Casio CDP-S160 88-Key Weighted Digital Piano with Scaled Hammer Action Keyboard Duet Mode for Students Realistic Feel Slim

The Casio CDP – S160 is a wonderful beginner piano that has weighted keys that have a smooth wood grain finish and is a pleasure to learn how to play piano. It Is comparable to the popular Yamaha 45, 71 145 and Roland 10 keyboards but is slightly better because it is more portable, it can be powered with batteries or power supply, the keys have a nicer key feel, and it sounds a bit better. You would have to jump to a higher price category to find a better keyboard. Read more

Weighted keys feel great. The options/functions are easy to access and use. I'm just a beginner but this seems like a great entry level piano. Read more

This was a present for my grandchild and the family. The child uses this almost daily, along with an app, to learn and play around with sound combinations. This is durable, sounds good, and doesn't take up space that the family didn't have for a piano. Read more

So I've been a songwriter and musician for a very long time, used virtually every brand of electronic keyboard, I have a personal affinity towards electric pianos - just a piano guy. That said this keyboard is pretty good but not great for the following reasons: Good (for me): because it's relatively light at around 25lbs compared to most 88key behemoths that go 50 n+ pounds. One reason for the weight difference is because they attempt to simulate a true weighted piano action, (why the others are so much more expensive and heavy) - but the feel of these keys is an adequate tradeoff. The not so good: an annoying BEEP when ever you make and instrument or setting change. Totally uncool for performing live. No way to shut this off outside of turning your volume dial down each time. While it simplicity is a plus for most in this category - virtually everything is locked in - it would be great for example (this goes for other Casio's as well) to be able to easily adjust the second voicing when piggybacking instruments.
