Has four lo-fi drum sounds that can be combined in many different pattern or played with drumsticks. This is the version with built-in loudspeakers so they called this Stereo-Pro!

ELSI MATE EL-670
Wow - this looks nearly as great as the CASIO VL-10. Silver slimline design in a leather case. I love the musical keys!!! It also features an alarm clock and you can program your own alarm melody. Yeah, one of my hottest and cutest machines.

Same machine as the YAMAHA HS-501 but without LCD display and the cool shooting game. A bit boring for my taste, but very hard to find boxed!

HANDYSOUND HS-501
The worlds only toy keyboard with a built in shooting game? Like with Space Invaders you have to shoot little notes. This is the strangest of 3 little games for learning more about notes. Special Thanks to Lars from Norway for additional Box!

CS01 SYNTHESIZER
Sure, this machine is an exception in my collection because it is not a real toy, but it is a real analog synthesizer to learn subtractive synthesis. The sound is incredibly great. No virtual analog synth can rebuild this strong and simple energy.

PT-50
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.

Really hard to play but it has a very unique design and sound. You have to stroll over the pink field to get harp-like sounds. An extra button creates filter-like effekts. Cute.

EXCEL-O-TONE XLT-1
The worst CASIO VL-1 fake ever. These Hongkong Guys have stolen the design, the name and even parts of the box (rainbowcolors). Cheapest plastic and only one headaching sound. Best section: the little display with ultra-small LED's to show the notes. But why stereo loudspeakers? This sounds less than Mono!

MONI
Looks like a 60ies machine but is from the 80ies - because it is from the German Federal Republic - the "other" germany till 1989. Moni is also an average german name.
