Casio Mini Keyboard 32 keys SA-46

It had a short circuit in the battery compartment that took a multimeter to find then rectify. Very poor quality control.

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.

Muito bom, faz jus ao propagado. Recomendo.

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.

Love it. Just beware that the adapter is not included in the box and u need to buy one unless you want to use batteries. The other thing that would have been cool is to be able to put the pre-programmed rhythms/music and play along at the same time. Unfortunately, you can just either listen or play. Same applied to the ground tempo (drum etc) you cannot have it play in the background, but have to do it manually as you go. Also you cannot record. But overall, a good pia o for a little kid who is just starting to learn as they go.
