Dude. The playing. The vibe. The humour.
These vids are all winners! 🇨🇦
I hope Casio will update the Casiotone CT-S1 to a full size keyboard, it would be perfect.
I have 4 keyboards, but now I gotta have this one too! Lol. Update: I just Bought this keyboard and I am blown away by the different sounds! The sounds are so realistic, worth every penny.
How was the sound through its own speakers tho? And how loud was it?
I'm planning to buy one of this for my brother's bday as a gift ✨
@@jamesivanmarionrosete3039 good...it's demonstrated in this video - th-cam.com/video/adxphnI6AP4/w-d-xo.html
My starter keyboard was a Casio CTK-4200. Honestly, it had some reaaally nice rhodes and DX7 e.pianos, especially for it's price and quality range.
You now have Keyboards for each room of the house, nice
Does this keyboard run with a plug
I'm 39 and have played guitar for 23 years but have wanted to learn piano all my life. That beautiful intro sold me!
Just turned 40 and been playing guitar for 24 years. I've always wanted to dabble with a piano and i'm sold also!
Great sound and feel at a super reasonable price. Good way to learn and have some fun. I'm still rocking a much older Casio keyboard that feels like home to my hands.
The "How does it sound in the room" is such an important consideration when talking about these entry keyboards and I'm glad you went to the effort of filming that.
The Rhodes tone is simply incredible!
This is such an excellent and detailed review! Thank you so much! I've been mulling this purchase over, and you've made it much easier!
You are the first person who has demonstrated this Casio keyboard showings the true sounds and what it sounds like. Thank you so much! Hope you do more Casio keyboard demos. Perhaps the ctx3000?
Great demonstration and really nice playing!
Thank you! 🙏🏽
This is the best demonstration of the CT-S1 on TH-cam. I want to buy one now. The red one.
El rojo es bello, si lo tuvieran en amarillo sería bellísimo.
I'm LOVING this! Going to get one for live. Can't believe the OBX, Mellotron and Solina sounds! ACES! ⚡⚡⚡
The first keyboard in this price range that you can take out for a gig, it even works on batteries. Great sounds! I wanted to buy the ct x700 but it was just too bulky. This is something you can easily carry around, play while sitting on a couch,... Can't wait to get one.
Didya get one?
@@michellemonet4358 Yes. Gone are the days of heavy and bulky instruments. With the current state of technology there is no need for that anymore.
@@hvxcolors396 Perfect! I plan to record with mine.
Very Cool Instrument! That AIX Sound Processor is killer good. And for the price, terrific. Nice review, and as always outstanding playing Jack.
Keep it coming you guys, great stuff. Might be the best thing I've seen from Casio.
This was a superb review, by all metrics. Thanks for the help!
I am beginner in pianos, and I bought a Cts1 days ago. I thanks your review a lot, it shock me what this little piano can do. And I congratulate myself for my choice ha. Not bad decision for a piano beginner. Thank you very much you do a great job and you are not boring, really interesting reviews. Greetings from Argentina Republic.
Are you still playing the piano?
Great sounding kybd and demo! Cheers Mate!
Just placed my order based on this review. Thanks a ton!
I'm a guitarist who has played a little (very little keyboard in the past). My grandson asked me for my thoughts on this keyboard for a friend so I looked for a review online. I have bought a few things from Andertons in the past so I shared this review with my grandson. I told him that I already have GAS (Guitar Acquistion Syndrome) but this review is in danger of adding KAS (Keyboard Acquistion Syndrome) to my list too! Loved the jam over the Stevie Wonder song at the end too! Thanks for a great review!!
I just ordered the white version because of this review, I can't wait to pick mine up
You guys are the best! I’ve got a pxs3000, but I’m adding this to it!
Loved every second of this video! It is so much fun but also informative. You shared particular and super special features of this keyboard that I hadn’t found in any other review videos. Really worth it! I ordered the red one and now I’m even more excited and happy than before! ❤️✨🎹
What do you think of it after four months? 🎼🎶😎
@@nostalkingzone I've had one for about 6 months and am really pleased with my purchase. If what you want is a piano-like keyboard (but not actually a proper weighted digital piano) then definitely go for it. It's a tremendous amount of insturment for the money. Every single time anyone has heard it they've been shocked how good it sounds.
