Casio
Casio synthesiser
The company Casio is mainly known for its products in the field of pocket calculators and wrist watches. As a manufacturer of keyboard instruments, synthesizers, or electric pianos, Casio is not so familiar to many people, or almost unknown.
Casio started building keyboards and synthesizers in the 1980s. The competition from Yamaha and Roland, the two market heavyweights, was of course overwhelming. However, the Casio synthesizers of the early years stood out because of their sound generation, which was different from other manufacturers at the time, because Casio brought the first completely digital synthesizer onto the market with the CZ-101. Even today, Casio synthesizers have their enthusiasts, but the trade in the instruments is small. Anyone who owns a Casio synthesiser will rarely have a reason to give it away or sell it.
Service and spare parts
Support for the keyboard instruments of the early years has long since been discontinued by Casio. Accordingly, it is difficult to obtain spare parts. We have therefore included Casio synthesizers in our range, and as far as possible, we offer suitable spare parts for Casio synthesizers in our online shop. Where possible, our spare parts are OEM spare parts. This means that we obtain the spare parts from the exact same supplier from whom Casio obtained its components or assemblies at the time. However, this is usually only possible if these components are still being produced today. If the production of certain components or assemblies has been discontinued, we can very often offer an equivalent or even better replacement.
However, there are also spare parts for which it does not make sense to offer the components from back then. For example, in the case of obsolete LCD displays, it makes much more sense to fall back on current Display-technology. Of course, we have checked such spare parts for full compatibility and ensured through thorough testing in our own specialist workshop that the new display assemblies are really suitable as replacements. The suitability for use depends on many different factors, which must not cause any malfunctions in interaction with the other components.
In each case, we have carried out a test installation on a suitable instrument to ensure the proper functioning of a new component, or an entire assembly.
Repairs
The test installation is a normal procedure in our specialist workshop, which we carry out on every new component, and on every new assembly that we offer as a spare part. This is the only way we can guarantee the high quality standard of our offered spare parts. You are welcome to deliver your equipment directly for repair, or send it in with a transport service provider of your choice. Our qualified workshop staff will take care of your instrument and restore it to the state of the art. After consultation with you, an LCD display or a new OLED display will be installed. We are also happy to take over the calibration of older instruments after the installation of the spare parts. Please make an appointment with our specialist workshop.
In certain cases, a repair can also be carried out on your premises. However, this service is limited to customers within North Rhine-Westphalia.
