Is it a good choice?"},"content":{"rendered":"<h1>Casio Digital Piano CTK 1500 Review Complete: It is a good choice?<\/h1>\n\n<p>Casio Computer Co., Ltd. is an electronics manufacturer founded in 1946 and based in Tokyo, Japan. Now we will look at their CTK 1500 keyboard which is an excellent choice for beginners, and people who are learning to play the keyboard. It is the predecessor of the Casio CTK 1550 that we will compare later.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re talking about a keyboard that comes to cost about \u20ac95. Its price is usually under \u20ac100.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a very competitively priced keyboard but it lacks the sensitivity on the keyboard to do dynamics, the midi and a sustaining pedal input. There are keyboards for little more money than if they bring all those things that I consider vital in a keyboard as you will see in the comparison.<\/p>\n<p>It must also be said that the new Casio CTK 1550 has come out, which is basically the same as you will see in the comparisons.<\/p>\n<p>Just go with the features of this popular keyboard due to its low price:<\/p>\n<h2>Features<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Musical keyboard with 61 keys.<\/li>\n<li>32 notes of <strong>polyphony<\/strong> (number of notes that can be played at the same time). This includes the accompaniments that also consume notes. So if you play on top of an accompaniment more notes will be accumulated)<\/li>\n<li>120 <strong>sounds<\/strong>. (Different sounds of piano and other instruments)<\/li>\n<li>Dance Music effects aimed at making electronic music.<\/li>\n<li>50 Preset songs. (pre-recorded)<\/li>\n<li>70 Preset types of <strong>rhythms<\/strong>. (Accompanying rhythms that adapt to what you are playing. There are bossa nova rhythms, etc. Sometimes they are also known as accompaniment styles) (to play over)<\/li>\n<li>Learning system: Left hand, right hand, both hands. (although not very useful actually)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Transposition<\/strong> function (Transposition allows you to move the note spectrum of a keyboard. This is to be able to play with transposing instruments. It is not an easy concept but it is made to facilitate the writing of an orchestration for instruments with very different bass and treble registers)<\/li>\n<li>LC display to improve usability.<\/li>\n<li>Combined line and headphone output to plug it into a mixer.<\/li>\n<li>2 x 2 W speaker system.<\/li>\n<li>Possibility of operation also with batteries.<\/li>\n<li>Very handy size (W x D x H): 946 x 307 x 92 mm.<\/li>\n<li>A very light weight of 3.3 kg (it&#8217;s one of the best you have).<\/li>\n<li>It has no MIDI-USB connection, which would allow a connection to the computer to be used as a MIDI controller in some music production program.<\/li>\n<li>It does not include a power supply, which has to be of the type AD-E95100.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.buscarinstrumentos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/casio-ctk-1500-final2.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5553 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.buscarinstrumentos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/casio-ctk-1500-final2.jpeg\" alt=\"review casio-ctk-1500\" width=\"410\" height=\"388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.buscarinstrumentos.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/casio-ctk-1500-final2.jpeg 410w, https:\/\/www.buscarinstrumentos.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/casio-ctk-1500-final2-150x142.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.buscarinstrumentos.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/casio-ctk-1500-final2-300x284.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.buscarinstrumentos.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/casio-ctk-1500-final2-38x36.jpeg 38w, https:\/\/www.buscarinstrumentos.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/casio-ctk-1500-final2-250x237.jpeg 250w, https:\/\/www.buscarinstrumentos.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/casio-ctk-1500-final2-106x100.jpeg 106w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 410px) 100vw, 410px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Sound<\/h2>\n<p>Now that we have listed and described the features of this keyboard, there&#8217;s no better way than to take a look at the following video where they tell us more about the Casio CTK-1500 and you can hear how its different sounds sound.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Casio CTK-1500  | Tones &amp; Rhythms\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jZfSB8O0m_s?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>You will surely be interested&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.buscarinstrumentos.com\/oferton-del-momento\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">See this section for possible discounts and offers<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.buscarinstrumentos.com\/los-mejores-pianos-digitales-teclados-piano-relacion-calidad-precio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ranking with the best value for money digital pianos<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.buscarinstrumentos.com\/comprar-teclados-piano-baratos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The cheapest keyboards to get started<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.buscarinstrumentos.com\/aprender-teclado-y-piano\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Learn piano for free<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now let&#8217;s compare the Casio CTK-1500 with its more common alternatives.

There is a slight difference of 30 ? between both and we will see if they are really worth it.

Although I already advance you that it is worth it because it brings what I consider essential in a keyboard that is sensitivity in the keys, MIDI and sustain pedal input at a very good price.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Both keyboards have 61 keys, however the CTK 3500 has touch sensitivity, that is, if you press a key hard, it will sound higher, while if you play a note gently it will sound lower.<\/li>\n<li>The CTK 1500 has 32 notes of polyphony, the CTK 2500 provides 48. Polyphony means the number of notes that can be played at the same time.<\/li>\n<li>The CTK 1500 offers 120 sounds, while the CTK 3500 offers 400 sounds.<\/li>\n<li>Both include pre-recorded songs in demo form, the CTK 1500 has 50, while the CTK 3500 gives 60.

