Casio CTK-1100 – Used 61-Key Portable Keyboard – SKU
The CTK-1100’s Song Bank holds 100 built-in pieces, and you can switch the left-hand or right-hand part off at the press of a button — so a student plays one hand while the keyboard covers the other, then swaps. It’s a 61-key portable keyboard with 100 tones, 100 rhythms with auto accompaniment, an LCD display and built-in speakers.
This is a sensible first keyboard for a beginner or a young student, particularly if you’re not ready to commit to a full digital piano yet. Full-size keys mean the hand positions a student learns here carry straight over to a real piano. It’s used, so call or text us at 814-371-5666 to check condition and find out exactly what comes with it.
Key Features
100-Song Practice Bank
Mute either hand’s part and play along with the other, so a student can build each hand separately before putting them together.
61 Full-Size Keys
Five octaves of standard-width keys, so finger spacing learned here transfers directly to an acoustic piano.
100 Built-In Tones
Pianos, organs, strings, brass and more, selected by number on the keypad and shown on the display.
100 Rhythms with Auto Accompaniment
Play a chord with your left hand and the keyboard builds a backing band around it, using either Casio Chord or standard Fingered chords.
Battery or AC Power
Runs from batteries when there’s no outlet nearby, and shuts itself off automatically to save power when left idle.
Headphone Jack
Plugging in headphones cuts the speakers, so practice can happen at any hour without filling the house.
How to Practice One Hand at a Time
- Press the Song Bank button and enter the two-digit number of the piece you want to work on. The name appears on the display.
- Turn off the part you want to play yourself using the Right On/Off button for the melody or the Left On/Off button for the accompaniment. The keyboard keeps playing the other hand.
- Slow the tempo down before you start. Getting it right slowly is what builds the muscle memory; speed comes on its own afterward.
- Use the rewind and pause buttons to loop the bar that keeps tripping you up, then switch hands and repeat the whole process.
Care Tip: Take the batteries out any time the keyboard is going to sit unused for more than a few weeks. Leaking alkaline cells corrode the battery contacts, and that quiet bit of damage kills more portable keyboards than anything a player actually does at the keys.
