Casio CTK-1100


Keyboard rather than console

100 tones, 100 rhythms and 100 songs. The CTK-1100 offers ambitious beginners a multitude of options for really delving into the world of music. The clear LC display helps with orientation. The CTK-1100 comes with a perfectly designed learning system for effective key training. The feature for selecting right or left hand, available at the touch of a button, enables for example, sections to be practiced individually for the right or left hand in combination with the 100 built-in pieces. The controller scores points, as it is easy to use: similar to a CD player (stop, play/pause, rewind, fast forward). The design is really hip: jet black and ultra slim.