Great playing man… wow you a much better player than the other reviewers that I’ve seen cover this
For $200 US this is a great sounding bread and butter keyboard! Hell i think it smokes a lot keys in the $700+ range
Great demo! really enjoyed your playing! the Surround demo was a really nice touch
Great video, Jack. It's probably not going to be anyone's main gigging board but as a second keyboard or something for travelling etc this could be a winner. There'll be a tonne of cork-sniffers and brand fanbois but I actually really like a lot of the sounds in here for the price.
I'm excited about this. Been looking to replace my old hand-me-down Privia with something small enough to set on my desk and use for transcribing/composing but that also is fun to play as a stand-alone piano and I think this will fit the bill.
Great demo and it is just what I need. Ordered the red version to replace my CT S 200.
Excellent review - I'm putting my order in today. Incidentally, I have bought a few things from Andertons and find them an excellent company to deal with. Your playing is really good. Thanks. (best wishes from a bass player)
I was learning with a Yamaha PSR-50, it was sorta of a family heirloom at this point, saw this video and decided to buy the CT-S1. Best decision I've made, this keyboard is amazing for the price! Maybe I'm biased because I was playing with a 30yo piano. Great video btw. Cheers.
Super cool demonstration. Love your enthusiasm and great playing skills. And the keyboard sounds amazing. I have a Roland Juno X and a yamaha stage piano, but I am definately going to have this one TODAY :-) great for practicing an writing songs at the sea or where ever. Thanks for a great demo. I'll be buying mine locally in Denmark and are on my way to the shop. But Casio should give you royalties for the sale :-) cause it is your demo that talked me into buying it :-)
Just goes to show, that talent will out no matter what the cost of the instrument is... well played Jack, especially the outro.
Thanks for this great review and superbe playing !
6:00 that sound has blown my mind! What?! Expressive and realistic feeling Rhodes
I just saw this lil beauty in a local music shop for £249...I really want it...the sound was beautiful! And the keys felt great! Excellent, great vibes video...thanks for the smiles 😎
Great review! Thanks so much.
Absolutely banging, as usual.
Have always appreciated your honest and thorough reviews. I have my white Casio CT-S1 on preorder. Thanks again for your most pleasurable reviews and great playing.
Greetings from sunny California.
-Deb
@Dale Macarena Yes, infact I used to have the Yamaha PSR-373. It’s big on various and numerous voices, like a synth keyboard but since I’m not into all that and just want the basics (piano, electric piano, organ and strings) which is enough for me. I’m a senior who used to rock on Jimi Hendrix, Cream and Led Zepplin back in the day but now study classical piano so I don’t need all the other sound producing voices. Plus it all takes up so much real estate on the keyboard. I like plain but excellent basics which the Casio CT-S1 has. I also purchased it for the portability.
I love it. Perhaps depending on your age you might like the Yamaha PSR-373, it is a great keyboard but not what suits my needs.
@Dale Macarena LOL, yes Dale I do still rock to Led Zepplin and will love listening to them as long as I’m alive! Great that you want to play classical piano as learning classical lays the basic foundation of music. I also have a digital 88 key Yamaha P-515 which I use to practice and a Yamaha P-125. I’m lucky to have a fantastic professional classical piano teacher who is also a an opera singer. Her musical knowledge blows me away and at each weekly lesson I learn so much from her. If you haven’t started lessons already I’d strongly advise you to shop around for a piano instructor who focuses on classical piano and has a degree in music from a reputible school or university with years of professional experience. It will certainly pay off. Good luck to you
in your piano endeavors. The piano is a precious and beautiful instrument.
Hi Deb, even I am contemplating starting out with learning a piano. I was wondering should I be buying this keyboard or an basic 88 key digital piano to start off with? I could probably upgrade my instrument after a year or so.
What are your thoughts? Thanks :)
I'm getting this for Christmas. Love your vid!
This video is what sold me on the CT-S1! The piano and electric piano (Rhodes) are just KILLER! Sounds better than some of my synths that are $600-$1K! Perfect practice piano, and being a sucker for Casio (Because I still have an HT-6000) this was perfect. The only things I don't like are the lousy combo 3.5mm output and the "Quacky" Clav that is just not any good. But, if those are the only negatives, you are doing light years better than you could before this came out. Well worth $400, but for $200? Sold.
I think that was the Clav with the touch wah, but theres another in there without the wah
I just got one because of this video! Great value
Sounds pretty good to me.. would be a great addition to any family home. Versatile too.
