Casiotone CT-S300 Tones, Rhythms & Features Review 

I play piano for about two years now. My first 2 years weren't consistent, but now it is... What I realized is that, as long as the keyboard's is in good shape, it always depend on the consistency and perseverance of the aspiring pianist. Don't rely much on how "expensive" your keyboard is, if you're not determined to play it So I'd most likely advice everyone else, not to give up even if you encounter difficulties in playing any instrument. Coz you could be regretting in the next years. Am a fan of you Jeremee See! Keep it up!😍

I'm really glad you posted this. I've been thinking seriously about getting it for practice away from home. I'm learning keyboard but I'm away from home most of the day (babysitting my grandchildren). I like the fact that it is so light, but this one has touch sensitivity. We also camp a lot so it would be easy to take along.. I know you featured the the CT-S200 in earlier videos, but this was the one I really wanted to check out.

Hey Jeremy, thank you for doing those videos. You really helped me choosing a decent starter piano for my kid.

Thank you for the review Jeremy!!

Hi there Jeremy. Gary from England here. I would appreciate your advice on something if I may....but firstly a big thank you for all your many and varied honest and up front video assessments of keyboards and pianos! I am, at 62, finally kinda dipping my toe into the wide world of keyboards/pianos. I have always loved the sound of piano...and several friends play it. For me this journey is a beginning and tentative one to get a feel for whether it is indeed a musical path I wish to go down and immerse myself into. Hence electronic keyboard to start and am on a budget. I will be buying from a store here that I have an account with....listening to your videos my store is a little pricey but its what I will do given finances and the fact that I do have an account.......so, my question: given what I have seen on your videos matched with what my store has to sell...which of these options would you honestly recommend for a complete novice like me and bearing in mind my intention to just test the water at this point: Casiotone cts 300; Yamaha psr e463; casio lk 250; yamaha psr e310. These are the affordable options. Two things Iwould say.....would prefer to have decent speaker sound and default piano sounds above all else. Jeremy thanks so much for your advice and input and I look forward ro watching more of what you do. Gary Radley

thanks for the review!

After 12 of your videos finally found it, ty, cleared my doubts with ctx 3500, ty just ordered it🙏👍😁😉

I've been searching for a piano for quite some time now and with your thoughts, I think this one is the way to go, Thank you, Mr.See.

Your vids always are so light and upbeat. I like what you're doing. Keep it going!

I just got the CT-S300, love it!

Another great review Jeremy, thank you! Yes you are correct about the price difference. Here in the UK the RRP is £179 ($230 US Dollars as of 5th Nov 2019). This include VAT (our sales tax) and free shipping, but it's still a very significant difference to our friends across the pond. Looking forward to your Yamaha PSS-A50 review.

I bought this a couple of days ago and I am waiting for it to arrive

I ordered a cts 300 today! Can’t wait to start learning. Thanks Mr.See

Watching this again before buying one for myself! Thanks for this.

I was going to get a cts 200 but your breakdown of the differences led me to cancel that order and go with the cts 300. You've definitely gained a sub, love your videos!

Thank u, it helped me a lot, I'm about to buy the CT-S300.

All I want is a great piano sound and touch sensitivity. 😂

Thank you for the great video! It was pretty instructive! I just bought one Casiotone CST 300 and right now I'm waiting it arrives in my home. I am anxious! Anyway, thanks for the video, mate!

Excelente review, gracias por la información! 😀

i loved your reviews -very comprehensive without getting nerdy or boring . Excellent, informative review . Greetings from Ausrtralia

CT-S is a perfect keyboard to go with a Casio watch. I kinda wish Casio would make a bundle of keyboard and watch for "stylish" reasons. For example: Casiotone bundled with the basic Illuminator, CT-X bundled with the mid-level G-Shock, or digital piano bundled with the high-end Edifice/Diver

Very nice review of casiotone cts-300 l, excellent!!👌👌👌👌

hoy compre el cts 200... gracias a las reviews de tu canal.

Thanks for this information ❤

Hello fellow countryman! I just bought this at the stroke of midnight on 19/12/2020, as an impulsive buy! 😂

Alright , I just picked this up and it’s amazing

Thanks Jeremy! You helped me make a decision I was flummoxed about so easy. It was between the Ctk 3500 and the S300. Now I will get the S300 being a beginner at keyboard! 😊😊

i got this keyboard a week ago. it's nice and perfect for beginners like me. thanks for making this video

I just bought one starting back to playing piano so I am looking forward to learning and playing

Great review. I certainly agree that the prices are jacked up in Europe. I nearly blew a fuse when I heard the price in the video and compared it to the price I paid for it here in Europe.

