Touch-sensitive keys provide better finger control. The harder you strike the key, the louder the sound will be. The K558 also has 100 rhythm patterns, instrument tones, and accompaniment songs. All the auto accompaniment songs follow the Casio chord and fingered-chord systems, so you can generate background music at any skill-level.

The backlit LCD display ensures bright, optimal readability. You will easily see your tone, rhythm, song, volume, melody, and tempo selections via the easy-to-read LCD display. The display's onscreen music staff and finger icons show the notes and chords that you play. This Casio keyboard is compatible with most MIDI applications.

4.0 out of 5 stars CTK-558 - great keyboard!, November 18, 2000

This is a wonderful keyboard with a great sound and ease-of-use. However, if I had to purchase it today, I'd go for either CTK-551 or Casio LK-30 learning system. I think the pitch bend wheel and touch response which are extras on CTK-558 may not be that important to beginners. However, the follow-me light system in LK-30 might be worth it.

4.0 out of 5 stars WARNING about the picure, November 24, 2000

The picture displayed with the CASIO CTK 558 appears to be the more expensive WK1600. The CTKs are fine entry level keyboars with 66 keys. The WKs are a little more expensive and have a wider (72+ key) keyboard. Don't get fooled by the picture.
