Good for a beginner

Good for a beginner
I bought the Casio SA-46 -Key Portable Keyboard for myself for my birthday after seeing Tyler Joseph from Twenty One Pilots use it in one of their videos. I always wanted to learn to play but didn't want to commit to a full size keyboard until I knew the basics. I bought it along with the Casio ADE95100LU Power Supply and they work perfectly together. It's a little bigger than my laptop length wise(as you'll see in the picture), but it fits nicely on my desk so I can play it whenever I feel like.Pros: Keyboard is just right for beginner, especially if you're buying this for a child. It's user friendly and you can easily mess around with the tones and tempo. The volume is VERY good. It's very light weight. You are able to switch from batteries(4AA) or use a power cord. Something that I like very much, is that it shuts off after about 5 minutes of inactivity, so if I get distracted by something, I don't have to worry about it wasting power, however you shouldn't let that be an excuse to not turn the switch off.Cons: I feel like after learning a few songs, I'm starting to realize 32 keys is just a bit too restrictive. I would highly recommend you go up to the 44 keys if you have the option to, but there are still many songs you can play. I haven't dropped it yet, but it does feel like its not sturdy enough to handle a bad fall. The keys are very sensitive, almost TOO sensitive. Other than that not many cons I can find about this keyboard.So I very much do like this product, especially for young beginners, but if you feel like you or whoever you're buying this for will stick to practicing and making serious use out of it I would recommend at least the 44 keys.(Side note about the picture, I put a dot of nail polish on one of the keys so I could find the middle of the keyboard faster without looking so disregard that dot in the picture)

    The media could not be loaded.
    I've been recording and writing music since 1984, Currently, I mainly write commercial licensed music under BMI, Inc. I play many instruments, but my main instrument is synthesizer, and also the instrument that I have played the longest.

    I actually played the very first CASIO keyboards when they came out in the early to mid 1980 from the very small Casio VL-1 to the Casio MT-100 . I wanted a Casio keyboard that was very basic like the old Casio MT-100 that I had way back when. So I found this Casio SA-46, and bought it.
    I have posted a sound clip video in my post here in regards to what the keyboard sounds like, and it should show the awesome capability of this instrument. If your a parent and your Son or Daughter wants to play a synthesizer, buy this first before investing in a large keyboard.

    If You or some one you know, is looking for a keyboard to add some "color" to their songs, in regards to layering.. this keyboard is awesome. I think it is FM synthesis with some PCM recorded sounds also mixed in.

    If you have this keyboard, or are getting it, check out these tone (sound) presets (this is what I call them, and they are very close)
    Tone preset 12: Hammond b3 Organ (Sounds like "Love Song" - by "The Cure")
    Tone preset: 00 Piano
    Tone preset 14: Fast Leslie sounding organ
    Tone preset 08: vibraphone
    Tone preset: 09 xylophone ( You can play the Peppa Pig theme song... brilliant)
    Tone preset: 29 thru 32 Bass
    Tone preset: 41 synths
    Tone preset:42 synth slow attack
    Tone preset: 45 orchestra hit (sounds like a few 1990's songs)
    Tone preset: 46 trumpet (This is one of the original Casio tone presents - "I'm not the one" by The Cars uses this one)
    Tone preset:50: french horn
    Tone preset::51 Hard Brass - (Play the theme song from "Rocky")

    I hope that was useful to some of you out there, that are thinking about buying this. Also to note, this is the only keyboard in the low price range that as a "head phone jack" that is 1/8 size, not 1/4// but regardless.. you can buy a 1/8 male to 1/8 male cable here on Amazon to record this into your mic jack on your computer, or you can buy a 1/8 male to 1/4 male cable to hook this up to an amplifier. - Tom

    As a studio musician, I have owned and tried more than a few electronic keyboards. Some are beautiful works of art, some have excellent sound, and most boggle the mind with functions and features 99% of people will never use.

    The Casio SA-46 combines a few features and functions into an attractive and insanely-bargain-priced package. You really get a lot for under $40 US:

    1. Battery-powered, go anywhere keyboard. Works for weeks on 6 AA batteries (not included).
    2. Nice, functional drum pads.
    3. 100 Tones. Are all of them accurate? NO. Are all of them useful? NO. But all the important ones are there, and enough optional tones are included to make it a useful and fun assortment.
    4. 50 Patterns. All the ones you can really use every day are included. By varying tempo, you can easily make some patterns more useful.
    5. Song Bank. It is what it is. You will probably not use it too often.

    This is a musical box built for fun and it accomplishes the goal easily. Anyone from age 5 to 100 will find hours of fun here for a very little price.

    If you are a more serious musician, and have goals of producing music, it can easily be done with the Casio SA-46 and a free audio program like Audacity. Build a song from multiple, separately-recorded tracks you perform and record using the audio output jack on your keyboard and the microphone input jack on your PC.

    If you get really motivated or want to use the SA-46 for live performance, I recommend the addition of a Looper Box and battery-operated speaker. You can easily use the stomp box button to record a a basic track and overdub a new track on top of the first one, etc. You can then perform the melody on the keyboard or even sing while your tracks loop and play on your speaker. A basic battery-powered Looper box with unlimited overdubs and 10-15 minutes of loop available is about $45 here on Amazon.

    Hope this review helps you to understand how fun this SA-46 really can be if you take a little time to practice with it.

    Bought this for my two year old grandchild, or at least that was my excuse. This keyboard is a very good value for the money. It plays enough tunes to get children interested in playing along. It's light weight and small enough for a child to confidently handle. I added a few colored dots on the most-used buttons so that my baby girl can more easily find the off-on, auto-play, and volume controls. She can turn the machine on and get it to play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to which she performs a stunning ballet performance (just kidding, it's only a so-so performance). I also added colored dots to the C keys to help her understand how the do-ray-me sequence repeats along the scale. She's only just beginning, but I am certain this keyboard is helping her appreciate and learn the basics of music. I don't expect an early failure of the keyboard because it's very well made, but even if it only lasts a year or two I will have gotten my money's worth out of it. Every home should have something like this for "kids of all ages" to enjoy.

    Adquirí este teclado para mi hijo de 6 años y me parece una magnífica compra.

    Es pequeño, pero de un tamaño justo para un niño, es muy ligero.

    Lo único malo es que no tiene cable para conectarlo a la corriente eléctrica, pero encontré uno muy bueno y a buen precio.

    Sin duda lo recomiendo para niños principiantes.

    En la escuela le habían solicitado un teclado a mi hija, le regalaron un genérico que no le duro ni un mes, yo para el reemplazo decidí buscarle uno de marca reconocida, así que me decidí por este teclado y estoy muy satisfecho, las pilas le duran muchísimo tiempo, basta con decir que le puse unas recargables desde que lo compre hasta hoy no he tenido que cambiárselas, el teclado al ser para niños tiene un diseño muy resistente, seguido se cae y no se ha dañado ni roto, tiene buen volumen, me preocupaba que fuera muy frágil o que tuviera que estarle cambiando las pilas a diario, pero no hubo nada de que preocuparse, un excelente teclado, altamente recomendado.

    Es un teclado ideal para algo práctico y excelente para regalo de pequeñas y pequeños. Muy recomendable. El único detalle es que requieres comprar el adaptador para corriente por separado o si no invertir en 6 baterías AA, por lo demás excelente producto.
