Home Keyboards ⇝ Casio ⇝ Casio PT-87

The PT-87 contains six sounds: violin, celesta, organ, trumpet, harpsichord, clarinet, piano, and flute. It can play songs from Casio ROM packs.

It takes 5 AA batteries or a 7.5 volt power adapter (casio AD-1) and lacks an audio output. It's easy to add an audio output if you're familiar with soldering. You can add a line out connection by soldering an audio out jack to the red and blue wires leading from the tone generation section to the amplifier section. This will result in a line-level audio output without interfering with the built-in speaker.
