Casio CDP-S110 review

A slim 88-key board with Casio’s Scaled Hammer Action II and, unusually at this price, the SP-3 pedal, music rest and power adapter already in the box. Ten sounds rather than hundreds — the money went into the keys.

What it amounts to The pragmatic first piano: weighted keys, the pedal in the box, and a depth that lets it live on a desk rather than in the way.

Casio’s CDP line exists to answer one question — how little space and money does a properly weighted 88-key piano need? The CDP-S110 is 99 mm (3.90 in) deep and 10.5 kg (23.1 lb), which is closer to a controller than to a console piano, and it still carries Scaled Hammer Action II across the full keyboard.

The ten sounds are the trade. An arranger at this price will list hundreds; Casio lists ten and puts the budget into the action and the cabinet. If you want accompaniment styles and a screen, this is the wrong instrument. If you want to practice scales on keys that push back, it is a very direct answer.

What makes it unusually complete is the box: the SP-3 sustain pedal, the music rest and the power adapter are all supplied. Three things that are commonly sold separately, and each of which turns a working keyboard into a frustrating one when it is missing.

Casio also lists a six-AA battery option. That is rare on a hammer-action instrument and worth knowing about if the piano has to move between rooms.

In its favor, and its limits

Strengths

  • Hammer action across all 88 keys, which is the line that separates a piano from a keyboard
  • Sustain pedal, music rest and power adapter are included — three purchases most rivals leave to you
  • 99 mm (3.90 in) deep and 10.5 kg (23.1 lb), so it fits a desk and can be moved by one person
  • Runs on six AA batteries as well as the mains — one of two pianos here that can be played away from a socket

Compromises

  • Ten sounds is a deliberate choice, and it will feel thin if you expected an arranger
  • Not offered on the US or UK stores at the time of writing

The questions players ask

Is the SP-3 pedal a proper sustain pedal?

It is a footswitch supplied by Casio for this instrument, so polarity is correct out of the box — the failure that makes a keyboard appear to sustain permanently does not arise here.

Can it run without mains power?

Casio lists six AA batteries as an alternative supply. They are not included, and the listing does not state a runtime.

Our score

7.9/ 10

The pragmatic first piano: weighted keys, the pedal in the box, and a depth that lets it live on a desk rather than in the way.
