 "Absolutely love it (can't wait to learn all the functions)" 2009-11-17
By Kam G. (Washington, DC)
I'm an experienced guitar player and a beginner on the keyboard. Can't wait to learn the advanced functions on this thing, but it looks beautiful and sounds great. Not quite the build quality required for gigging (which you might find in a $1,000 keyboard) because it's made out of lightweight plastic, but it has a million different options that you can get creative with.

 "Casio WK3800 keyboard" 2008-02-25
By Gary S. Chong (Jackson, MS USA)
The Casio WK3800 is a fun and very versatile keyboard with good quality onboard speakers. My previous keyboard, which I still have, is an older Yamaha PSR series. The WK3800 gives you a good deal of control and "fine tuning" for each of the preset digital voices/tones (e.g., attack/release, touch response, reverb, vibratto, resonance, octave, pan, equalizer, and other effects, which can be saved as new user tones ... and then mixed (using layer and split) onto the keyboard and saved as an entry in the register. You can monitor/record on several separate tracks of and, later, put them all together for a rich composition playback. The only downside with recording to the separate tracks is that you lose the layer/split functions during recording (a small hassle that I hope the next series of Casio keyboards will rectify). If you would like to have a layered and split recording (four tone settings used), you have to record each of the four tones separately (i.e., record yourself playing your song four times). This limitation of the record function is the only reason I did not give the Casio WK3800 4 stars out of 5, instead of a perfect 5.

 "Casio 76 Key Keyboard" 2010-02-02
By Paula (Illinois)
The keyboard is excellent. Weighted keys. Good sound. So much I can't even list everything. I went thru Casio directly and ordered a power cord. This does not come with it. There should have been a link or something advising this. The power cord was less than $27 including shipping and tax. I read the reviews after the purchase and noticed people had trouble getting the right power cord from Amazon, so I decided to go thru Casio and there was no problem.Casio WK-200 76-Key Personal Keyboard with MP3/Audio Connection and 570 Tones

 "Cheapest 76-key Keyboard, But Not Piano Sized Keys...And Keys Creak" 2010-01-22
By Just a reviewer
I think for those who want to grow into intermediate piano level, this is the cheapest 76-key keyboard you can get apart from actually having an acoustic piano or hammer-action 88-key keyboards. I don't recommend 61-key keyboards unless you just want a toy that limits your repertoire.



Key Size:

I guess hammer action on inexpensive 76-key keyboards are apparently out of the question. So I'll turn my attention to the size of the keys themselves. One thing to keep in mind is that the keys on this keyboard are not piano sized. I measured a span of 5 octaves, and they are almost 1/2 inch shorter than the span of 5 octaves on a piano. But then again, neither does the more professional and more expensive 76-key Yamaha NP30 have piano-sized keys. Additionally, the Yamaha YPT-220 is about 1 inch shorter in its 5 octave span than that of a piano, this WK-200 is a little bit better.



Creaking Keys:

The quality of these Casio keys are not as good as those of Yamaha. I went to four separate stores and played around with these keyboards, and both the WK-200 and the WK-500 exhibited this creaking sound. To get an idea of what I mean, just turn off the keyboard and play something silently. Some keys will have a spongy, clicking sound. I checked out some Yamaha keyboards, and they didn't exhibit the same creaking or to the same extent if they did have a little bit, so I think Yamaha really pays attention to this problem. I would imagine some people won't notice, but for those that do, this might start to bother you after a while. For me, it was almost a relief that I didn't just get a defective one and that most of the lower end Casios have this issue, so I plan to keep it around for a while and sell it once I outgrow it.



Bottom line: If you want to get decent at the piano but can't afford something too expensive, this is a good option. But know that the keys are not piano-sized, and it doesn't have any Hammer Action that mimics the feel of pressing down on piano keys. Also, some keys have a creaky sound, so if you just want the cheapest thing to help you become a piano player, I think this will do. If you have a few hundred more dollars, I would look for greener pastures like the Yamaha NP30, Casio CDP-100, Casio Privia PX-120, or Casio Privia PX-130.

 "As Good As It Gets In This Price Range" 2010-01-20
By Michael (New York, NY)
I have to laugh at the reviewers who are negatively comparing this piano to a professional grand that was used in a studio recording, or even keyboards that are priced in the $500-$1000 range. Get real!!! This is a 76-key instrument with the richest sound you can find for $200. It's more than adequate for a beginner to learn on (emphasis on "more than"!!) and there's no reason you couldn't use this in a semi-pro (or, for all I know, pro) studio environment. A lot of the tones are very lovely. The display is shockingly good for the price: every note you play gets displayed on the screen, both the key location and in its position on the staff. There are excellent built-in lessons for newcomers, endless tones and rhythms to play with, and an array of ins and outs (headphone, mic, MP3, usb to computer for midi connectivity).



Included in the box are an AC adaptor, music holder AND a pair of sheet music books. If there's one thing Casio knows how to do, it's cater to the consumer. How can they not be losing money on this fantastic product?

 "A good starter Keyboard" 2009-10-13
By Dan Petter (Katy, TX United States)
This keyboard has ALOT of features. In fact, you will probably spend alot of time digging through the instruction manual to figure out how to use them all. Once you learn the confusing button layout, this is an awesome keyboard because it is just so DAMN feature packed. It has three way speakers which is good when you input audio from an electronic drumkit or MP3 player.



