Casio SA-50 Mini Keyboard

£60.00

If you are looking for a fun and portable musical gift for your children – the Casio SA-50 Mini Keyboard is a perfect choice for you!

The SA-50 Mini Keyboard has 32 mini keys perfectly sized to make learning tunes and following along with the pre-programmed songs easy for children. Upon opening the box I was impressed by its quality – each key is perfectly sized for smaller hands, and all buttons are soft touch. The keyboard is super easy to navigate from its LCD screen, and only requires 6 AA batteries for hours of fun. Across the top of the keyboard are a range of tones and drumbeats, as well as pre-programmed songs perfect to let children explore the different sounds and develop their musical understanding.

I was most impressed by the sound quality and extensive tone range for such a compact keyboard. Casio has included a new sound chip in the keyboard which delivers consistently high-quality stereo sound - Casio even boasts that its SA-50 series are the best 32-note mini keyboards it has ever produced! Furthermore, weighing only 1kg the keyboard is lightweight and easy to move around to suit your space, which is a big perk especially when compared to fixed or larger keyboard options.

The SA-50 also includes a headphone port to allow your children to still practice the piano but in a much quieter way – great for when other smaller siblings are sleeping! I let my small cousin try out the mini-keyboard and he was thrilled. He sat for hours hitting the tone buttons and hitting keys to make his own ‘song’ up! Therefore, for any child, I think this would make a great choice to either channel their creativity or way to encourage an educational musical activity as a family.

I was super impressed that every Casio keyboard comes with access to the Casio Music Academy, which is an online course suited to beginners to help them learn and develop their skills on the piano. It comes completely free with the purchase of your mini keyboard and does not include any subscription fees. Therefore, by buying the SA-50 you are also giving your child access to hours of online tutorial videos to help them learn new songs. Therefore, the SA-50 continues to deliver even after its initial purchase!

If you are looking for a great gift for your children this Christmas that is fun, portable and will help to develop their musical talents then this is the one for you! It will provide hours and hours of enjoyment and may even inspire them to take up the piano when they are older. Therefore, I’m sure any child would be thrilled to receive this under the tree this Christmas!