Watching your videos since I started having interest on piano But someone told me that there are Grand piano, Acoustic piano,Digital piano, Keyboards So I need to watch the difference and one of your videos explained it and decided I'll go with keyboards And now I'm looking on what keyboard I should buy as a beginner And the casiotone CTS-300 got my attention so I stumble upon on this video so I can know it better This video helps me a lot because on how non bias and how clear your review is So I decided to save money for a casiotone CTS-300 Thanks Jeremy

Thanks for the review man!! Almost bought the s200 but decided to check the tube for validation and welp.. I got up sold on the s300 and I couldn’t be more happier haha shout out amazon prime 🧛🏻‍♂️🤘🏼

Looks like this will be the one to get me through quarantine haha

Very helpfull ❤️

Good video!

I just ordered this keyboard from Amazon. After looking about 25 different keyboards, It sold me on the touch sensitive keys.

Great Review!! Thank you for your insightful introduction, Jeremy. The review make it much easier for me to decide which keyboard is the most suuitable for me as a beginner and an aspiring hobbyist. Hope the investment would be worthwhile in the long run.

Bought it...thank you Jeremy See...

love it!

Super helpful review! I just bought a CTS300 for my son who is learning to play.

I'm a guitarist that also plays keys. I own Casio PX-310, Casio XWP1 and Casio CZ-3000 Casio is highly underrated

Thanks for the great review! Is Yamaha. np12 better than this in terms of keybed and midi controller?

I think I’m going to buy this!!!

Thank you for this video ! I play the piano and was looking for a keyboard I could bring with me abroad and to play with headphones, I think I will go with the CasioTone CT-S300 !

Bought one, thanks for the info. Sir Jeremy.

Hi Jeremy, Your videos are indeed very inspiring. I got influenced and I bought a Casio CTS 300 to learn keyboard. But there is no chord button. Also when I am playing left hand chord (CEG) some other music is starting to play. The manual is also inconclusive about playing normal left hand chord. The Rythm, Pattern, ACMP options are of no help. The beats keep starting to play the moment I press left hand C-E-G. How to play normal left hand chord without triggering other beats or sounds? This is so frustrating. Please help.

Thank you Jeremy. I bought one today and it is terrific.

I really want to play piano but I don't have much space for 76/88 keys. Gotta find 61 keys, and I think I found what I'm looking for! And I can use it for controllers! Thank you, Jeremy! I sub'd!

I’ve had mine for a week as a side keyboard (to my Yamaha P-515 digital piano) for practice if on vacation. It’s perfect just for practice and fun. The built-in handle is very convenient but wish they had a gig bag for these Casiotones for plane travel.

Thanks J

That's a good good piece there... ツ

wow Han plays the keyboard now!

Great comparison with the cts 200 and your breakdown of pros and cons, definitely helped me to make this particular purchase. I don't want to spend over $200 and this one is selling at $180 in Canada and I will need a sturdy stand for it too. Great video!

Finally I bought it and it's awesome 😍🎶my first keyboard was f51 but I learn very quickly and I want a sensitive touch keyboard. This is awesome because of keys. looks like a real piano. I love it 🎶🎶🎶

I just bought one of these, I'm in lockdown at the moment and like you said, they overcharging. I bought mine for $319 Australian $. Can't wait to learn to play.

Just bought one. Wish I could get a red one like the S200. 😭

Cool keyboard. Good for cell group meeting and i can play the worship songs carrying around with it. Too bad they don't have red or white colour like the S200 . Anyway thanks for sharing Jeremy ❤👍

Thank you so much for all your in-depth videos. In your opinion, is there a difference in the feel of the keys in the LK-250 vs. the CT-S300? Trying to decide between the two.

I like ct-s200 because of the red color which is very unusual that's why I like it, but because of this review I bought ct-s300. Thank you sir! ❤️🎹 This video is a money saver already 👍🏼

Hello, Jeremy. I’m looking for a 61 key keyboard that I will be using for one of my subject in my school. I will mostly use it for practicing my assigned scales and pieces. Do you think this will be good enough for that purpose? Thank you so much

Hi Jeremy, How is the touch sensitivity keys on this one? I recently bought Alesis Q49 midi and returned it because keys velocity was not good. Should I go for keyboards like this one or should I get another midi? (I'm a beginner) Thanks.

I bought one!! Unfortunately in my country the Yamaha PSR E363 is being priced at around 300 USD, so i went with this, the casio CTS 300 since its slimmer, new, priced at 200 usd here, and its more accessible haha

Hi Jeremy, can you kindly do a review of the Lesson Function found in CT-S200, CT-S300 and LK-S250? I don't seem to hear you mention it in any of your videos, or did you? Thanks.

Hi Jeremy, please tell me there is a way to go up and down in octave quickly while playing. I just bought the 300 and it doesn't seem to have that

Jeremy, your videos helped me choose this one over the CTK-3500, especially in these covid times, when going to the store and trying the keyboards isn't really an option... Thank you very much! PS: here at Chile it's overpriced as well, costing $200.

Should I go for this or the ctx 700? I'm going to use it with FL Studio Just want to know if it's good as a midi keyboard (like if there's any delay or detection issues)

Hi, thanks for these Jeremy which would you recommend between these Casio CTS300BK Casiotone Keyboard vs Casio LK135 Keyboard? Thanks! I'm mainly looking to learn the piano in a small apartment.

