Customer Reviews
Wonderful sound, good for kids
We recently started suspecting that our 2 year old has perfect
pitch, like her father and her grandmother before her. So all the
little toy keyboards that she loved to play with which were all off-key
were become problematic. However, it was almost impossible to find a
toy keyboard that was actually in tune and not off key. We bought and
returned probably a half dozen. Then, the grandparents stepped in and
started laying pressure to buy her an actual keyboard. This was the
result.
The keyboard has a wonderful sound and plenty of demo songs to keep
young children busy. I love that it lights up and it helps illustrate
the concept for children who are just learning about music and notes.
The keyboard is lighter than I expected. And for the price, it was a
good compromise over the toy keyboards. It's also great that it comes
with a stand, headphones, and an adapter. Many of the high-end casio
keybaords, for some reason, do not even include an adapter.
I do warn, however, that this is a beginner keyboard. It's good for
exposing your child and just to test drive to see whether or not your
kid's piano interest isn't going to be just a passing phase. However,
the keyboard is not going to grow with any serious piano players. There
is no touch sensitivity, which is so important to learning to play the
piano adequately. And I was disappointed to see that there was no USB
connectivity, which you can get with the slightly more expensive Casio
models.
But, all in all, I'm satisfied that I'm getting my money's worth.
But if you want more features and more piano-like sound/feel, then
you'll have to pay more.
Look No Further. Costs Less, Delivers More
I was in a Electronic store and noticed our 7 year old was missing.
I saw a girl hunched on this keyboard playing the keyboard. The girl
was playing very well and music sounded great.
That was our child!
Purchased from Amazon for their package deal pricing and
accesories. Free shipping. The electronic store was slightly cheaper
but did not include even the AC adapter and that's basically a hassle
and extra cost. And kids do need the other accessories included with
this product on Amazon.
So Amazon was the lowest cost option at end of the day.
MOST IMPORTANT: Due to the Advertised Features, ease of play, and
sound quality of this product - our daughter loves to go play on this
keyboard for at least an hour every day! That's what you wish for when
you go looking for your first keyboard for children.
great keyboard fro the price
This is a great package for the price. This is an easy keyboard to
learn to play for both children and adults alike. The Casio Key
Lighting Keyboard LK-100 is as fun as it is practical. It's an ideal
learning tool for young pianists and a fun way to experience music.
The keyboard has 61 full-size keys. We love the keys' optional
light-up function, and we enjoyed being able to immediately "play" the
keyboard. The lighted keys help beginners become familiar with the
timing of the notes that follow one of the 100 built-in tunes from the
keyboard's song bank. A songbook (included) allows kids and adults to
view the printed musical notes for each song. The tempo of the songs
can be slowed as you learn to follow the keys, which is a nice feature.
The key lighting feature can be turned off as desired. This is
particularly important for advanced players who wish to use the
instrument as a traditional keyboard.
We like the Casio Key Lighting Keyboard's high-tech look. A large
LCD screen indicates function and song title. There is a tempo control,
a volume slider, rhythm buttons and other controls. The Casio Key
Lighting Keyboard's song bank is a fun feature. The keyboard has 100
popular songs stored and they can be heard at the push of a button.
Songs include holiday favorites like Jingle Bells, as well as a peppy
rendition of Happy Birthday to You and a variety of classical songs.
Younger kids will be thrilled to hear a theme song from the Finding
Nemo movie.
This feature-rich keyboard includes 50 built-in auto-accompaniment
patterns (kids will feel like rock stars!). Additionally, users can
choose a chord and the keyboard will automatically produce a matching
bass, chord and rhythm. Advanced players will find it easy to change
keys, and a microphone jack makes it a breeze to sing along with tunes.
The premium package with the Casio LK100 is a great buy for the money.
The Casio Key Lighting Keyboard has plenty of bells and whistles to
immediately attract children and adults. It's fun. It lights up. It
plays music. The best part, however, is that the attraction doesn't end
there. This is a well-built musical instrument on which children and
adults can really learn to play music.
Only negative thing is that it does have MIDI but in order to use
this feature, you will need to couple it with a PC to use, since it
doesn't have a built-in disk drive.
