FEATURES YOU WILL LOVE

 

PORTABLE AND SMALL KEYBOARD

This Casio SA76 is perfect for little children, as it has 44 mini keys, and it’s a small keyboard. This way they won’t be befuddled by a number of keys and their ranges. This way they can focus on where to put his/her hands and they don’t have to stretch to play it.  Since it weighs less than 4 pounds so its one of the lightest of the market. As it’s so compact you can fit it in a drawer.

SLEEK LOOKS

The Casio SA76 44 mini Sized Keys 100 Tones comes in black, with a brown underside that makes it nice. There’s two small 1.2-watt speakers on the ends of the keyboard. It has a respectable number of buttons crammed into the keyboard (considering how small it is), but with the 100 tones, 50 rhythms and 10 built in songs they are necessary. Furthermore it even comes with a small LC display, not a super one, but useful nevertheless.

 

LOTS OF FEATURES

Hence even though its small, it comes with a lot to offer for a beginner piano player. It has 100 tones on it (more than most digital pianos). The grand piano sound is probably the best one, probably because Casio has vast experience building these types of musical machines. The sounds are not supported by any of their reputable technologies, which is understandable for this type of piano.

 

The tones are backed up by an 8-note polyphony, which is quite low for a digital piano. Consequently since the piano only has 44 keys to deal with, probably this is not an issue.

 

It has up to 50 rhythms, and any of them will help the little player grow and enjoy their creativity playing. They will help him/her develop a sense of rhythm whilst playing music. Plus it has salsas, waltzes, ballads and other to choose from. Don’t forget the 5 drum pads too.

 

Comes with 10 practice tunes, to help them learn to hear how the piano is supposed to be played and play along with too. This will help them have a variety of styles to understand how music is played.

 

Last, but not least, it comes with a Melody Cut Rehearsal system, which is a preloaded training system to help play with the right hand, as most of the time beginners start playing with the right and then the left hand.

STUFF YOU WON’T FIND ON SA-76

 

As this is a small piano and its purpose is for a very beginner level, there are functions you won’t find on this piano: no transpose, tempo or tuning functions. No split functions either.

 

It neither has a USB connection or computer connectivity.
