LK-270 Premium Pack

The Premium Pack bundles the LK-270 keyboard with a Yamaha power supply, keyboard stand and professional closed-cup stereo headphones.

Touch-Sensitive Lighted Keyboard
The LK-270 features 61 standard-size keys and two sensitivity levels for a more piano-like experience, along with 48-note polyphony (24-note for certain tones).

The "LK" in LK-270 stands for "Lighted Keyboard." Designed to provide a fun way to learn how to play music, the keys illuminate to show you what notes to play in lessons or built-in songs.

570 Built-In Tones
Find just the right sound with 570 built-in tones, from strings to woodwinds and plenty more. You can layer two different tones (such as piano and strings) or split the keyboard down the middle for an ensemble approach.

Reverb and Chorus Effects
Select from ten different reverb and five different chorus effects to add depth and shimmer to your performance.

Microphone and Karaoke Function
Have some fun with the included microphone and the LK-270's Karaoke feature. The karaoke feature can be used with 52 of the built-in songs, and lowers the volume of the melody part so you can sing along, just like a karaoke machine.

SD Memory Card Support
The LK-270 supports SD Memory Cards up to 2 GB, so you can store sampled sounds, user rhythms, recorded songs, and more, without running out of memory.

USB Port
For many musicians, the computer has become a music-making center. Connect the LK-270 to a computer using a USB cable and exchange MIDI data between the two devices. Send play data from the keyboard to music software running on your computer, or send MIDI data from your computer to the keyboard for playback.

Intuitive editing and controls.

Internal speakers and battery-powering option for full portability.

Learn quickly with Casio's famous lighted-key "Step Up" lesson system.

Built-In Sampling
You can use the LK-270 to sample a sound from a portable audio player or other device, and then play the sound with keyboard keys. Sample up to ten seconds, and store up to five sampled sounds to keyboard memory.

You can also loop sampled sounds so they continue to play, or replace individual sounds on drum patches.

152 Built-In Songs and Ten User Songs
The LK-270 comes with a bank of songs for your learning and enjoyment, from classics like "Greensleeves" or "Auld Lang Syne" to holiday tunes like "Jingle Bells."

You can also record your own performances, using up to six tracks of different instruments.

Step Up Lessons
To master a song, it is best to break it up into shorter parts (phrases), master the phrases, and then put everything together. The LK-270 features a "Step Up Lesson" feature that helps you to do just that. The built-in songs are pre-divided into phrases to help you master keyboard play. Step Up Lesson takes you through practice of the right hand part, left hand part, and both hand parts for each phrase of a song. Master all of the phrases and you master the song.

Music Challenge Keyboard Game
Music Challenge is a game that measures your reaction speed as you press keys in response to on-screen keyboard indicators and fingering guide indications.

Auto Accompaniment
With Auto Accompaniment, simply select an accompaniment pattern. Each time you play a chord with your left hand the appropriate accompaniment will play automatically. It's like having a personal backup group along with you wherever you go.

Auto Harmonize
Auto Harmonize automatically adds harmony to notes you play with your right hand, which adds rich depth to the melody of your performances. You can select from among 12 types of Auto Harmonize to suit the type of music you are playing.

Arpeggiator
The Arpeggiator makes it possible to play an arpeggio pattern automatically. There are 90 different arpeggio patterns from which to choose in order to match the music you are playing.

Transpose Function
An easy operation instantly changes the key of the keyboard.

Audio Input
Play along with MP3 or CD players or other devices by plugging them into the stereo mini input jack.

Battery or AC Power
Power the LK-270 with six D-sized batteries or purchase the AD-5 AC adapter separately to power from your electrical outlets. Built-in speakers make the keyboard entirely portable.

An Auto Power Off feature turns off the device six minutes after the last key is touched, helping you save batteries.

Casio Privia PX100 Digital Piano Review

!±8± Casio Privia PX100 Digital Piano Review

The Privia PX100 digital piano is a discontinued Casio model. It has been upgraded in the newer models of PX110 and PX120. However, if you can find a used one for a good price (and in good condition) this can be a great way to get a digital piano on the cheap.

Let's look at what is generally considered the two most important features of any digital piano: keyboard action and sound.

The Casio Privia PX100 digital piano uses scaled hammer action on its 88-key keyboard. This recreates the acoustic grand piano feel with the lower notes being slightly heavier than the higher notes. So the PX100 would be good for a beginner or hobbyist pianist that wants a cheap digital piano that emulates the feel of an acoustic. The later Privia models improved upon the keyboard action. So the PX110 and PX120 models will feel even more like an acoustic piano.

But remember, our goal with the PX100 is to get a cheap alternative that is still a good quality digital piano. So don't let that turn you off from this digital piano. You could pay thousands of dollars for an even better keyboard feel, but price is a factor in everyone's decision. And remember, keyboard action is very subjective. You can read reviews of people that say the PX100 perfectly recreates the acoustic piano feel, while others say it doesn't. The rule of thumb is try it out for yourself.

The sound quality of the PX100 is very good. It emulates the sound of a grand piano using Casio's Sound Source technology. Realistic sound is vitally important. Poor sound recreation can lead a digital piano to dust collecting status.

One big feature that doesn't need to be overlooked is that the PX100 is very light and good for portability. This lightness, coupled with the fact that it has weighted keys that emulate an acoustic piano feel, give you the best of both worlds: acoustic feel and portability. It only weighs 27 pounds. So it's easy to carry, but I'd suggest you get a bag or case to protect it during transportation.

Some other features you can expect include 10 tones, 30-song built-in library, reverb, chorus, 32-note polyphony, 20 built in rhythms, metronome, and more.

In conclusion, if you can find this discontinued model in good condition for a cheaper price than a new PX110 or PX120, then the Casio Privia PX100 digital piano could be worth the investment. Read some online reviews about it. Some people absolutely swear by this digital piano, while others say "Just go with newer technology." But when you're working on a budget the PX100 can be a good choice.