I own some high end guitars and a high end Roland drumkit, and this doesn't compare to high end equipment. When playing along to my lesson DVD, there is a MASSIVE difference between this keyboard and the tone of Pete Sears' REAL grand piano. There is simply no comparison, but hey, that is probably a 20,000 dollar Piano.

 "Very surprisingly terrific" 2010-01-10
By Macolyte (Baltimore, MD)
I just got this for my 10 yo son for use both as a composing instrument and in a new band that he was part of. I expected, from these reviews and others, to get a beefed-up kids-type keyboard. Boy, was I wrong. This thing is truly amazing; very nice feel to the keys (not a piano, but decent resistance), very sophisticated looking and with a torrent of sound creation features that almost defy learning, no less use. Terrific sound. All in all, more than he or I ever dreamt (or perhaps needed) in a keyboard. He is now been pulled off the computer to play his new keyboard many hours a day. It's really great, and I'm glad I made this choice.



One thing - it is pretty big, and it might be worth buying the carrying bag as well if you plan to transport in anywhere more than once.

 "Excellent Keyboard" 2010-01-09
By E. Mathews (North Port, FL)
I had recently purchased the Casio CTK 5000 which is virtually the same as this model but 61 keys. So I was not in the dark as far as the voices, rhythms and SD card features because they are on both models. Even though I am an amateur keyboard enthusiast I have had Yamaha keyboards in the past and I also have the Casio AP 45 digital piano. I must say that the quality of sound on the CASIO products is equal to Yamaha and for someone just wanting to open the box and start playing, Casio has it beat. If your looking for a keyboard, I highly recommend the Casio WK 500 and wish that I would have gone with this 76 key model when I purchased about a month ago. The feature I like the most is being able to download midi files on the internet and play them on the CASIO. You can search high and low and you won't beat the price at AMAZON. The pricing, shipping and service is fantastic.

 "Great personal keyboard" 2010-01-03
By M. Birch (Methuen, MA United States)
If you want a personal keyboard for home use - practice, or soundtracking or recording, this keyboard will definitely fit the bill. It's a little lightweight, don't think it would hold up to hard gigging, though.

Fantastic selection of built-in sounds, the pianos and strings sounds excellent and there are some great sampled sounds - saxes, drums, etc, and you can also sample your own sounds into the machine. It has USB, headphone and line outs.

76 keys make this more than a toy, and the touch-sensitivity - which uses speed rather that pressure - takes a little getting used to. Built-in recorder, arpregiator; sounds and songs can be saved onto a memory card, too.

One thing that would make it better is if Casio had printed the various function and other button keys in a bright color that could be read easily. Bright overhead light is needed.

 "A Warning about Sam Ash" 2009-12-30
By Greg M. Stoops (Baltimore)
I don't believe that Sam Ash actually carries the Casio Wk-500. I have a strong hunch that they use a low price as a "bate and switch" ploy to lure customers onto their website. Sam Ash advertises the Casio WK-500 for $254 with free shipping, which is about $75 cheaper than Guitar Center. I ordered this item from Sam Ash about a week before Christmas with the expectation that it would arrive a few days late. On Christmas eve, I got a notice in my email telling me that my order had been canceled because the keyboard was no longer in stock. When I went back to their website, I saw that Sam Ash still had the keyboard listed as "in stock". I printed the ad from Sam Ash and took it to Guitar Center. Guitar Center matched the Sam Ash price and even took off the Maryland state tax. I've had the keyboard for two days and I'm very happy with it. The Piano tones are very realistic. I plugged it to my computer with a USB cable and Windows Vista installed the drivers in ten seconds. I've used it as a midi controller for Fruity Loops and Acid Pro 7 and it works perfectly. It came with a power supply as advertised, many other units listed on Amazon do not. I had to use the instruction booklet to figure out some of the advanced functions like recording and lessons, but the keyboard is pretty intuitive and it only took me an hour or two to figure it all out.

I would recommend buying a stand and a sustain pedal to go with this keyboard. If you are an experienced player, which I'm not, the keys will probably feel very light. The action on the keys is not at all like a real piano and they are a bit scaled down in size. I shopped around for a while looking for a good keyboard and this definitely had the most features I could find in any unit made by any manufacturer for under $400.

 "Great Keyboard!" 2010-01-09
By T. Baxter
I just ordered this keyboard for our family to learn how to play the piano. I did a lot of research & while I was nervous about buying without playing it first, I was very happy with the features for the price. Would love if it had weighted keys, but that is a whole other price range that will hopefully come after a few years of playing.



Pros: It was easy to set up! The stand took about 10 minutes to put together and we were playing. It's also very easily adjustable for different heights. I liked that it came with the AC adapter (most keyboards suprisingly do not). Great features & fabulous sound on the grand piano. My kids have not stopped playing it since we opened the box. It came all packaged neatly together with 2 song books that match the songs played by the keyboard. I used to know a few of them by memory & have forgotten, so it'll be a great way to refresh & improve my piano skills. Also like that it has the earphone, mic, sustain pedal & usb connections in the back - not all keyboards have all of these... some miss one or another.



Cons: The earphones that it came with are broken. The right side has no sound. I have to replace them directly through the manufacturer which is a major annoyance. They would be great/comfortable earphones w/ volume control, otherwise.
