Casio CTK-1500AD Full Size Keyboard with Dance Mode and AC adapter - Black/white

This is a great keyboard for beginners basically due to the amount, and size of the keys. I think learning on a keyboard with less or smaller keys would be a lot more of a challenge. However, because of this, please be aware that it is quite a beast! However, it is very light so actually not a problem to cart between rooms. It can also run on batteries although I haven't tried that as yet. Headphone socket is useful to spare any family members from your tinkling!There are a good variety of instruments and drum beats. I would say that the instruments aren't the best but for the price of the keyboard are pretty good. Also, the keys aren't pressure sensitive so are either on or off. Again though, for this price, that's to be expected really. My final gripe would be the lack of a USB port.Little gripes aside though, this is great value for money. If you don't get on with playing, you haven't lost too much and if you do, you can always upgrade to something better or go midi. I would probably suggest going with a stand though to make playing a lot easier.

Fits my basic needs for practising. This wouldn't be great if you ever needed to perform on it though. Also, there's no socket for a pedal! I though all keyboards came with that as standard. My mistake...

Makes a good sound for a fairly inexpensive bit of kit. Nice resistance in the keys for a real piano feel and easy to set up with the right stand. Good range of voices but a bit complicated to work with the instructions at first; great fun and versatile once you understand how everything works.

Good quality keyboard, full size keys, sound quality via in built speakers is good but not exceptional.

Happy with this purchase. it is a good beginner piano. I would have preferred a better music stand instead of the simple wireframe which will only hold sheets that are bigger and firm. You can't place sheets that don't have some form of cardboard backing. Can't place a phone or touchpad against the music stand either.Other than that it's a basic and good item. the different sound effects are not much to talk of but that was not an important feature for me as this is for my kids to learn the piano and not hammer away sound effects.

A little basic but good for a new beginner. Difficult to play with different pressures on the keys though… either key is ‘on’ or ‘off’ but can’t play gently or louder

Like the description. We are very happy with the item.

Personally, nothing to dislike. I knew what I was looking for and I felt this product would provide everything I required from it. This has proven to be true, as I am using it in various ways and every time I need a certain sound, effect or combination - even something I don't know until I hear it (!!), it gives me what I want.An extremely economical option for this type of instrument and deceptively capable. I am very happy with it.
