Thanks for joining us on the Merriam Pianos YouTube channel! Today we’re going to be checking out the Casiotone CT-S200 and CT-S300 keyboards.

As we enter the holiday season, there’s no question that many people are going to have keyboards on their shopping list so the timing couldn't be better for this rundown.

Overview
The CT-S200 and CT-S300 are two incredibly lightweight, 61-note beginner keyboards. They’re both very affordable and actually outfitted with a number of more advanced features.

In fact, there are many scenarios where an advanced pianist, songwriter or producer could make great use of either of these two keyboards. Let’s get into it.

Piano Features
Both pianos are fully MIDI capable, so you can connect them to a computer via the micro USB port, specify the MIDI channels, turn local control on and off, etc. To have this type of ability at this low price point is quite unusual.

Both pianos have audio inputs and outputs, a sustain pedal option, and both of them work with either a power adaptor or battery power.

Similarities between the CT-S200 and CT-S300
In terms of the number of sounds and overall functionality, these two pianos are virtually identical.

There are four different playing modes on both pianos. The first mode is your standard playing mode where you can navigate the large selection of 400 sounds. The second mode allows you to play with a rhythm section and band with 77 different accompaniment tracks.

The third mode is Song mode which essentially features a number of pre-loaded songs that you can listen to or play along with, and you’re actually able to turn the left-hand and right-hand parts off.

Finally, we have Dance Music mode, which while similar to Mode 2, it’s very much focused on electronic dance music.

Differences Between the CT-S200 and CT-S300
The big difference when jumping from the S200 to the S300 is that the S300 has velocity sensitivity. If touch sensitivity is something you’re looking for, especially the small price difference between the two models, jumping up to the S300 is a no-brainer.

The S300 also has a handy modulation wheel, which means that there are some professional situations where you could get away with using the S300.

Closing Thoughts
It’s important to keep in mind that the sound quality on either piano isn’t great, the speakers aren’t super powerful, and the depth of the samples is fairly basic.


But again, these pianos are not too pricy, light, full of sounds and just super fun with the different playing modes.

This would be a great piano to foster some interest in a young child or to take with you on a vacation. Given the small price hike, we think for most people that the S200 will be worth the extra money.

Thanks for watching!
