It all starts with the sound and feel, and thanks to the carefully sampled grand piano sound and scaled hammer action, the Casio CDP-100 Digital Piano gives you both. The HL Sound Source and 88-key, naturally scaled hammer action with three levels of touch sensitivity give you a realistic and satisfying piano experience in a portable, affordable digital piano. It has five sounds including stereo grand piano, 32-note polyphony, eight digital effects, five demo songs, layer and tranpose function, speaker system, MIDI I/O, plus headphone and sustain pedal jacks. Comes with sustain pedal.

I wanted to learn piano, but didn't want to spend a great deal of money on something that may not stick with me. After a full week of researching on and off, I realized the cdp100 is the best deal out there (88 keys, weighted, etc). I am immensely satisfied with my purchase and would absolutely recommend this to others.
I take classes at my University and I actually prefer this Casio to the more expensive Yamahas in our piano lab. |
Can't beat it

This keyboard is excellent especially at this price point.
It does have very basic features (no metronome, no recorder). It comes with 5 voices. The firt piano voice is much better than any digital piano that I've tried before buying (even much more expensive yamaha's. The keys feel exactly like a grand piano. This product is very sturdy and there is nothing cheap about it.
A real tour de force by Casio. This type of quality at this price should just be encouraged. |
amazing buy!

| This electronic piano is one of the best purchases I've ever made! It has the feel and sound of a real piano, perfect for learning, or writing music. The sustain pedal gives it a lovely sound. |
Don't Buy It unless it's selling for $299!

The CDP-100 is a great practice piano for anyone who is looking for a temporary-somewhat portable piano to practice on.
The sound is decent, I really like the headphone jack feature which allows me to plug in my headphones when I practice. With the headphones on the notes sound crisp and sharp, however relying on just the built-in speakers the piano sounds a little dull and could be louder. The foot pedal isn't that great, I found myself holding it down the entire time to hear the effect; but it's a minor issue. The weighted-hammer keys feel just like real piano, really great.
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.
However, Don't make the mistake I made in buying the CDP-100 for $399! After I bought this, guitar center had a holiday special and was selling the CDP-100 for $299, so check there first! |

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." Would it have killed them to put a couple more useable outs on this thing for an extra 15 cents?
Other than that, the speakers suck, but the board is pretty nice and it's light weight. I gave it 4 stars because of the price, which is actually a good deal. They could have gone the extra inch and made this thing legit, but it seems they've stopped just short on purpose... Guess they want to live up to the Casio (cheap, plastic junk) name. |
