I will be shortly needing an 88 key weighted piano. This Casio has brought me back into piano playing though in splendid style.
Sound
The Casio WK Series boards are a giant leap forward in technology. The excellent inbuilt speaker system combined with Casio's ZPI sound source means that when you play Grand Piano on DSP setting you get quite an incredible sound and depth of tone over the 6 octaves.
Features
Features? You don't have enough space here! The organ electronic tonewheel features will satisfy anyone who does not have access to (or the money to buy) a Hammond. It lacks Hammond's depth and ultimate tone, but it comes amazingly close. The Keyboard action lets the instrument down. It's noisy and does not have the precise feel of Yamahas even from the 1990s. But don't let this put you off. You get used to it.
Quality
The quality is in keeping with the price. It is a very complex product and reliability issues have been a factor, hence the numbers of re-conditioned WK's around. If you are going to gig with it then you can't just throw it into the back of a van with amps., guitar cases and drumkits. It simply would not survive. Used with care it would be just fine for restaurant, wedding piano etc. use.
Value
I appreciate I'm reviewing on a USA site here. The prices you can get these for are amazing. Even in 'rip-off' Britain they are a huge bang for your buck!
Manufacturer Support
Have had no reason to contact Casio UK.
The Wow Factor
At this price it's simply a must for any keyboard player. You'll still love your Yamaha, Roland or whatever, but you'll have a respect for the Casio brand that you've not had for many years.

I'm 100% statisfied with this product. Enough said.
Sound
Excellent quality sound that sometimes You can't tell the difference between the wk3700 or a Roland if heard without looking.
Features
Amazing for piano players, muscians, producers etc. Can be used as a midi controller, synthesizer, a realistic organ, or simply a 76-key piano. The mixer, effects, synths are all very useful for any producer.
Ease of Use
Easy for any musician with basic knowledge of playing the keyboards or the piano.
Quality
This keyboard isn't just a musical instument it actually is a charming piece of art that can be used for decoration. It's the prettiest keyboard I've ever seen. It's simply a pleasure for viewing! would never take it out of my room. never.
Value
One word = AMAZING!
Manufacturer Support
I haven't dealt with the company that made the product yet. But the product page on the company website is great and useful. You can go on there and download a bunch of wave files and other stuff to upload them to your keyboard. It's cool!

I'll be looking in a year Love the sounds and value Hate the manual and website
Sound
For the money-this keyboard outstrips anything in it's class and clases above. I have tried the Rolands, the yamahas, and the sounds are great-I run it in tandem with my Korg N1R and the sounds are very similar.
Features
Just got the board, the adapter and case....all I needed.
Quality
I don't know- I've had it a week.....
Value
Unbelievable...
Manufacturer Support
The website is as much use as a broken clock-absolutely useless for me. The midi songs available are a joke. Direct support- great- immediate response....I'd say 8 1/2.
The Wow Factor
As long as it holds up-I'll probably buy another one. Where else can you find a 76 key controller with sounds at this price?

I have the lower model, WK3200, but, except for the mod wheel and line outs, it's the same keyboard. I got this used for a great price, and it's become my main keyboard. I've never had a keyboard that did everything, and this comes amazing close. The on-board sounds are fantastic. The synthesizer is extremely useful and easy to use. The drawbar organs...well...WOW!! You can load samples onto it. The sequencer is fairly easy to use. The built-in speakers sound great! I don't really have any complaints. The WK3x00 line Casio had blows away anything they've done since in quality and features, including the new WK7500 (that's cool, but feels plasticy, like it's going to break, whenever I try it out in the music store). Casio out-did themselves with this keyboard, and, sadly, we may never see one like it again.