Ah, I just wish I had the musical talent to make such a thing worth purchasing. I went through a phase of being really "into" music, but it ended when I reached the sad realisation that I was never, ever going to be any good at it. Much as I love music, I plainly suck at performing it.
One thing I did learn, though, is that instruments do not make musicians. You can have a good musician play a cheap toy keyboard and it'll sound better than 99% of the population playing a Steinway. The music isn't in the instruments. Or, indeed, in me. :-)
Nice demo!
Just purchased one today bro thanks so much for the review
beautiful piano sound from a budget keyboard...well done casio...im a fan
So sick the playing!
I recently purchased the CT-S1 keyboard. It is a wonderful sounding instrument, with just the right number of sounds/voices for those of us who really don't like to "tweak" - and the tones sound great!
However I'm having a strange issue with one of the patches: I'm getting a weird "overtone" when I'm using the Cathedral Organ patch (no. 32). When I set this patch and press F5 (you have to raise the keyboard an octave or two to play F5, so this is the scale note of F5, NOT the physical F5 keyboard layout as referenced in the user guide) I can distinctly hear a strange "overtone" pressing this key/note. If you start by pressing D5, then E5, F5, G5, you can tell something ain't quite right. It actually sounds like it is playing/sounding F5 and the F4 upper/higher drawbar notes. The same behavior also occurs at F6 (again, raising the keyboard by an octave, NOT the physical F6 keyboard layout).
If owners of this keyboard could test this and let me know, that would be great. I want to know if it's just my keyboard or a defect/bug in the keyboard - Thanks.
Excellent demo!!
Don't know if this is Casio's best, but you surely are the best! ✔️
Beautiful and lovely as always!
You could tell he was having fun playing it.
For a starter keyboard, I'm 100% sold. Thanks for the demo.
thanks for the video. im gonna buy 1 tomorrow!
I love this guy! What an enthusiasm! Love your playing, love the sounds! For the price, I think there are no competition! I am totally going to buy this!
Didyu get one?
@@michellemonet4358 Yep! Love it so far! 😊
Really excellent jack!
I love that jack played jump, I come back to watch that part often
Currently saving up to purchase this!
That opening piece is gorgeous
I've bought a sa-46 and just love it as a beginner , it's a good wee keyboard with plenty of accompaniments, and different tones to keep you interested . Best of all it only cost £20 second hand
Sounds great. Gonna place my order now :)
Beautiful playing, sir.
oh wow i love the surround sound from it
I bought four keyboards...now I need this one!!!!!! For portability of course! Do not tell my husband! I have them stashed here and there to be able to play at all of my grandkids houses!
Really useful sounds.
This playing! Great!
Pure magic on those keys there Jack! Quite an impressive keyboard given the price. Casio seems to be on a bit of a roll at the moment.
Alright, so it's a Casio and it kiiind of looks like a laser printer from the 90s, but it looks and sounds a lot classier than a lot of beginner keyboards filled to the brim with tacky marketing features and overly slick demo songs that would be impossible to actually create on the keyboard itself (ahem YAMAHA). They stuck to the basics and focused on getting a few quality sounds, and I would have much rather had this lying about at home when I was a kid than the old PSRs with 500 awful general midi samples.
I really enjoyed your playing 👍
Love your 'joy' at playing Jump! lol - hard relate from virtually every other keyboardist!
Roland: makes excellent& lightweight GO: ultra portable keyboards
Casio: "Oh no you didn't! Hold my beeru!"
Arr you referring to the roland gopiano
@@michellemonet4358 yes, the whóe Go: range of keyboards - Piano, Keys, the Alexa versiom…
I would actually by one of these! jack i look forward as always to your videos
You've convinced me. I've ordered one of these.
i aaaaam sooo enjoying your videos!!! :D
Looks great and sounds very decent.
amazing performance 😍
Since you asked, you’re doing a good job 👍
Jack I love you , you have the best vids. The over head shots, all I see is Golum hands, not a bad thing. Could be another career
I just got this board, just amazing
I have the S410..and This sounds awesome and amazing. I spent a whole hour at the music store playing at making sure that I knew everything or most everything that it could do and I walked out of there with that keyboard for $200 a Casio I couldn't believe it
Thank you Casio! Can you please release an updated model to the CT-S1 with L and R outputs and a normal midi port? Please please please! 🙏
The organs within the hidden keys are out of this world for this price.
