Casio CT-S1-76 BK Digital Piano (Black)

General

A few years ago, Casio introduced the Casio CT-S1: an affordable introductory instrument that sort of mashed up the best bits of a digital piano with the best bits of a keyboard, so you got the easy-to-play feel of lighter keys, the tighter look and focus of a digital piano, but without any of the rhythms and accompaniments and distracting controls you would get with a standard keyboard. The model was immediately popular, but only one thing was lacking - more keys. Enter the Casio CT-S1-76: the same model, but with the extra note-range and playing space of seventy-six keys.

The Casio CT-S1-76: Plenty of Sound

One of the features that separates a keyboard from a digital piano is the number of sounds. With your average keyboard, you usually get hundreds of them, but this Casio model has narrowed things down to a library of sixty-one - some divided over seven main categories, each with four variations, and the remaining thirty-three are accessed via a set of function buttons. So that each sound can be played with full expression, a bank of effects has been included and the keys are also velocity sensitive.

There's More!

The sixty-four voice polyphony provides more than enough space to play most pieces and more digital-piano-style functions like temperament and transpose options lend further support. Two sounds can also be layered and, using the CASIO MUSIC SPACE partner app even more can be pulled out of this instrument, completing a comprehensive playing partner no matter your skill level.
