Casio CDP-S110 Digital Piano (White)

General

Lightweight and space-saving, the Casio CDP-S110 digital piano can just as easily be toted to lessons, rehearsals, and performances as it can be set up in a corner of the living room. Pianists are treated to the refined feel of eighty-eight velocity-sensitive, hammer-action keys finished with an anti-slip coating, a clear and easily navigated set of controls, and a comprehensive instrument that can be both mains and battery powered.

The Casio CDP-S110 Digital Piano

Designed for beginner and intermediate musicians, this piano has been stripped clean of any functions that would otherwise be left unused. As such, the Casio CDP-S110 is fully focussed on the essentials: ten excellent sounding acoustic and electric pianos, streamlined functions, and a useful metronome. Two 8 Watt speakers have already been integrated into the neat housing, but if you do need more volume, the CDP-S110 can easily be hooked up to an external keyboard amplifier. Around the back, a headphone output, a USB-B port that supports MIDI via USB, and an AUX input for linking a phone or tablet have been fitted, alongside a port for plugging in the included sustain pedal.

The Chordana Play for Piano App

The free Casio-developed Chordana Play for Piano app can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play to further expand the potential of the CDP-S110. Via this app, the digital piano can be remotely controlled using a tablet or phone; pianists can read PDF sheet music on their device and turn pages using a pedal (not included); and developing musicians can enjoy guided lessons in which the rhythm and tempo can be adjusted so students can learn at their own speed. This app offers plenty more, and since it's free, it's well worth playing with.
