Advantages: simple, easy to use Disadvantages: outdated
This is the Casio FX 83MS Scientific Calculator, for typical use at high school level. This is what you need to keep up in maths at school at GCSE level and beyond. The extra functions of a scientific calculator are necessary for this level of work and are still useful even if you just want to use a calculator simply.
Anyway, that applies for any scientific calculator, now what about this one? This is a Casio which is a good sign straight off. Casio is one of the leading brands in the scientific calculator market keeping one step ahead of the rest at all times. Now the recent 'natural display' releases from leading firms are a definite improvement on these originals as they show fractions in the form they are written amongst other things but this is still good enough.

Advantages: Good features and playability for the money Disadvantages: No pitch bend, aftertouch, low polyphony
I have been playing the keyboard for years, since I was five. However most of the keyboards I owned were toy like. They might have had lots of features but they all felt plasticy and felt really bad to play compared to a piano. The keys were expressionless and the sound, although it has improved in many keyboard models over the years, has never been close to the real thing. In total I must have owned ten keyboards but they have mostly been aimed at the lower end of the market. Now I thought it was time I upgraded again, but to get the 88 key fully weighted digital piano I dreamed of I was expecting to pay £1000. I was wrong.
I came across a new set of digital pianos made by the notorious toy piano company, Casio. Now I have owned two Casio keyboards in my time and whilst they are full of features, the sound sets and quality was ...
