#LKS250 #Casio #Keyboard
Hello again and welcome to the Merriam Pianos RU-vid channel. Today we’ll be looking at something a bit different for the channel as we unbox the 61 note, Casio LK-S250, and see what Stu’s initial thoughts and impressions are.
While you might think a 61 note keyboard like this is built strictly for having fun and playing around, an instrument like this is actually pretty common with all types of pianists who need a supplemental, highly portable piano option.
If this is the first time to the Merriam Pianos channel, please subscribe, we’d really appreciate the support!
Touch Sensitive
Casio says the LK-S250 is touch sensitive, and after getting it out the box and plugged in, I can confirm that this is indeed true. This is a pretty refreshing feature for a 61 note keyboard, and while this doesn’t mean a player is going to develop great piano technique on this instrument, the benefit is that it can be used as a MIDI controller with some control over the velocity.
Interface
The commands and controls are really well laid out - there’s nothing too ambiguous. Volume control and navigating the different tones is super easy.
Tons of Sounds
There’s 400 total tones on here, which is of course a huge amount of variety. The quality of the different tones obviously isn’t great, but when you consider that this instrument costs only $200 CAD, having 400 total tones is great value.
Lesson Mode
There’s a lesson feature with 60 total songs wherein the keys light up indicating the next note to be played. This could be pretty fun for a beginner.
Rhythm Mode
Rhythm mode is essentially an accompaniment feature that adds either a drum track, or full rhythm section backing track. There’s 50 total rhythms, so again, quite a bit of variety here.
Conclusions
The LK-S250 is an all around nice total package, when you consider the price and all of the features you’re getting. That being said, I wouldn’t recommend this or any 61 note keyboard for beginner piano students as you will not be able to develop proper technique. That being said, for folks specifically looking for a super portable 61 note option, the LK-S250 offers a lot of value.

I'm turned into 60 and I'm getting an immense appetit for learning new things, and I mean anything, so this kind of keyboards looks fascinating as I have no idea if I will keep playing piano or trying the Mount Blank tour in an electric bike... Certainly drinking alcohol, eating fat and rambling at the local bar is not in my retirement plans. Dear Stu I love your reviews and your mastery as piano player, please keep doing this as you are the inspiration for lots of people that are vested into doing fun and productive things with their free time.

I honestly really enjoyed this video. I really appreciate that there's no snobbery when reviewing keyboards like this. Although I do get a laugh out of the odd face pulling moments from time to time 😂 Also love that the first thing that keyboard experienced out of the box was series of complex jazz chords and scales, I wouldn't have expected any less! Wouldn't have it any other way!

Gotta say, it looks pretty good for a cheaper priced keyboard. Besides my home digital piano I also have a 61-key Roland so that I can still practice my repertoire, technical requirements etc. when I travel during the week. It was a little pricey but I'm happy. However, this Casio's price is excellent. If it has full-size keys (ie. typical horizontal dimensions across the keys) then this is definitely one to include in your search for an instrument to practice on the go.

Not everybody wants to play an acoustic piano in the future. If this is the case, you don't need weighted keys... I would love you could compare 2 or 3 entry level arranger keyboards (not so cheap as this one, but still "entry level" or intermediate): - Casio CT-X5000 (or CT-X3000) - Korg EK-50 - Yamaha PSR-EW410/E463/E373 Thanks.

Hi, thanks a lot for this video, so helpful. However, I still have some personal questions and advice requests for you. My son is turning 11 this coming Sunday. He's been playing piano for 4 years, in an hour-long collective class every week. He's very soon started to compose, to his level. He's rather prolific, hungry for more. He's asked for his birthday a "synthétiser". Already in itself, it took me days to finally come to the conclusion that it is probably more of a "keyboard" he wants. He wants 61 keys, and is majorly attracted to eighties type synth music. That's what he'd like to play around with. Trying to find the right thing for him is a nightmare. Budget would be about 300€ tops (we are French and live in France). Thanks to you, we've excluded the RockJam which he'd imagined would do the trick. Now we know that, as a non beginner in piano, he'd probably suffer!! That brings me to the safe brands Casio (the model you review here sounds good enough?) and Yamaha, with an equivalent. I haven't found a review of an equivalent from Yamaha. Have you made a video? If not, do you have an idea of an advice of such a product? Do you think this type of keyboard will do the job for him? (Very curious, adventurous, carefree, musically creative and hungry for more). I am the type who prefer to pay a little more, on a rather low budget, and have something that will remain with us longer! If you manage to reply quickly (I'm not just last minute for the birthday, but the more time I've given to this search has led to increasingly more time needed! 😅🥵🤷‍♀), I'll be hugely grateful! 🙏
@MerriamPianos
@MerriamPianos 2 года назад
You're very welcome! Thank you so much for tuning in and for your questions! While the LKS250 is a great little piano for the money and certainly serves its purpose as an introductory instrument for beginners to explore a variety of different sounds and features, I believe that your son requires something a little more substantial given how long he has been playing for. Budget permitting, the Roland JUNO DS61 is a fantastic synthesizer! This is a professional calibre instrument that would not only excite and inspire now, but many years down the road. You can always explore the used market too. Finding models that are a generation or two older can help increase the cost-to-value ratio you receive from your purchase. Thanks again! Wishing your son a wonderful birthday! :)
@ahaa7750
@ahaa7750 2 года назад
@@MerriamPianos thanks ever so much! So very useful! Unfortunately, we couldn't find any Roland Juno DS61 close enough to our budget. You probably have more options than we do in the USA. We might start to save money to get one like this in the future. We did a very long search and ended up choosing an already top limit budget one: the Yamaha EZ300. Hopefully, he'll have some fun with it, hopefully above the Casio...? 😨😳🤷‍♀ Thanks again, though, we definitely keep in mind the one you recommended. 🙏

There will be certain limitations. For instance, it is only 61 keys. More advanced piano repertoire will require an 88 key range. Furthermore, the lack of a proper weighted key touch will make certain techniques and expressive element difficult to perform. With that said, it is a good introductory starting point. :)
