Casio Keyboards
From Homestar Runner Wiki
From a Club Aquatica Interview:
DAN: The Cheat's playing a Casio in the Puppet thing. Is that what you play?
MATT CHAPMAN: Yeah, that's where all of those cheesy tunes on the site come from. We have a stack of five old Casios and almost all the music on the site comes from those.
Casio keyboards, particularly of the Casiotone line, are used to make most of the music for the Homestar Runner cartoons. They also make appearances in some of the toons.
