"Casio CTK 5000"

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars

I`ve been very pleased with Casio keyboards after having low expectations before trying them, like most people but now I consider them better than Yamaha in it's prince range. I may look for a new keyboard in 5 or 6 years to keep technologically updated. In a future even if I could afford a Roland or Korg I`d consider a Casio again, excellent value. As new feature I`d add a `switch next registry setup` function to an additional assignable pedal. As well as taking off the lessons and silly incorporated songs. And putting back the synth and organ draw bar functions from older Casios.
Sound
Acoustic sounds are pretty real, leads and pads are great, better yet is layering them and make up your own sounds. Internal speakers are loud and clear with no noise, and so does when fully amplified into a PA.
Quality
Action has been enhanced from previews generation Casios (ie WK 3300 and such). It is deep and almost as hard as a "semi weighted" or "light weighted", I am used to an acoustic upright piano and I love it. It still makes a little noise when pressed but not as much as the previews generation.
The Wow Factor
Plain black with a large blue screen, very elegant

"Great samples for a cheap keyboard"

Overall: 3.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Sound
670 decent quality samples with very few weak sounds.
Features
A bit clunky in the menu access and assign dept., but with hours of experience it comes easier. On board rhythms and effects are less impressive, but abundant. You could actually do a decent film soundtrack using this unit.
Ease of Use
Time consuming access and programming. Manual is complete but does not communicate well.
Quality
For the money, this is tough to beat. Better than anything below $600.
Value
Best value on the market for personal keys below $600
