This keytar is perfect for home-studio musicians looking for a fun and inspiring way to jam. It can be enjoyed as a standalone instrument with its onboard sounds, or used as a MIDI controller (mini-din) to drive other hardware and software synths. The SHS-500 is also a great choice for kids with a strong interest in music—the built-in JAM function makes it easy to play along with songs, and its lightweight, portable design means it can go anywhere.
