Advantages: its better than a toy one
Disadvantages: tinny sound, not 88 keys, no weighted keys, hard to get technical support

...I bought this keyboard around 7 years ago. I was not happy with from the start. After one month a couple of the keys didnt work. Casio was not helpful on the phone, and after a lot of persisting they promised to pick the piano up and repair it. Seven years later I am still waiting (This happened in Spain where I live).

The lack of weight in keys is probably the worst feature of all. I dont know what possessed me to buy it, but I would be happy if I helped anyone else not to make the same mistake. If you are looking for a digital piano, go for weighted keys, hammeraction if possible, and all 88 keys.... Read review

The 88-key graded keyboard is excellent and feels like a concert grand - if only I could say this about the piano's sound. Don't get me wrong the rhodes and strings etc are very good. It is a shame the piano sound isn't so good, the sustain on the piano sound is very light and sounds terrible. I have never tried the keyboards midi features so I cant comment on them. It has 128 key polophony, I have never heard any voice cut offs even in piano solo. Finally this device is very very well built I... Read review
