ELECTRON GX.2
Wow, this is the biggest mini organ. Works only with the enclosed loudspeaker, so the box is much bigger than the organ. Has a wonderful kicking rhythm section but the organ sound itself is the average squarewave sound. Special thanks to Hiromichi from Tokyo!!!

MICOM ORGAN
One of the best shaped organs, i have ever seen. And this thing is incredible small. But the sound is not worth to mention - best thing is the so called rhythm section which is a simple triggered sine sound.

My god, this is a dream. The loudspeaker is surrounded by a reverb spring, which produces a mighty and scaring cathedral-sound. I think, there is no other organ in the world with such a feature. And what a design. Many Thanks to Bruno from Switzerland!

TRIMTONE EV-5TS
Incredibly great design by incredibly great manufacturer BAMBINO - they also made some cool electronic games. Solid Plastic, very good keys and a deep warm sound, produced by an unbelievably big loudspeaker. This series was also released in a different colour as Symphonic Organ by EMIX/TOMY.

Holy Miniorgan. This is maybe the most popular toy keyboard ever! Unbelievable design and sound. How many people really understood the so-called ADSR function? There also exists an incredibly rare red version, released in France by LIWACO.

VL-10
Aaaaaah, the VL-10. This is what made CASIO the best company in the 80ies world. smooth design and State-of-the-Art technology. Has only 3 very similar sounds (one sound with different envelopes) but a 100-step sequencer and the classical VL-1 rhythms (but they sound very thin). It also features 2 loudspeakers at front and back - one for the melody, one for the rhythm. Nothing but great. One of my favourites. And incredible rare, I can tell you... it took me 3 years to find one boxed!

VL-80
Hey, does anybody in the world know about this little freaky machine? This is the one and only calculator with a “Vibrato” switch. And look at the keyboardlike keys. With a shift key you can play the “halfnotes”. Has a built in sequencer - so this is maybe the smallest programmable keyboard of the world. Special Thanks to Alfakom from Denmark!

PT-7
Incredibly great. Just watch the design. I don't know what's the idea behind, but it looks so sophisticated. Maybe the CASIO engineers were on acid? The keys are a bit hard to play but they offer you 8-note polyphony. The rhythm section is superb - warm and deep sounds. Oooh I love it.

VL-5
The biggest keyboard in the VL series with 4 note polyphony and some special features. There is a barcode reader enclosed but it only read prepared CASIO-barcodes - so you cannot turn the barcodes from your cornflakes or toiletpaper into weird music. Pretty sad!

Second best machine from the PT-series. A cool silver sequel to the very similar white PT-30. Warm and great rhythm sounds and some great rhythm/chord pattern too. Plays ROM Cards - and CASIO made many of them with stored arrangements.

Same architecture as the CASIO PT-1 but with a built-in radio. It is also the smaller brother of the CASIO CK-200 Boom Box keyboard. Smart design and sophisticated color selection. Only for intellectual people.

LITE 'N LEARN
This was my only keyboard I had as a child. It took me 20 and 2 years to find this cheap trash again. I never thought that I would see this one again, because this is so cheap & undesireable. The very first organ with LED lights. My most beloved organ, because of the great Christmas memories from 1980.
