Casio CDP-100 Digital Piano Review
Over All Rating: 
Price: $399.99 (currently priced/price may change) Return Policy: The Casio CDP 100 Digital Piano has a 30-day FULL money back guarantee. The product also comes with a warranty on the following: Parts and Labor - 1 year (includes power supply) Brand: Casio Model #: CDP100 Recommended Merchant: www.amazon.com About The Product: The Casio CDP-100 Digital Piano is completely portable and compact - it's simply amazing how it gives the sound of a real grand piano. That's why it comes with the gorgeous CS43 wooden stand to match it since you might want to put it down on a permanent spot in your home. The Casio CDP100 is equipped with carefully sampled grand piano sound and scaled hammer action. The stereo-sampled dual element sound source uses new compression technology that enables storage of large volumes of waveform data in digital piano memory. On the other hand, the 88-key Scaled Hammer Action feature is a springless hammer system similar to the ones used in grand pianos and delivers keyboard touch that is naturally firm. So you can play heavier on the low notes and go a little lighter on the higher notes just as you do on a grand piano. There are 3 touch sensitivity levels to give you a realistic playing output and the Casio CDP-100 comes with 5 piano sound types, 32-note polyphony, eight digital effects, layer and transpose functions, five demo songs, a speaker system, MIDI I/O, with headphones and sustain pedal jack, plus the SP-3 sustain pedal. Overall, the Casio CDP-100 is a beautifully sounding digital piano that's great on new technological features yet closest to real piano sound. |

Customer Feedback-
"I am very happy with the CDP-100 and highly recommend this as a piano for people who don't have the money/space for a real piano. As a college student, I think this is the perfect keyboard since I can put on my headphones in when I practice and not disturb my roommates." - Actual User Review - Amazon.com "This is the best deal in 88 weighted keyboards these days, hands down. Not sure why Casio thought it was a good idea to have a nice board but then put only one piece of crap stereo 1/8 inch jack output. I guess it's their way of saying "You haven't paid enough to actually use this thing for anything professional." - Actual User Review - Amazon.com "It sounds great but through the amp that comes with the keyboard. It amplifies to the level of a real Piano." - Actual User Review - Guitarcenter.com "I loved this keyboard, but the clatter sound from bouncing the keys bothered me a lot. overall, very nice and sturdy keyboard. I would recommend this keyboard, but you might have to max the volume in order to avoid hearing the clatter." - Actual User Review - Pricegrabber.com |
