Sound: This keyboard have every sound you will ever use. The piano sounds are very good and there's plenty to choose from. Great organs,guitars,leads and brass. Strings are ok alone but better when layered with other sounds. Nice clean sound. You won't find a better sounding board at this price. Great for gospel or jazz. I've had people tell me it sounded great when I take it out to events. Some of them can't believe a casio could sound this good. Feature: This workstation is feature packed just like the high dollar yamaha's or rolands. 76 keys which is better than the 61 key ones. Nicely fits in my trunk. Nice drum kits. Transpose and octave buttons right on the panel instead of scrolling through the menu. It has auto resume feature that remenbers your settings when you power off. Nice display with pro quality look. The keys are nonweighted and easy on the hands but for some that's used to playing an acoustic piano, they may complain about the feel. It has a very good sequencer and you can create any sound you want. Split and layer buttons at your fingertips. Ease of Use: The manual is ok. You will have to use it a great deal until you get the hang of program new sounds or making changes. But if you are a plug & play player, just pick the catogory on the panel and dial in your sound and jam. I'm mostly on my own but when I play with my friend's band, I blend right in. It's built for speed. Quality: It's black plastic. I wouldn't want to drop it on the floor. It weights 17 pounds making it easy to carry. Get a good case for it if you gig a lot on the road. I use mine at church. It seens like it will hold up for awhile and I will gig without a back up. The buttons are ok but won't take a lot of abuse. Of course a lot of keyboards can't either. Value: This keyboard is the best bang for your buck period. A huge upgrade from the cheap casio's you buy at department stores. You won't be disappointed with it. Some people will think "it's a casio; I can't be seen on stage with this", but they will be wrong. I proudly carry mine everywhere. Why pay for a more expensive workstation that might not sound any better unless you have money to burn. Manufacturer Support: Never dealt with casio. I have a warranty but I hope I don't have to use it. The Wow Factor: When I first saw it online, I was stunned. Finally a pro quality workstation keyboard at a great price. And it's a casio! Great look and feel. Overall: I'm very satisfied with this keyboard. For my playing style,I doubt I'll ever get tired of using it. I rate it in the same class with the yamaha, korg, and roland workstations but without the added expense. If it was lost or stolen, I would buy another one in a heartbeat.

Sound: I Have a small Yamaha keyboard that I can get the best sounds out of, but I needed a larger keyboard that would give me better sound and more alternatives. When I recieved the Casio I immediateley took it out of the box and tried it and it really sounded like a small toy. I tried it several times to see if I could possibly use it and the more I played it, the more disappoited I was with it. I believe th only way I could have possibly used it would b to buy an expensive speaker which I decided I would rather take the loss on shipping and purchase a more expensive keyboard. Feature: I iked the idea that you can split the keyboard and arrange different sounds from each. Ease of Use: You have to study the book carefully to get the best usage of the sounds and it wouldn't be very easy switching sounds hil playing. Quality: It is made well but as I stated above, it's not easy to switch sounds while playing. Value: NO!!! It would be cheaper to buy a small Yamaha as you could get a lot better sond out of the Yamaha than the Casio. Some of the Yamaha keyboards were selling for a lot less than the Casio and you could get a lot better sound out of any of the Yamaha keyboards. Manufacturer Support: I have never dealt with the Casio copany itself, I dealt only with the ompany I purchased it from. The Wow Factor: It's a good looking keyboard, just don't turn it on. Overall: I am no longer the owner of this keyboard. I kept it for a fw days nd took the loss on the shipping just to get rid of it.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.
