This review is from: Casio WK3300AD 76 Key Electronic Keyboard with Power SupplyI have owned a number of Casio and Yamaha keyboards since 1984. However, until the WK series came along, I considered Casio instruments for beginners and people who like to have fun on the keyboard but don't take their music seriously. The sound quality of Casio keyboards has improved immensely in 23 years, not only in the instrument voices, but also in the auto-accompaniment tracks. I gave this instrument four stars because although much improved, the piano isn't as true as my Yamaha 88-note instrument. Nor does the WK-3300 have even a resemblance of a piano feel. However, I bought this keyboard because of the drawbar organ sounds. It has some really nice organ sounds across the board, as well as some really neat synth sounds if New Age is your style. I use this Casio for fun stuff and the Yamaha for more serious work. The bottom line is, if you are strictly a classical music pianist, perhaps this instrument isn't for you. You might want more than 76 keys and more of a weighted-key feel when you're playing piano. But if these things don't matter much to you, this Casio may surprise you and give you a lot of enjoyment. As far as the mixer and the SD card saving features, I haven't done anything with these to comment on them. I enjoy this Casio for making music and occasionally recording from it....
This review is from: Casio WK3300AD 76 Key Electronic Keyboard with Power SupplyI wanted to buy a new keyboard for home use only, just to have a fun, so it did not make a lot of sense to buy something expensive. I also wanted something nice and with 76 keys because on 61-key keyboard is difficult to play with both hands and 88-keys are way too much (I never used the whole range when played on piano). Therefore I had to choose between Yamaha DGX220 and Casio WK3300. WK3800 did not make any sense, esp. floppy drive which was already obsolete many years ago and otherwise it is not any different from WK3300, but costs $100 more. DGX220 (aka YPG220) has a much nicer keyboard feeling and overall quality of buttons and is higher. But downside is it is essentially piano that also has capability to play synthesized sounds. WK3300 is more synth and organ than piano (piano is so-so esp. how keys feel) and you can change sound like in real synth even though you have to go through menu. Sound quality of WK3300 is amazing for home use. Keyboard is not so great but much better than on cheap keyboards. Of course you can play piano if you want, but if you are more focused on piano I would recommend at least DGX220 if not real 88-key with hammer action....
This review is from: Casio WK3300AD 76 Key Electronic Keyboard with Power SupplyI got this keyboard about a month ago - paid $299 for it and could not be happier. I am not an accomplished keyboard player and have wanted a nice, affordable keyboard that I could learn on and grow with over time - I think this is it!It has features galore - many more than I will need right now, but lots here to let me expand as I learn more. I spent a lot of time "shopping" before going with this one and have no regrets about my purchase. If I had any complaint - it is that it does not come with a stand or a cover but these are minor issues.Great value - got for it....
