The piano has always been one of my favorite instruments. While I never formally learned to play, I did teach myself a few songs to play, as I was already versed as a musician playing the saxophone for decades.
While I haven’t picked up my woodwind or sat behind the 88 keys in years, I still have a strong love of music, all types. While I’m not a grandparent just yet, that day will approach soon, and I want my grandchild to carry on the love and appreciation of music for the next generation in my family. With the Casiotone Series LK-S450, it will be easy for me to hone my skills, learn a few new ones and carry on that passion with my daughter and future grandchildren.More About Casio
Casio was founded by the four Kashio brothers: Tadao, Toshio, Kazuo, and Yukio. Led by the second eldest, Toshio, the four brothers developed the 14-A, the world’s first compact all-electric calculator, and established Casio Computer Co., Ltd. in 1957. Each brother brought his unique specialty and strength: Tadao in finance, Toshio in development, Kazuo in sales, and Yukio in production. Taking on a specific role and working closely to complement each other, the brothers grew the new company together.

Since my Casiotone Series LK-S450 arrived, I’ve not been able to stop smiling. It has rekindled my love of playing, given me the desire to learn new songs and hone those classics I played so many years ago. It has also sparked interest in my daughter who is also learning to play, as the guided keys make it easy for even the most novice of players a chance to learn the beautiful art of music. The best part of making music a part of our lives is the precious memories I have had the chance to share with my daughter and we can now make our own magical memories for future generations in our family.
