Casio Keyboards

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Ah, the melodious tunes of a cheap, affordable synthesizer

Casio keyboards are used to make most of the music for the Homestar Runner cartoons. They also make appearances in some of the toons.

Casio SK-1

The Casio SK-1 in particular was the tool used to craft some of homestarrunner.com's most recognizable tunes. It can even be said that younger generations now attribute the SK-1's lo-fi drum beats to Homestar Runner, unaware of their origin.

• A Jumping Jack Contest intro credits
• Eggs (toon)
