When I bought my casio MT-30 mini-keyboard 30 yrs ago, I never considered it a toy. It cost me a whopping $100. To this day I still don't consider it a toy. I have used it on gigs with my trio and played accompaniment with it for my choir and done some comping with it at parties. It doesn't have any rhythms or styles, just a few different sounds, sustain and vibrato. Nobody who ever heard me play it called it a toy.

Today I play an E-60 that costs more than $ 1500 and does just about everything but wipe my ***, yet I have to defend myself against buying a toy?? Who cares. As long as it does the job I need it to do, it becomes a PRO piece as soon as I use it as such and say it is.