What does the 2 sensitivity levels mean? Is it only full velocity and low velocity? Or is actually fully touch sensitive?

hi Jeremy. Finally i will start my lessons. I dont have yet the Keyboard. I tink that if i want to change the voice is more easy with other keyboard (doing it with buttons instead the control of the cts300)

hi jeremy, is there a setting for cts300 to hear from both headphones and speakers at the same time? i hope you see this.

Dear Jeremy, Thanks once again for your great working. You may recognize me who told you about the CT-series price in Thailand. I head to got the 2nd hand CTK-3500 (about 160 USD) last 2 weeks, instead of CT-S300. If CASIO release the next generation of CT-S300 - with this shape by fill the blank panel space with the LCD display like CTK-3500 or better with able to turn on/off backlight, and necessary buttons of registration, dual, layer, etc by the reasonable price - it would be great to all. Have a nice day 🙂

bought it already nd seeing this😅😅 worth buying 4 me

Hi Sir Jeremy . I have been searching for the best entry level beginner keyboard. Would you recommend this over 88 keys non branded piano keyboard? Or let's say a surplus Japan Casio. Can you help me decide Sir? It would be a big help for me.

Is the ctk 3500 better than 1500? What pedals i can buy for it ? THank you! one of the best youtube reviews... I am waiting to buy it,cant wait.. i want to buy with the 'X' Suport.. So about ctx700 do you recommend more than this one? i mean this one has the pitch bend that is so cool! but you told about the AIX and it also has some buttons to memorize that can be very good for some sounds memorized to repeat too.. could it be better than the pitch bend for choose ? I was between ct s200 and s300,but decided get s300 for more almost 100$ for the sensitive and pitch bend. i wanted s200 for red color but thats ok...

Thanks for the video. I am totally a beginner and I want to buy my first keyboard. the CT-S300 in Amazon Spain is 177,00 €. Not sure If I should go for this or the Yamaha PSR-E363 which would you recommend me?

Hi. Thx for your demo. Is the size of the key the same as the ones on an acoustic piano? Thx.

Hi Jeremy, Please make a video for Midi Commander app set up for casiotone cts 300 for quick tone changes.

Can this be connected to an audio interface with Phantom Power turned on because of a Condenser mic?

WOW! I just want to search cheap keyboard and this one is in the Hit. nice review. Deserved a Sub. Hoping that i can have this too as my MIDI CONTROLLER. CLAAAIMINGGGG HUHU

Very nice.

Are the keys weighted? Also, is this keyboard loud enough small room performance?

In Europe, it costs much more than 130US$ (at least 200$).

Hi Jeremy i hope youll see this. Is there a possible latency if this is being connected to computer for DAW?

In Malaysia, Lazada CT-S300 is selling RM988. Yamaha PSR-E363 is RM1032 , casio ctx700 is RM1150. And now have a "china brand" Digital Piano Flavian S-10 , i think quite famous here too. Selling RM888. haha

Does anyone know if the CT-S300's MIDI function sends velocity/expression info to the DAW?

Hi Jeremy...between this ct-s 300 and Roland Go keys which one that you choose?

Would this be a good first time keyboard for an ABSOLUTE beginner? (cant afford to spend more than $300 and dont have the space for an acoustic one anyway)

Hello I’m from Mexico Does the Casiotone cts300 keyboard has any recording functionality? Thank you.

Today, ran out of this piano on onlineshop in Japan....I wanted this piano😢 It started selling just 3days ago...😭

Hi jeremy, Ur video was very useful but I am a lot confused abt which to choose, between Casio cts 300 and casio ctx700...the thing is that they both have their advantages and it is confusing please help.:-( tq

Hi Jeremy! I'm new to your page and am loving it! Thank you for being so informative! Quick question, I just bought this keyboard and am trying to connect it to MacBook Air which has a usb c port. Any idea what cable I need? Just a regular cable? Is the port of this keyboard also a c? I'm so lost? Thank you in advance! :)

hey great review i really loved what you were playing in the beginning of this video. could you please tell me what type of music that was or what song it was. it sounded like some megaman song.

Hello Jeremy and Thanks for the great reviews! Is this keyboard Casio CT-S300 close enough to be considered piano practice? Or would my time be better spent on something closer to a real piano? I have this one and I really like it, but wondering if I'm actually learning to play the piano.....as this is my goal.

I got the CT-S300 and I'm glad it's not bad at all!

Should I go for this casio s300 brand new or a used casio px 160 , both would be at same price ?

Hello I bought this keyboard after looking at this video but I cannot go to App more and use the chordana app. Setup does not seem to have the option

Hi Thx for this video Is it possible possible to play a piano sound at the right hand and another sound at the left one? Thx and regards

Sir how is the Midi experience with this keyboard?

Can we connect it to the amplifier and then to the external speakers
