Full Description

Natural Feel Keyboard with Enhanced Digital Features

The Casio LK-240 keyboard gives you AHL sounds that sound better than ever. The 48 max polyphony means beginners have plenty of margin to play without notes dropping out when layered. The keyboard itself is easy to play and closely resembles an acoustic piano thanks to the touch response which means the player can add subtle nuances by varying the pressure applied to the keys. Add to this digital effects such as a great reverb for depth and richness and the LK-240 has all you need to play great sounding music.

Intuitive Lesson Functions

Casio's Step Up Lesson feature is ideal for beginners wanted to master full songs and see real progress. The technique breaks songs up into shorter phrases providing the support early players need to develop. Simply listen to the song, watch the screen or lightning keys and then try and play the tune from memory. By mastering each little bit in this way, the full song won't be far behind!

The keyboard has some nice little features to give more help and support to learners including metronome, displaying scores for each performance, calling out figure numbers if it senses you are having problems, lesson pat select meaning you can choose whether to practice left, right or both hands and 110 song bank tunes including 20 exercise phrases with a song book also included.

Make Music More Fun!

The Casio LK240 keyboard has a host of entertainment features designed to make music more fun than ever before. Experiment by sampling a sound from a microphone and then play the sound on your keyboard or use them to compose your own music. Play the sample in different notes or add effects such as reverb and vibrato. If you have a MP3 or CD player you can connect it using the keyboard's AUDIO IN jack and play along with your favourite tunes or just listen using the keyboards speakers. Or plug in a mic for your very own karaoke night with friends!
