If you’ve been thinking buying a piano but don’t want to shell out the big bucks required, then a digital piano might be just right for you. At $289.99 (reg. $389.99) it delivers high‑tone quality, and powerful functions with built‑in tones and a song bank. You get the piano, an AC adapter, Piano stand and sustain pedal.

The Casio Digital Piano features:

• 88 full-size scaled hammer action keys with touch response
• 32-note polyphonic maximum
• 5 tones
• Effects: Reverb (4 types) and Chorus (4 types)
• Songs: 5
• General MIDI level 1 compatible
• 2 speakers: 16 W total output
• Headphone jack

A great feature is the scaled hammer action keys. If you’ve ever played a digital piano and a real piano, there is a difference in how the keys feel when you play them.

A spring-less hammer system that is similar to the one used by grand pianos provides a keyboard touch that is naturally firm. Lower notes play relatively heavier than higher notes, just like the keys on a grand piano.

You need to have a Costco membership in order to shop from Costco online. If you don’t have one, maybe you can ask a friend with a membership to order one from you.

This would be a great little keyboard for kids to learn to play piano. I like that it doesn’t require a huge financial commitment, like a real piano would and the compactness (52″ x 18.8″ x 28.8″) means that you don’t need to have a lot of space available.
