Casio Keyboard


Casio SK1 Sampler Keyboard

A home keyboard with a basic sampler that's so small and light it nearly fits in your pocket! Sometimes called the poor man's sampler, the memory clears when turned off but it sampled well enough for you stun your friends with Jingle Bells in burps.

It was designed as a toy rather than serious musical instrument - and it shows - although it will probably be worth a fortune in about 200 years. It's apparently still used by the likes of Fatboy Slim and Blur.
