This review is from: Casio CTK-4000 Personal Keyboard, 61-Key, with MP3 Connection, 10 Second Sampling, and Digital EffectsI'm not a professional, but I've been playing music for close to 20 years, and I'm very picky about sound and build quality of the electronics and instruments I buy. I don't find the CTK-4000 to be "flimsy", as one reviewer stated. It's very well made, and it's perfectly suited to "bedroom" playing and practicing. Don't let the price fool you, it's not a toy.The digital sounds are actually very good, especially the organ, piano, and harpsichord. There are enough others to cover most styles. The built-in speakers are plenty loud, and have a very full rich sound. This is what sold me, after playing twenty different digital keyboards in the store.The training features and the onscreen helps are very nice. You see the staff with the notes you are playing, and there are many songs included.The keys are not weighted, but neither are real harpsichord keys, so it's fine with me.Overall it's a small, light, attractive keyboard, with good sounds and playability, and I did not play anything in the sub $300 price range that I thought was better. Spending more will get you more voices, sounds, and extra features like a pitch wheel, but not really a better instrument....
This review is from: Casio CTK-4000 Personal Keyboard, 61-Key, with MP3 Connection, 10 Second Sampling, and Digital EffectsIf you want to bang keys for a few days and then put this into the corner of your darkest closet this keyboard is probably fine. But, if you were planning on using this as a tool to learn to play a keyboard I would advise against it. After less than 4 months (Less than 40 hours total use) the keys are all starting to squeak and bend oddly.If you're like me (and want something that is at least reliable and feels right even though you aren't a pro) I'd advise spending a bit more to get something that isn't so flimsy, as this is just annoying and I'll have to go replace it now. I have no idea what better products exist (I'm not a pro, as I stated), but I will seek one out....
This review is from: Casio CTK-4000 Personal Keyboard, 61-Key, with MP3 Connection, 10 Second Sampling, and Digital EffectsIt was a gift for my young daughters 7&9. They love it. Plus it hooks up to my Mac so they can learn to play. Very prompt delivery and excellent service through amazon. Only complaint i have is that the power adapter was not included...
