Casio keyboard

Beginner's electronic piano

A Casio keyboard is an electronic keyboard manufactured by Casio, the Japanese electronics company.

These affordable, portable instruments became synonymous with beginner music-making in the 1980s and remain popular for learning piano basics.

The term sometimes appears dismissively to describe cheap-sounding electronic music: It sounds like it was made on a Casio keyboard.
