Casio CT-S1 Touch Sensitive Keyboard
Casio is passionate about bringing the joys of music-making to as many people as possible. This is the goal that drives the development of Casiotone digital keyboards suited to various specific needs and situations. With Casiotone keyboards, Casio is constantly pioneering new concepts and always considerate of users’ increasingly diverse lifestyles.
The new CT-S1 is designed for adult users interested in incorporating music-making into their daily lives. With its minimalist design layout, made up of just the row of keys, built-in speakers and a limited selection of buttons, the unit is sure to blend in with users’ modes of living. Thanks to its slim profile, the CT-S1 is convenient for casual play at any time, in any place. Meanwhile, it still boasts the richly expressive Casio AiX Sound Source to ensure high-quality tone as well as a newly developed acoustic design that delivers impressively powerful sound output. The CT-S1 also connects to smartphones, tablets and other devices using the separately sold Bluetooth® adapter to create an even bigger world of musical enjoyment — from using the unit as a wireless speaker to playing along with favourite songs. The dedicated Chordana Play app also enables the user to change the tempo or key of songs being played, as well as to display music scores and piano roll notation, allowing every individual to practice at their own pace.
Main Features of the CT-S1
Familiar Casiotone design to blend in smoothly with user lifestyles
Featuring a design layout pared down to the essentials — the row of keys, built-in speakers and a minimal selection of buttons — the look of the CT-S1 expresses the innate beauty of the keyboard as an instrument. The mixed-colour fabric used for the speaker net material gives an appearance informed by interior design sensibilities. The model is offered in three colour variations — white, black and red — in order to ensure a great fit for any room interior.
Beautiful, powerful tones delivered by the AiX Sound Source and new acoustic design
Created by carefully modelling the acoustic and vintage instruments used in many classic songs, 61 built-in tones come to life through AiX Sound Source. In addition to the 10 ADVANCED TONES crafted using the best of Casio technology, which each offer new possibilities in musical expression, the CT-S1 includes a special selection of 12 CASIO CLASSIC TONES presets, selected from among the many distinctive digital instruments Casio has developed over the years. In addition, the efficient spatial design delivers powerful sound brimming with a presence no one would expect from such a slim instrument by using an original horizontal bass reflex speaker system design.
Designed for beginners of all ages, as well as creative musicians that enjoy great, high-quality sounds including vintage patches from our classic models. The CT-S1 is available in Black, Red and White.

A musical instrument should be intuitive and inspire you to want to play, wherever you may be. This design philosophy is at the heart of the CT-S1 and it’s what sets it apart from other keyboards.
With 61 full-size, touch-sensitive textured keys, you’ll be enjoying your style of music anytime, anywhere.
Compact Size, Incredible Sound
Using Casio’s advanced AiX sound technology, the CT-S1 boasts an expressive grand piano tone that sounds like an instrument twice its size (not to mention twice the price).
Newly developed Bass Reflex speakers and Surround Sound mode mean a richer, more dynamic tone that complements the excellent sound quality. The CT-S1 is an entry-level keyboard that you’ll enjoy playing and listening to over and over again.
Hassle-Free Connections. Every Time.

Learn with Chordana Play
Compatible with Android and iOS devices, Chordana Play connects via USB or optional Bluetooth dongle and teaches you to play in a fun, visual way. Select from a library of over 50 traditional songs or import any MIDI file you choose. Follow the music score or piano roll notation at your own pace, with the app guiding you through each step.
Interactive Online Learning Included.
The CT-S1 comes with a range of features to help you get the best from learning the keyboard at home. Your purchase includes FREE unlimited access to the Casio Music Academy.

Stylish and Easy to Use Anywhere
Available in three colours, the compact CT-S1 fits into any space. The intuitive controls allow quick access to any of the 61 tones and you can capture your inspiration quickly with the built-in Song Recorder.
Weighing just 4.5kg, the CT-S1 can be powered from 6 AA batteries, which is perfect for making music on the move.
Get Creative with Vintage Tones.
If you love creating music with vintage Electric Pianos, Synths and iconic sounds from pop music history, there is lots to like in the CT-S1.
New Advanced Tones use studio-grade digital effects to add amp simulation, phaser and more without the need for editing or time-consuming programming. Just select and play!
Go Wireless with Bluetooth
For the first time in an entry-level keyboard, the optional WU-BT10 Bluetooth dongle allows you to add Bluetooth Audio and Bluetooth MIDI capabilities to your CT-S1.
