5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent buy, November 5, 2006

We purchased this item for my wife who is an acoomplished pianist. She has a grand piano and has played and taught piano (private and college level).
Reason for purchase, to have a portable item that could be used by us in churches or situations where a decent paino was not available. This unit is very portable. A little bulkier then the smaller keyboards but you do have the benefit of a standard piano keyboard.
She is happy with the tone quality and action of the keys. The Casio will definately handle most of the music that she would play.
She realizes that this does not compare to her grand piano but she admits that it is an excellent item for the money.
The only drawback is that it does not have a dedicated line to hook into an amplifier. An adapter has to be used on the headphones jack.
Definately a good buy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best bang for the buck, July 2, 2008

I bought this for my twin nieces for them to start piano lessons on. I figure it will be fine for them for 3 or 4 years. If they truly want to continue playing, it will be time to switch to a real acoustic grand. Until then it is perfectly suitable for a beginner or someone who is not trying to play any difficult/advanced classical pieces. Wonderful for those who don't want to annoy the neighbors. Action is good, sounds are too. My only criticism is the pedal. There's only one and it is more of a foot switch than a pedal. No biggie since you can buy a decent replacement that looks and feels like a piano pedal for about $20. Ideally a piano should have 3 pedals (Google "sostenuto" and you'll see why) But the fact is most folks only use the sustain pedal anyway so I'm really picking nits here. More expensive digital pianos have 3 pedals but they also have lots of features/sounds you don't need and are priced close to three times what this baby costs. If you REALLY need 3 pedals, you probably should be playing acoustic anyway.

Bottom Line? The best bang for the buck out there. Replace the cheapie pedal and buy a cover for it and you'll have something that compares favorably with digital pianos that cost two to three times as much.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Keyboard, January 13, 2007

We were moving overseas, and we were looking for a fullsize keyboard that could be put in checked baggage, and cost less than 500 dollars. The CDP100 fit the bill.

I'm a casual piano player, and it works great for me. the sound is nice, and it isn't heavy at all.

Cons are that aside from a midi port, there isn't a usb port or anything to be able to save and store music that you play.

So if you just want to play a full size piano, and have it be light, not take up space, and be portable, this is a good one. If you are interested in music authoring, etc...there are probably better keybaords for you.
