Toy keyboard

[jazzrascal]

I'm looking to buy a toy keyboard for myself. My Casio SA-5 has finally bit the dust. What I need to know if if there is a toy keyboard that will play chords of more than two notes--four would be great, of course, but three is OK. Anyone?

Take a look at the Casio SA76. It plays full chords and it's great for ear training.

Thanks, happyrat...this one looks great, and I see it's also available here in Brazil!

I own one myself. I find it great for ear training in front of the TV and just anywhere in the house,.

Can you tell me what its measurements are...length in particular?

Here's the complete specs for it. It's just under 2 feet long by about 9 inches wide. And it's 8 note polyphony so you can actually play some pretty complex chords with it.

Weight is about 4 lbs with batteries installed.

Hmmm...that's a little bigger and heavier than I'd like, although if I can't find anything smaller I'll probably get it. Mine had 32 keys and was 15" long.

I find mine sits nicely beside me across the couch cushion while I watch TV.

It's great for ear training and picking out tunes when I hear something on the tube.

I'd like something that would fit in my backpack.

Well there's always the Korg Monotrons. Lot's more expensive though.

Heheh...I think I'm looking for something more "toy-like."

 

[happyrat1]

Well actually the Monotrons are priced like toys.

$50 ain't a bad price.

I just found the Casio SA-46 -- looks perfect. Anyway, thanks for your help!

Happy to hear you found what you needed.

Happy to have been of help.
