synth for a talented boy

Post by amatsov » Sat Oct 22, 2011 10:46 pm

hi!

what do you think what would be the best first synthesizer for a 6 year old boy?
I know that he could use one with a drum section and a built in speaker.
Casio CZ-230 would be perfect but they are so pricey...
any thoughts?

thanks!

A Korg Monotribe might be fun for him. Pretty simple to operate, battery powered, drums, speaker, ribbon strip to control the synth, lots of knobs that only do one thing each.
