So, I just listened to the CT-s200 and for the price point, it’s a solid buy.
However, if you want something even more compact and in a lower price range, take a look at the yamaha pss series. They are compact, the sound is comparable and often better than the Casiotone in my opinion, they have midi out and they are cheaper.
Another alternative would be the Yamaha Reface series. While they are pricier if bought new, you might be able to get a used one for half the price. They also offer a range of sounds but are focused on a specific type of instrument. Instead of offering hundreds of sounds you‘re not going to use anyway, you get to shape your sounds by tweaking a couple of knobs and the sound is very close to the originals. They have an organ (YC), a synth (CS), an FM-synth (the DX, which I wouldn’t use as a beginner but if you know what you’re doing it can give you almost all the sounds a keyboard has), electric piano (CP, it plays rhodes and wurlitzer)












Completely understand!
