] bucks! Even at 99 I'd have to say for the price it is a a good buy

I like all the different tones you can choose from

If you are a beginner and want a few songs to play along with or rhythms to improvise to, this keyboard will do the trick

Barely Adequate Keyboard for Beginners or Children

It's OK for young kids, but could use some improvement

61-Key Digital Keyboard





The positives:

* Lots of songs, tones and rhythms (rhythmic patterns), and a piano bank, essentially a group of pre-recorded pieces using the piano sound

* Fairly long battery life (takes 6 AA batteries or a 9V Adapter, included here)

* Shuts off automatically after a few minutes

* Lightweight

* Somewhat sturdy

* Includes USB General MIDI function in order to use it as a MIDI controller with a computer (with music notation software such as Finale or Sibelius, for example)

* Metronome function



The negatives:

* Songs not alphabetized on list printed on keyboard, so finding songs takes longer than it should

Rating 2



* Somewhat worthless, overly complex "Music Information System" information on the front screen (including a keyboard diagram showing which keys you struck - is that really necessary?)

* Keys not weighted, so if does not really feel like a piano, but you get what you pay for

* No velocity sensitivity (loud and soft)

* No native Apple Macintosh OSX support for USB General MIDI (see below)

* No way to prevent the volume slider from being pushed all the way up all the time, so if a children are playing this and they figure out how to adjust the volume, there's nothing you can do other than to keep reminding them to keep the volume at a low level



Unlike a previous reviewer, I didn't encounter any keys out of tune, but the piano sounds (let alone the most of the others) hark back to the 1980s in sound quality

Regarding the lack of support for Apple Macintosh OSX, you can find an Apple Macintosh OSX MIDI driver for ALL Casio keyboards here:

Now, it's been ages since I have had a keybaord or piano around the house

You get what you pay for...

I wanted to get myself back into the swing of things again so I thought I would low-ball it on the price and just get something to get the creative juices flowing again

61-Key Digital Keyboard

Well, you get what you paid for

The CTK-720 arrived today perfectly fine (sans a few nasty dings in the box, the unit was unscathed)

2008-06-27

I set it up, hooked it up to my own speaker system to make sure it would have the chance to produce a nice clean sound

Although advertised to work just fine on Windows Vista, that is misleading to say the least

Wrongly advertised

It comes with two sets of software that the publishers finally admitted will not work on Vista

25-note, synth-action keyboard

They do insist that the keyboard itself will work on Vista, so if you can find and buy some other programs that will run on Vista, it might work

Rating 1

No, they didn't know which software to recommend

2008-04-05

And the instructions on how to use the keyboard were on the non-working software, so even if you do, you would have to figure out on your own how to use it on the new software

Casio 76 Key Electronic Keyboard with Adaptor and Stand

Model:WK-110STAD

I got this for my son to start piano lessons, and was told by the teacher to get a 76 key keyboard with touch-sensitive keys, and this was the cheapest one with the best reviews

Wonderful Purchase

And I agree with those reviews - this is a great value keyboard

76-Key Digital Keyboard





It is a nice large keyboard with nice wide keys - feels like a piano, not at all like a mini-one or a toy

Rating 5

My son did his practice, then I took over an reclaimed much of my own childhood lessons in one evening! I like the three-step lesson - they are not hard to setup

2009-02-17

And the thing overall isn't hard to get going

I bought this in store at Target, same price as online

Fun and Functional

I didn't want to wait for shipping to play with my new toy

76-Key Digital Keyboard

It came with the adaptor and a stand that was easy to put together though rather ugly and hard to tuck away in corners

Rating 4

But it does its job of holding the keyboard off the floor

2009-02-05





The lessons are a pretty good function

I like how the only two other reviews for this product are by reviewers who are only associated with items that are "Offered by" some related store

Nice fake reviews.

Obviously fake and/or payed-off reviews

76-Key Digital Keyboard

Hopefully they are accurate in their deceit

I received this keyboard yesterday and spent the whole night playing it

great deal

Even though the product description does not say the model number, as you would be able to recognize from the picture, it is WK-110 from Casio

76-Key Digital Keyboard

I owned a 61 key keyboard before, but this being 76 just takes the whole experience to another level

Rating 5

The touch sensitive keys are very responsive and the responsiveness can also be adjusted through the settings

2008-09-26





Besides great sound, USB MIDI connectivity, the on-keyboard piano lessons are incredible

Just got this keyboard for my daughter's piano lessons - wow, didn't expect such a great product in this price range!! it's really impressive - the Grand Piano sounds like a real piano, the keys are touch sensitive - playing it gives you a realistic piano experience! Another amazing thing is that this keyboard is 76 keys (as compared to standard 66 keys), and it is *really big*, giving you the full scale ranges as if you've had a real piano in front of you! I simply cannot believe the value we've got with purchasing this product for just $199 - also comes with free stand and the power adapter

Amazing value!!! Great product!!!

Great job Target \ Amazon! Thank you!

Manufacturer:Yamaha

Model:PSRE313

While this item did arrive on time, it did not arrive in the condition which was ordered and there were several parts of it missing

DO NOT BUY FROM MUSIC BAY-rude and unprofessional

There were several problems:

1)The item arrived in packaging which was clearly previously opened and re-sealed, thus NOT new

Backlit LCD screen

The box had dents all over it and even a hole, and the tape on each corner had been removed and replaced

Rating 1

The styrofoam meant to protect the sides of the item did not even fit on the item properly

2009-02-19

The notestand was in a plastic bag that had holes in it and thus was also not new-appearing

Since there were no reviews yet, I thought I'd put in my two cents

From someone new to pianos

Mind you, this is my first musical instrument, so I'm not experienced with this sort of product

However, I've had a friend who is an excellent pianist check it out

I played piano on my family's old baby grand piano all my life and then I went off to college where I had no piano

Almost like the real thing!

I finally asked for one for my birthday and this is what my family chose for me

Recorder for composing and play

The sound is GREAT (the 5 main piano tones are very nice, I love 002), the keyboards have a very nice weight to them that makes them feel like a real piano (not something cheap and plasticy)

Rating 5





Some accessories I'd recommend for any buyers:



Headphones-- This keyboard can go really loud and if you're around others, you may want to consider headphones so you can enjoy all the sound :) If you use regular stereo-mini phones (like iPod jacks), you will need a Stereo Mini Jack (1/8") to Stereo Standard Plug (1/4")

2009-04-15





Pedal-- This is an M-Audio keyboard so it works with just about any pedal but I really love this one:

Bought from Costco, adapter included

Poor sound

The sound is pretty bad, even when compared to a 5-yr old Yamaha I'm retiring

Recorder for composing and play

Didn't have a chance to figure out if I can load new tones

wife didn't like it at all

After reading many reviews I decided upon this product

Really delivers

It is more than I expected and the family is enjoying it

Recorder for composing and play

The only bad thing is it does not come with an electrical adaptor so unless you have a ton of huge batteries hanging around you won't be able to play it right away so I recommend that get the adaptor at the same time

The sound is fantastic!!

2009-01-11

The Casio WK200 Personal Keyboard offers great tones, sampling, and lessons in one great keyboard!This WK200 is amazing! Casio is showing how much they can fit in to this keyboard while offering at a price that makes it impossible to turn down

Recorder for composing and play

The New AHL* sound source(*Acoustic & Highly-compressed Large-waveform)All built-in tones, including piano and acoustic instrument tones, now sound better than ever before! 48-tone maximum polyphony provides plenty of margin to minimize the chance of notes being dropped when tones are layered and when playing with Auto Accompaniment.
