We are selling this cool and vintage Casio SK-5 sampling keyboard in great working order and in good cosmetical condition for its age with some traces of use!

Made in Japan in 1987! All keys, buttons, sliders and functions work great! Cosmetically there are small signs of use, light scratches etc., but nothing serious.

A piece of modern music history in very good cosmetical condition for its age.

Keyboard is clean inside and out, was tested and operates on 5 AA batteries or a 7.5V DC adaptor: batteries or power supply are not included in the sale. We recommend using it with batteries because all compatible power supplies are always a bit noisy.

This classic Casio SK-5 is a really cool little sampler from the 80's that's a LOT of fun to play. It's got a built-in microphone to record samples and is quick and easy to use.

The sampling function on this keyboard is pretty advanced. Lots of amazing sounds to be had!

These old Casios are also great for circuit-bending. Everything inside looks original and untouched, so it would be great for modding if you'd want to go that route.

This gem has been used by artists like Fatboy Slim, Beck, Aphex Twin, Autechre, Portishead, Bloodhound Gang, Nine Inch Nails, Incubus and Blur!