Fantastic sir! Thank you
I am guitarrint.
After almost 1 weak of deep research I was in between casio ct s1, roland go piano and go keys. Each one has his strong and weak points but are very similar. Gladly I accidentally saw a review of Casio ct s500 and It has all I need (for a beginner to intermediate player). It has all features of the 3 I mentioned before, plus dual / split and octave shift. I can use as controller, I am very excited to get my new tool. When I get I will also do my review about it.
This guy is just amazing that organ ending was whoa
Holy crap! I'd been hung up about getting a Reface CP, but they seem to be unonbtanium now, then thought a Roland Go Piano might suit. Then I saw this. I'd pretty much buy it for the Rhodes and Wurli sounds, but add in decent organ and Clav sounds and I'm sold!
Do you like the ct s1 better thsn the roland gopiano?
A surround soundbar integrated into a keyboard, smart.
0:06 - I don't have a "trained" ear; but I could hear this as an opening movie theme any day of the week! (on parallel with "On Golden Pond") 🎹🎵🎶😎
hmmm, tempting af... perfect size to sit in the spot my broken Korg X5D currently occupies, and the sounds seem really dope! hmmm....
Jack well done, great video. Might use one of these inside a shell. Does it have USB midi? Or Bluetooth midi only
Hello thank you so much for giving a review about CT S1
Will you please a give a comparison video of CT s400 vs CT S1
I would buy this thing just for the rhodes and wurly sounds
It's a brave step Casio didn't include auto accompaniment. Nowadays you can use audio backing tracks.
I almost pre-ordered the CT-S1 just because it’s so clean, but I went ahead for the CT-S400 just because I genuinely enjoy The classic Casio Chord accompaniment and drums.
@@RobertSaintJohn Unfortunately, the exclusive tones of the S1 are not on the S400 which is basically a CT-X800 with a revamped user interface.
@@HubertEtAlice Is that right? Ive got the manuals for each and was trying to determine that. I assumed that the S400 had all the same sounds and capabilities as the S1, just a few more features and added complexity. I’m not familiar with the X800 (my most recent Casio was the XW-P1). But if that’s the case, I’m a little sad. I just wrote elsewhere last night that “One thing that always drove me a little nuts with the typical Casio keyboard back in the day was that it always seemed to be one feature short of perfection, something that might have been on the last model or the next model (which would inevitably be missing something different). But these latest models look like “you can have it all.”” But based on what you’re saying, the curse continues lol
@@RobertSaintJohn I have the CT-X800 and I noticed the S400 exactly has the same sounds and features. The only differences are 1) a much better ergonomy and user interface, 2) Bluetooth connectivity both for MIDI and audio but since it uses a dongle I suppose the CT-X800 might be able to use that dongle, too, 3) the possibility to adjust the volumes of the main, layer and split voices, a feature which is curiously missing on the CT-X800.
I feel as you do... the CT-X800 is missing this balance feature and the S400 will be missing the “premium” sounds of the S1. Aaahhh that tape flute and that VL-1 violin...
@@HubertEtAlice Well I’ll never admit I preordered both last night (did I say that aloud?) so either I’ll love them both or it’ll be thunderdome. It’s just a shame, I really would have paid somewhat more to have that one perfect modern Casiotone (very into my vintage ones). Still, I have to keep reminding myself that I’m not the target market any longer, and I suspect most users have no idea what we’re talking about
Mr Duxbury giving it his best as always...
Really nice playing. You do this instrument justice.
you look like jim carry brother :-) been following your videos awsome keep going god bless
I hope Casio will update the Casiotone CT-S1 to a full size keyboard, it would be perfect. Maybe we should make a suggestion to Casio
okay this made me decide, am definitely buying this one, first, i can use this as a midi controller for fl studio, 2nd, its portable, 3, it sounds good for its price.
same.
What do the keys feel like? How do they compare to an actual piano?
That outro is fire! "Jesus Children (live)" by Soulive; excellent choice.
Thanks so much mate for watching, the kind words and letting me know there’s fellow Soulive fans out there ✊ Neil is my frickin’ Hero ❤
@@jackduxbury1632 Indeed!
i love ur playinggg
It actually sounds better with the surroundsound off. With the surroundsound button pressed it sounds very coarse
AWESOME!!!!
Here in Brazil it's cost around 2k, (btw: the minimum salary is R$1.100)
