The Casio WK3800 is a fun and very versatile keyboard with good quality onboard speakers. My previous keyboard, which I still have, is an older Yamaha PSR series. The WK3800 gives you a good deal of control and "fine tuning" for each of the preset digital voices/tones (e.g., attack/release, touch response, reverb, vibratto, resonance, octave, pan, equalizer, and other effects, which can be saved as new user tones ... and then mixed (using layer and split) onto the keyboard and saved as an entry in the register. You can monitor/record on several separate tracks of and, later, put them all together for a rich composition playback. The only downside with recording to the separate tracks is that you lose the layer/split functions during recording (a small hassle that I hope the next series of Casio keyboards will rectify). If you would like to have a layered and split recording (four tone settings used), you have to record each of the four tones separately (i.e., record yourself playing your song four times). This limitation of the record function is the only reason I did not give the Casio WK3800 4 stars out of 5, instead of a perfect 5.

I play for a small church with no other musicians. With this keyboard I can add drums, bass and strings automatically. It also has intros and endings that work very nicely. Lots of variety and things I haven't even tried yet. I LOVE this little keyboard. Light and easy to carry. I highly recommend it for players that tend to play a lot of accompaniment chords instead of all melody.

I'm an experienced guitar player and a beginner on the keyboard. Can't wait to learn the advanced functions on this thing, but it looks beautiful and sounds great. Not quite the build quality required for gigging (which you might find in a $1,000 keyboard) because it's made out of lightweight plastic, but it has a million different options that you can get creative with.

Excellent keyboard. With 800 sounds I'll never run out of things to play. Only down point is that with all of the sounds there is very little FX sounds.