The Casio CTK 1500 has a value of \u20ac95, while the Yamaha PSR F51 has a value ranging from \u20ac100 to \u20ac120\/$150 depending on the store. This means that we have an increase of 30 Euros more. Let&#8217;s find out if it&#8217;s worth this increase in price.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Both are 61-key keyboards and have 32 polyphonic notes, remember that polyphony refers to the number of notes that can be played at the same time.<\/li>\n<li>In both keyboards we find 120 sounds, at the end of this comparison there is a video where the sounds of the Yamaha PSR F51 are shown, noticing that being of different brands, their sounds also change.<\/li>\n<li>In the preset songs we find that the CTK 1500 has 50, and the Yamaha PSR F51 has 30, in the accompaniment preset rhythms the Casio has 70 and the Yamaha includes 114.<\/li>\n<li>Both have a learning system, the Casio with different hands (right and left) and the Yamaha, a Duo system, in which it allows two people to play the keyboard at the same time.<\/li>\n<li>One difference is that the Casio has 2W speakers, while the Yamaha has 2.5W speakers. Slightly more powerful.<\/li>\n<li>In the measurements, we have the Casio with (W, D, H) 946 x 307 x 92 mm with a weight of 3.3kg and the Yamaha with 990 x 380 x 160 mm and its weight is 3.4kg.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, the Casio does not include the power pedal, unlike the Yamaha, which does.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We will put the characteristics of each of these pianos in 2 different columns to make it easier to see the differences, which are quite competitive:<\/p>\n<div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_table tcb-fixed\">\n<table class=\"tve_table tcb-fixed tve_no_inner_border tve_table_flat\" data-rows=\"2\" data-cols=\"2\" data-css=\"tve-u-166bb8d0a3d\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"tve_table_row\">\n<th class=\"tve_table_cell\">\n<div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\">\n<p>Casio CTK-1500<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/th>\n<th class=\"tve_table_cell\">\n<div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\">\n<p>Yamaha PSR F51<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"tve_table_row\">\n<td class=\"tve_table_cell\">\n<div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\">\n<div>\n<ul style=\"padding-left: 0px;\">\n<li>Musical keyboard with 61 keys.<\/li>\n<li>32 notes of polyphony.<\/li>\n<li>120 sounds.<\/li>\n<li>Dance Music effects oriented to make electronic music.<\/li>\n<li>50 Preset songs (pre-recorded).<\/li>\n<li>70 Preset types of rhythms (to play over).<\/li>\n<li>Learning system: Left hand, right hand, both hands.<\/li>\n<li>Transposition function.<\/li>\n<li>LC display to improve usability.<\/li>\n<li>Combined line and headphone output for plugging into a mixer.<\/li>\n<li>2 x 2 W speaker system.<\/li>\n<li>Possibility of operation also with batteries.<\/li>\n<li>Very handy size (W x D x H): 946 x 307 x 92 mm.<\/li>\n<li>A very light weight of 3.3 kg (it is one of the best it has).<\/li>\n<li>It does not include a power supply which has to be of the type AD-E95100.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"tve_table_cell\">\n<div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\">\n<ul style=\"padding-left: 0px;\">\n<li>Music keyboard with 61 keys.<\/li>\n<li>32 notes of polyphony.<\/li>\n<li>120 sounds.<\/li>\n<li>30 Preset songs (pre-recorded).<\/li>\n<li>114 Preset types of rhythms (to play over).<\/li>\n<li>Duo learning system: allowing two people to play the keyboard at the same time.<\/li>\n<li>Transposition function.<\/li>\n<li>LC display for improved usability.<\/li>\n<li>Combined line and headphone output for plugging into a mixer.<\/li>\n<li>2.5 x 2.5 W speaker system.<\/li>\n<li>Possibility of battery operation.<\/li>\n<li>Very handy size (W x D x H): 990 x 380 x 160 mm.<\/li>\n<li>Very light weight of 3.4 kg.<\/li>\n<li>Includes power supply.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"inner js-replace-text\" lang=\"es\" data-orig-lang=\"es\"><\/div>\n<div lang=\"es\" data-orig-lang=\"es\">Here is a video of the Yamaha PSR F51:<\/div>\n<div lang=\"es\" data-orig-lang=\"es\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Yamaha PSR-F51 Overview\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eKAR5h3TTSw?start=86&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div lang=\"es\" data-orig-lang=\"es\">And if you want more information you can visit our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buscarinstrumentos.com\/en\/yamaha-psr-f51\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">review of the Yamaha PSR F51<\/a><\/div>\n<h2>Casio CTK-1500 vs Startone MK-300<\/h2>\n<p>Now we will have a versus with the Casio CTK 1500, which we have already mentioned has a value of \u20ac95 and the Startone MK-300 with a price of \u20ac115\/\u00a3102.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Both keyboards have 61 keys, however on the Startone we find that they have sensitivity, i.e. if we play with more or less force, the note volume will increase or decrease proportionally.<\/li>\n<li>In the Casio we have 32 polyphonic notes and in the Startone 64.
