Casio CDP 100 Digital Piano




This review is from: Casio CDP 100 Digital PianoWe purchased this item for my wife who is an acoomplished pianist. She has a grand piano and has played and taught piano (private and college level). Reason for purchase, to have a portable item that could be used by us in churches or situations where a decent paino was not available. This unit is very portable. A little bulkier then the smaller keyboards but you do have the benefit of a standard piano keyboard.She is happy with the tone quality and action of the keys. The Casio will definately handle most of the music that she would play.She realizes that this does not compare to her grand piano but she admits that it is an excellent item for the money.The only drawback is that it does not have a dedicated line to hook into an amplifier. An adapter has to be used on the headphones jack.Definately a good buy....

This review is from: Casio CDP 100 Digital PianoI bought this for my twin nieces for them to start piano lessons on. I figure it will be fine for them for 3 or 4 years. If they truly want to continue playing, it will be time to switch to a real acoustic grand. Until then it is perfectly suitable for a beginner or someone who is not trying to play any difficult/advanced classical pieces. Wonderful for those who don't want to annoy the neighbors. Action is good, sounds are too. My only criticism is the pedal. There's only one and it is more of a foot switch than a pedal. No biggie since you can buy a decent replacement that looks and feels like a piano pedal for about $20. Ideally a piano should have 3 pedals (Google "sostenuto" and you'll see why) But the fact is most folks only use the sustain pedal anyway so I'm really picking nits here. More expensive digital pianos have 3 pedals but they also have lots of features/sounds you don't need and are priced close to three times what this baby costs. If you REALLY need 3 pedals, you probably should be playing acoustic anyway.Bottom Line? The best bang for the buck out there. Replace the cheapie pedal and buy a cover for it and you'll have something that compares favorably with digital pianos that cost two to three times as much....

This review is from: Casio CDP 100 Digital PianoPro's:I was astonished by the clavier. To me personally I preferred this key-feel above the standard Yamaha feel.The piano sounds where ok; above what I had expected of Casio.Didn't have many sounds.The internal speakers did the job, and the wooden stand that came with it, made it look like a more expensive piano.The wheight is only 11kg's, with an additional few kg's for the stand. Together it doesn't wheigh more then 15Kg's.I happened to believe it has Midi in/out, but I'm not sure of that.Cons: It has no line out. Internal speakers, or headphones are needed.One mini-jack headphones out.I don't own the item, only briefly played it. Reason to buy it:If you're looking for a decent budget home piano for the livingroom, without disturbing the neighbors while playing; and still have a good quality feel on it; then this is a buyer!...
