great deal, September 26, 2008
This review is from: Casio 76-Key Electronic Keyboard with Adaptor and Stand
I received this keyboard yesterday and spent the whole night playing it. Even though the product description does not say the model number, as you would be able to recognize from the picture, it is WK-110 from Casio. I owned a 61 key keyboard before, but this being 76 just takes the whole experience to another level. The touch sensitive keys are very responsive and the responsiveness can also be adjusted through the settings.
Besides great sound, USB MIDI connectivity, the on-keyboard piano lessons are incredible. Never thought I would use such an option but there are 100 songs stored in the keyboard that shows you and TELLS you (with voice) which fingers to use and what notes to press.. left and right hands individually. It really is amazing.
Having the stand and the adapter included in the price is just a great value. It arrived in three days.. and I was already playing it after 15 minutes of unpacking.

Wonderful Purchase, February 16, 2009
This review is from: Casio 76-Key Electronic Keyboard with Adaptor and Stand
I got this for my son to start piano lessons, and was told by the teacher to get a 76 key keyboard with touch-sensitive keys, and this was the cheapest one with the best reviews. And I agree with those reviews - this is a great value keyboard.
It is a nice large keyboard with nice wide keys - feels like a piano, not at all like a mini-one or a toy. My son did his practice, then I took over an reclaimed much of my own childhood lessons in one evening! I like the three-step lesson - they are not hard to setup. And the thing overall isn't hard to get going. You just plug it in and you have piano sound. Haven't tried all the rhythms and things, but it feels like a good quality item, not cheap and plastic.
The stand is solid, but the keyboard itself isn't heavy to lug around, which is good for us.
Much recommended.

A year later, and this keyboard has held up extremely well. A while back my son's piano teacher commented that she normally can tell which students have a keyboard at home instead of a piano, but she couldn't tell in my son's case. I think it's because the keys have a nice piano-like feel to them. We have carried this thing around a lot, and it has withstood that well. I still highly recommend.

Fun and Functional, February 4, 2009
This review is from: Casio 76-Key Electronic Keyboard with Adaptor and Stand
I bought this in store at Target, same price as online. I didn't want to wait for shipping to play with my new toy. It came with the adaptor and a stand that was easy to put together though rather ugly and hard to tuck away in corners. But it does its job of holding the keyboard off the floor.
The lessons are a pretty good function. Step one shows you where to hit and with what fingers though you can hit the same key over and over and it'll play the song for you. Step two requires you to hit the correct key and step three wants you to play in time with the actual song. My only complaint about the lesson songs is that songs are often in a ridiculous electronic harpsicord tune or something like metal string banjo but you can change it (Thank God).
I bought this with my boyfriend so we could take a class together and I wanted to have 76 keys so it would be more like an actual piano. Apparently, 68 keys is more of an artificial sound replicator and 76 keys is more like a replacement piano...That's what Yamaha made it sound like. Snobs.
It sounds nice and can get pretty loud. And for it to have 76 touch sensitive keys at this price is pretty good. Even if we both are terrible failures at the piano, it only cost $200 and if we eventually learn to play we bought ourselves a decent keyboard. That's about as good as life gets.
