"This is one of the coolest pieces of gear my dad ( original owner ) had! This is a super rare Electrocomp EML-500, only 300 were ever made ( compared to the EML-1* series where 1000 were made ) and rumor has it there's far less still in existence. I don't know how to gauge "perfect working condition" in these old synths, but I do know it powers on and I saw it played within the past few years.

It could use a little cleanup but is overall in nice condition with one major flaw. One of the slider top pegs has broken off ( shown in photos ) The tops are a little plastic cap that goes over a plastic peg, and the peg snapped off some time ago. This could be a really easy repair for someone who is handy with epoxy, as the two pieces fit clean together and the small plastic peg could be removed from the cap and glued back to the other piece. Beyond that, some of the markings have started to wear, there's a little rub of the steel finish in a spot or too, and the wood has some marks on the back ( also shown ). Remainder of wood is actually nice with only minor flaws. If refurbished, this would truly be a show piece."

NAMM Show Report "Casiotone unique features"

Published on Jan 18, 2020


With Rich Formidoni.

"In 1980, Casio made music creation available to everyone, everywhere with the very first Casiotone portable keyboard. The CT-201 was the first electronic keyboard with full-size keys that anyone could afford. It launched a legacy of giving musicians of any age, budget, or skill level the innovations that help them sound their best.

Now, nearly 40 years later, Casio proudly presents the next generation of Casiotone keyboards. Casiotone is the perfect first step, the perfect gift, and the perfect way to have fun making music.

The ultra-compact CT-S200, CT-S300 and LK-S250 let you make music wherever and whenever you want. Just pop in six AA batteries, grab the built-in carrying handle and take your inspiration to go. *Each model includes power supply and music rest.

Explore a variety of great sounding Tones and accompaniment Rhythms with 61 full-size keys, an easy-to-read LCD display and intuitive controls. Use the “My Setup” function to quickly get to your favorite sounds.

Dance Music Mode lets you easily create and remix EDM tracks. Select a style, and use the keys to trigger drum loops, basslines, synth parts, effects, transitions and more.

Use the built-in speakers to share with friends, or plug in headphones for quiet play at any time. The 1/8” audio input lets you play along with music from your favorite device.

The CT-S300 adds touch responsive keys and a pitch bend wheel for added expression.

The LK-S250 features touch responsive keys with Casio’s Key Lighting System, making learning your favorite songs easier than ever. With plenty of built-in songs and a voice-guided Step-Up Lesson system, you’ll be sounding great in no time. The LK-S250 also includes a microphone input, letting you add your voice to the mix.
