Almost like the real thing! April 15, 2009 Piano Man (Boston, MA USA) 22 out of 24 found this review helpful
I played piano on my family's old baby grand piano all my life and then I went off to college where I had no piano. I finally asked for one for my birthday and this is what my family chose for me. The sound is GREAT (the 5 main piano tones are very nice, I love 002), the keyboards have a very nice weight to them that makes them feel like a real piano (not something cheap and plasticy).
Some accessories I'd recommend for any buyers:
Headphones-- This keyboard can go really loud and if you're around others, you may want to consider headphones so you can enjoy all the sound :) If you use regular stereo-mini phones (like iPod jacks), you will need a Stereo Mini Jack (1/8") to Stereo Standard Plug (1/4").
Pedal-- This is an M-Audio keyboard so it works with just about any pedal but I really love this one:

It has a very realistic feel to it; much better than those cheap plastic ones that you get from the manufacturer
Over all a great keyboard, I couldn't be happier!
Really delivers January 11, 2009 V. Sokol (Freezing Cleveland Ohio) 11 out of 12 found this review helpful
After reading many reviews I decided upon this product. It is more than I expected and the family is enjoying it. The only bad thing is it does not come with an electrical adaptor so unless you have a ton of huge batteries hanging around you won't be able to play it right away so I recommend that get the adaptor at the same time.
The sound is fantastic!!
Great for beginner pianists November 17, 2009 S. Olson (Atlanta, GA) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
My kids are using this key board for piano lessons and have been using it for over 6 months. It sounds great and the keys feel like real piano keys. It is everything it claims to be and for the price it has exceeded our expectations.
As Good As It Gets In This Price Range January 20, 2010 Michael (New York, NY) 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have to laugh at the reviewers who are negatively comparing this piano to a professional grand that was used in a studio recording, or even keyboards that are priced in the $500-$1000 range. Get real!!! This is a 76-key instrument with the richest sound you can find for $200. It's more than adequate for a beginner to learn on (emphasis on "more than"!!) and there's no reason you couldn't use this in a semi-pro (or, for all I know, pro) studio environment. A lot of the tones are very lovely. The display is shockingly good for the price: every note you play gets displayed on the screen, both the key location and in its position on the staff. There are excellent built-in lessons for newcomers, endless tones and rhythms to play with, and an array of ins and outs (headphone, mic, MP3, usb to computer for midi connectivity).
Included in the box are an AC adaptor, music holder AND a pair of sheet music books. If there's one thing Casio knows how to do, it's cater to the consumer. How can they not be losing money on this fantastic product?
couldn't be happier February 14, 2010 N. Moore This keyboard is great. The speakers sound great and are plenty loud enough. Most of the time i leave it at half way. It's very light but kind of big. which isn't really a problem, it's a 76 key after all. the only problem i have with it is that it does not save your settings. using the function key will show you a lot of settings to change, it reverts back to default at each power up. so i have to go in every time i turn it on and change a few things. but it sounds great, it feels great, it has a lot of songs and instruments. for $200 i could not be happier.
