There is a very strong argument to be made that the electric piano is the best instrument to learn first. Whether you dream of playing the violin like Andre Rieu, or thumping the tubs like Travis Barker, you will be better for it if you understand how the piano works.

There is something really convenient about a miniature keyboard. It is great for learners, younger kids who don’t quite have the arm span or aren't seasoned musos on the go. But there is something irreplaceable about a full 88-note keyboard. It lets you go places sonically that the smaller versions simply cannot reach. The full gamut of the human experience is able to be explored on 88 tiny pieces of wood or plastic.

The Culmination of Over 40 Years of Development in the Spirit of Kashio Toshio
“Acquiring the skill of playing a musical instrument is an achievement of immense value. The difficulty of this challenge makes it worthwhile and provides the joy in it. However, for those who cannot manage to pick up that skill, it’s worth having an instrument able to bridge that divide. In my view, making the enjoyment of music available to more people in that way will go a long way toward increasing the overall number of musically involved people.”

There are many reasons why they have become the smarter choice, but here are ..read more
