Hey, so I've been stealing my daughter's Disney Princess 3 octave 10 dollar synth to jam out lines on the shitter. But she keeps finding it, and taking it back to her room.
In the interest of familial harmony, can anyone recommend a good bathroom synth?
Looking for something with batteries, speakers and a tone I could get just a little down with. I'm thinking sk-1 but they're so well known...

Are you talking about a synthesizer or a keyboard?

Don't know the difference. Just a little keyboard I guess. I only need a few voices, but it would be nice if it could do a little lead voice, and or a little bass voice. Not simultaneously, mind you, just be able to.

Trust me when I say I've put in A LOT of time producing in the crapper on a laptop and fruity. But I don't wanna daw. I want a musical instrument. Something I can switch on, and bam! Start working that F minor.

Isn't it funny that both the word 'head' and 'can' are euphemisms for the toilet. They would be headcanheadcans. Or, headheadcancans.

There's also these Casio keyboards:

Those are really the only ones I can seem to find for sale, I'm sure if you tried you could find some older ones for rather cheap. A lot of people seem to use those old Casio mini keyboards for circuit bending.

Given the unavailability of flat surfaces in the crapper, that keyboard sounds like a nightmare.
I once was auditioning a drummer, and me and my guitarist had a pretty stereotypical potbrownie experience. My bass guitar neck started doing exactly this:
So with my guitarist passing out and waking up intermittently every 3 minutes or so, my bass guitar less than gently weeping, and my other guitarist showing up an hour late in tears because he just broke up with his girlfriend, the drummer decided not to work with us. I still can't figure out why.
Anyway... think I'll be in casio land. Any used casios like the sk-1 that kinda got a little mojo?

The roll-up piano thing was more of a joke really. I personally can't see any real use in this thing. I mean I guess it's really portable and all but if I'm going to get a small piano I myswell pick up a solid mini keyboard so I can use it no matter where I'm at. I actually have a hamper right next to my toilet so I could actually use that since the lid is about the same size as that thing, but I still probably wouldn't be able to play on it. Not having any action on the keys would just be to weird. I tried a buttonless keyboard my friend bought for his computer and it was a nightmare just trying to type out simple sentences so I can just imagine something like this.
The casio link seems pretty solid though if you ask me. Yea it's not the most amazing thing in the world but if it's just something to mess around with 35 to 40 dollars isn't to unreasonable. It looks like it could probably produce some decent sound to. It's a far cry from the one I had when I was a kid. I think the only thing it had on it was a power button and a volume knob and the sound it produced was more like a bells ringing than an actual keyboard sound.
