After looking at several reviews and product informatiom of various priced keyboards, and wanting to stay in budget , we decided to purchase this one for our son for Christmas. He is 12 and a budding musician, he absolutely LOVES this keyboard. The only downfall is it did not come with it's own AC adapter, which may be common but would have been nice to know to have on hand Christmas morning (it takes a lot of batteries). Other than that it shipped super fast, great packing, good prduct, we are very pleased!

I bought if for my 1 year old and nanny (she's an awesome player) for the rainy days so that TV is not the only thing to do. Love the price cause it allows me not to get angry in case my son breaks it. Hopefully it will last a life time (as everything Yamaha or Casio does, according to my experience so far). Also love the lack of need for an upgrade (that would have been the case with the smaller 37-key one that costs more than 50% of this one).

Note regarding the lack of power adapter: you need one with output 9V, 800mA. It works with a universal one, there's no need to buy the AD-5. I'm reusing one that I bought years ago for speakers. It didn't work out first. Then later I put batteries to test whether the keyboard worked. It did. Then I tried again with the adapter and like magic, it worked. No idea whether putting batteries first was causation or correlation, but it did the trick. You could save [...] by recycling your old adapter.

Also is the 1st time I buy a toy for my kid and I eagerly want to participate. Now I want to learn how to play too! (like a decade or so ago, when I had to quit taking lessons).

This is a great keyboard! I would recommend this if they want to buy a good keyboard.

Solid product for beginner- no thrills and none of the manipulations you can do with other versions. I got this for my daughter because she wanted to keep learning piano but did not like having to sit before the upright in the music room at home. This qas a nice change and she can do some nice background things with it.

Even though they have fast shipping they don't always check their merchandise so buyer beware. Also if you have a defect with the item which you most likely will they will tell you to ship the item back and then tell you to pay a restocking fee which is 20% of the purchase.
