Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I love this keyboard, have had it for just over a month and enjoy it a lot. We bought it for home use. It's our first electronic keyboard so I cannot compare it to others.
There are many useful and entertaining features such as the large selection of 570 tones (instruments), many of which sound quite authentic, plus you can use two at a time if you want. The metronome is helpful and has some different settings such as sounding with or without a bell on the first beat of each measure. There are so many other features that I doubt I'll use many of them. One of the main reasons I selected this keyboard is because it has 76 keys, giving it a wider range than most keyboards.
Being able to use headphones with a keyboard gives a family a lot of freedom from noise if you want to play something very loud, avoid waking others, or let a child practice at times where the practicing might disturb others.
On the down side, I wish the keyboard had a USB port. But the real reason for giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that I think it may have a defect. On day 31 of owning it, one of the keys started to make a clicking sound that I find disruptive and annoying when trying to concentrate on reading sheet music. Within a few days, two other keys started to behave the same. When very slowly and gently depressing the keys that click, I can feel resistance. I hope the problem doesn't spread to other keys. I called Casio and they said I have to pay shipping to and from their repair shop for them to look at it; as the keyboard is large and heavy, this would cost quite a lot. The place I bought it (Best Buy) said that they only cover the keyboard for 30 days and would not make an exception for 31 days. Fortunately, when using the headphones, the clicking noise is not audible.
