But this Casio is so much better. The big bonus being great sound quality which can be heard particularly if you plug in some high-end headphones or hi-fi amplifier. The internal Casio speakers don't sound too bad either.The keys are pleasant to use too - no issues there.There is an LCD which shows you which key you have pressed by displaying the note on five lines just like a music sheet. I find this paritcularly useful for learning. The viewing angle of the LCD is good so I don't have to lean over it to see it.I have looked a the battery life and that's good too. It draws around 30mA doing nothing and about 100mA when sound is present on the speakers, although this current will depend on the actual volume set. Using it on headphones the current seems to stay around 30mA regardless of whether any keys are pressed.I am using this as a beginner to learn to practice piano. I am finding it very useful to learn to find the right keys.The best bit is the size. It is such that I can take it anywhere to practice without the need to sit in front of a full size piano for hours.It's really quite hard to find fault with this keyboard for the money it cost. The only thing I can think would be nice is to have a record function. Thank you Casio for such a great product and thank you Amazon for getting it to my door so quickly as you always do.

Nice but can’t hear when playing with both hands

My kids (8 & 9yo) really love it and play it with it a lot! They even wanted to get it along for their vacations ;-). Given the size and the price of it, the quality of the sound is impressive. I bought it actually beacause we cannot afford a bigger or a much more expensive, but works pretty nicely at the moment. The small screen that shows the actual notes (even for the stored tunes) helps the kids to replay them. The only reason I am not giving a 5-start is the quality of the keys.

Bought for 8 year old grandson as a present. He has not used, but I am very impressed with sound quality for the money and all the extra accompaniments. Did purchase extra the lead, starter book and headphones. All of which I feel are essential.

our 7 years old is having blast with this piano. its has 100 different sound plus some melodies. after 1 month of usage we still havent charged batteries. it has ear phones plug so we can enjoy silence and kid can enjoy his music ;)

Bought this for my 2year old over SA46 as the price difference at the time was just six pounds.Solid construction, my little one was standing on it and tossing it here & there and still no damage done! Does not come with power adapter but I am happy using rechargeable batteries as it is safer. Pink colour matches with the rest of the toys & furniture in the play room. Keys are mini size, comfortable and all can be reached easily.Comes with 100 tones, 50 rhythms, 5drum pads including few indian instruments, rain drop, train sound.. There are 10 tunes in the song-bank, the twinkle twinkle is my daughter's favorite. All can be played using the number pads on the right side. Sound quality is as good as the higher model Ctk-1150 and much better than SA-46.Headphone jack on the rear side, 3.5mm standard socket. Another difference between this and SA46 is the availability of LCD display. The keyboard comes with a simple printed song book as well and free access to up to 10 lessons online.Overall this is a nice little keyboard not just a toy.

Lots and lots of cool sounds for kids to experiment with!

I got this for my 9/10 year to practise on. Everything is good about the keyboard except the sound is very weak. It has that tinny treble sound with no richness on the piano setting. To overcome this I choose synth sounds. It is cheap and does the job, but the sound quality lets it down. I have a vintage tiny Casio SA-8 I use to practice singing notes and working out songs. The piano sound is awesome for such a tiny retro keyboard. Sadly the SA-76Hs is not as good; flashing lights etc does not fill the gap.
