5.0 out of 5 stars Casio CTK-4000
I'm not a professional, but I've been playing music for close to 20 years, and I'm very picky about sound and build quality of the electronics and instruments I buy. I don't find the CTK-4000 to be "flimsy", as one reviewer stated. It's very well made, and it's perfectly suited to "bedroom" playing and practicing. Don't let the price fool you, it's not a toy...

2.0 out of 5 stars Wears out within a few months.
If you want to bang keys for a few days and then put this into the corner of your darkest closet this keyboard is probably fine. But, if you were planning on using this as a tool to learn to play a keyboard I would advise against it. After less than 4 months (Less than 40 hours total use) the keys are all starting to squeak and bend oddly.

If you're like me...

If you're like me (and want something that is at least reliable and feels right even though you aren't a pro) I'd advise spending a bit more to get something that isn't so flimsy, as this is just annoying and I'll have to go replace it now. I have no idea what better products exist (I'm not a pro, as I stated), but I will seek one out.

I don't find the CTK-4000 to be "flimsy", as one reviewer stated. It's very well made, and it's perfectly suited to "bedroom" playing and practicing. Don't let the price fool you, it's not a toy.

The digital sounds are actually very good, especially the organ, piano, and harpsichord. There are enough others to cover most styles. The built-in speakers are plenty loud, and have a very full rich sound. This is what sold me, after playing twenty different digital keyboards in the store.

The training features and the onscreen helps are very nice. You see the staff with the notes you are playing, and there are many songs included.

The keys are not weighted, but neither are real harpsichord keys, so it's fine with me.
Overall it's a small, light, attractive keyboard, with good sounds and playability, and I did not play anything in the sub $300 price range that I thought was better. Spending more will get you more voices, sounds, and extra features like a pitch wheel, but not really a better instrument.

5.0 out of 5 stars Casion Keyboard for my Musician, February 14, 2010

I could not afford any of the Phantom keyboards for my 27 year old musician husband. He produces beats and I wanted to surprise him for Christmas since his previous keyboard broke plus I had a budget. I did not want some play school keyboard. So I did research and comparisons. And although it is not the heavy duty super star artist equipment, it gets the job done. And he was really happy on Christmas!

I'm a first time user of keyboards...I'm taking keyboard lessons at a local music shop. I am absolutely fascinated with this thing, and it's really fun to learn. I think this would be fantastic for any first learner.

2.0 out of 5 stars Look Elsewhere, June 21, 2010

This review is from: Casio CTK-4000 ersonal Keyboard, 61-Key, with MP3 Connection, 10 Second Sampling, and Digital Effects (Electronics)
As another reviewer said, on paper it sounds like a decent low-end keyboard, but it's not even adequate in that regard. One of the biggest drawbacks is that none of your stored settings or music are saved. Once you unplug the keyboard they're all lost, and going through all the steps each time to set it up is tedious and time consuming (and requires learning a lot of very non-intuitive controls). Apart from that, it's very limited with what you can do with it, cheaply constructed and poor sounding. I can still use it for some things, and I hope to use it as a midi controller, but for the most part, it's a waste of money. I'd strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

3.0 out of 5 stars WHERE IS THE AC POWER ADAPTER?, June 1, 2009

I WISH THAT THIS KEYBOARD WOULD HAVE COME WITH ITS AC POWER ADAPTER, SO THAT MY SON COULD HAVE START PRACTICING HIS PIANO LESSON. IT IS A SHAME THAT YOU HAVE TO PURCHASE ONE SEPARATELY NOW, I GUESS THEY MAKE MORE MONEY THAT WAY.....GREED. IT'S BEEN MORE THAN A MONTH NOW I COULD NOT FIND ONE IN MY LOCAL STORE.
