Casio SA-75 37-Key Mini Keyboard With Microphone

zZounds' Take on Casio SA-75

If you're a musician, you almost certainly remember your first instrument; for many it was a school instrument, for some it was a guitar, but for most of us it was a small Casio keyboard much like the SA-75. At first glance it looks almost identical to the old Casiotones from the 80's, but look closer and you'll notice a great deal of updates and improvements.

Casio SA-75 - A great update to an old favorite

Unlike the old Casios of yore that had maybe five different sounds, the SA-75 is packed the the gills with 100 sounds - ranging from traditional instruments like piano and strings, to synthesized bass and lead instruments. The Casio SA-75 even has sound effects such as airplane and laser sounds. Where the old Casios had a small handful of different rhythms, the SA-75 has 30. The old Casios definitely never had LCD screens, but the SA-75 has a screen capable of showing notation, tone, a moving metronome and more. The SA-75 also has a 10 song bank; you can either listen to the song in its entirety, or disable the melody and play along with just the accompaniment.

A microphone included with the Casio SA-75

Here's another feature that was never in the old Casios that you will find in the SA-75 - a microphone port and an included microphone headset. Kids love to hear themselves through speakers (ok, we all do), and what better way to turn your little songwriter into a singer/songwriter? They can use the Casio SA-75 to sing along with classic favorites such as Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Aura Lee, Silent Night and more.

SA-75: Tiny keys for tiny fingers

Just as an adult keyboardist wouldn't want to play on a keyboard with 4 inch wide keys, a young child wouldn't want to play a keyboard with full sized keys. That's why the Casio SA-75 has such small keys - easy to play, easy to learn, and lots of fun for years to come.
