Casio CTK-3500 61-Key Touch Sensitive Portable Keyboard with Power Supply,Black

I use this product to play music!

My (adult) son tells me this is a good quality organ with a good sound; he just plays for fun and is a grade 7 standard on the piano.Only downsides - it did not come with an adaptor and music does not stand up easily, a groove would have solved this.

Sound quality not bad, everything what you need for the beginners but could be a bit chipper. My advice to decrease a price.

I bought a Casio CTK-2500 from M H Technologies via Amazon and it arrived yesterday. I'm a complete beginner and already disappointed with this keyboard - and I haven't even turned it on yet! The reason is that this keyboard will operate on 6 batteries or via a mains adapter. However no adapter is included? Whats more, there is no indication which is the correct adapter to buy. I don't think I've ever bought a piece of equipment that requires a mains adapter that doesn't have it included. Is this even legal?? I would ask Amazon to remove M H Technologies from its list of suppliers. A further problem is that this keyboard is squarely aimed at beginners and yet Casio can't be bothered to include a booklet with a few simple tunes and instructions to help beginners to get started. I really want to send this keyboard back to Amazon. My advice - don't buy this unit.

Quality of the product is very good along with its tones and its touch sensitive keys,Morover it comes with a pitchbend wheel which comes with high end keyboards only

Excelente producto, excelente servicio. Llegó un día antes de lo previsto, estaba muy bien empaquetado, dhl lleva muy bien. Es lo mejor que puedes comprar por este precio. Soy totalmente nuevo en la música pero me he informado hasta el cansancio para hacer una buena compra y de verdad que recomiendo este Casio ctk 3500. Si no tienes oportunidad vale el 2550 que es el que en principio pensé comprar, pero de verdad, mejor espera y ahorra porque los 600 de diferencia valen cada centavo.La sensibilidad de teclas vale muchísimo para aprender, ya he dicho que de música no sé, pero incluso yo me doy cuenta de que la sensibilidad esta muy bien trabajada y se nota, el banco de canciones también es de mucha ayuda para los que somos novatos, y el USB para midi es un plus que pienso comenzar a usar.No tenía idea. De verdad lo recomiendo, quizá lo único mejor es un piano electrónico completo, de 88 teclas, pero obviamente es de otra gama, mucha más plata.A mi me vale perfecto, me reta la pereza el aprender por mi cuenta, pero este instrumento es una gozada.Me alienta a continuar y cada día voy mejor.Los materiales son de calidad, tiene un diseño hermoso que de lejos pareciera de otra gama, de mayor precio.Los peros: es verdad que no suena muy alto, pero para mi es lo de menos, para un grupo pequeño va bien. Puedes enchufarlo a una bocina con un auxiliar común, si vas a dar conciertos XD. Y es lo único negativo, pero para mi es muy muy poco, y no es malo en si.IMPORTANTE: Fíjate comprar directo a Amazon, a menudo tienen un precio mejor dentro de la misma página y no te sucede que envíen algo que no es.Para acabar, si todo va bien, mi próximo instrumento musical será un piano electrónico Casio vía Amazon. Las tiendas de música y departamentales venden este modelo ctk 3500 entre $700 y $1200 más caro. Y las políticas de devolución y garantía dan para pensarla.No me preguntan eso pero que feliz estoy con esta pequeña belleza...

Fantastic keyboard for a newbie or adult just getting into it. I purchased this keyboard based on the quality of the sound samples it came with - the 80s synth sounds were what I was looking for specifically - and the touch sensitive keyboard. I also liked its MIDI capability should I want to record anything with it. Build quality is pretty high - there is a bit of flex to the keys section, but I tend to hammer on it harder than I should, and as an amateur I haven't felt short changed by not having a full 88 keys. Sound quality is really great - and should be, digital technology is cheap enough now to support super high quality sound samples even in inexpensive devices - but I was really impressed by the built in speakers, which are usually not great on entry level keyboards. These sound fantastic. I haven't used the "dance music" feature at all as I found it a bit annoying, but children may get a few hours of entertainment out of it. I also really liked the fact that the LCD display shows you graphically what notes you are playing, both on a little keyboard diagram and in standard notation - great learning tool, well done Casio!*If anyone from Casio is listening, the only improvements I would like to see made would be onboard multitrack recording capability (super simple and cheap to implement nowadays) and a virtual FM synth model with user adjusted parameters.*

Keyboard is good. Best for beginners I would say. Has multiple instruments to practice on. I would recommend this for any beginner. I used it for almost 3 weeks now.Amazon delivery is pathetic though. It promises one day delivery before ordering. After order, it says 2 days delivery which was not at all honored. Finally delivered after 4 days.

Was looking for a cheap portable piano for my dorm, and this is a great purchase so far for someone who hasn't touched one since he was a child. It's (relatively) firmly built, has decent (though not amazing) sound quality and speakers, and is pretty light at 6-7 pounds.There's plenty of tones to work with, though it's not by any means all inclusive (and I tend to stick with piano for the most part anyway). On top of that, there's a pitch bender (which I use occasionally), 4 step touch sensitivity, a metronome (which is slightly loud and which I never use), and a number of songs banked to start learning (which I also never use). The volume control has a noticeable gap in between a couple of increments (that is to say, it goes from slightly too soft to slightly too loud), and the display is good enough, though the notes/keys pressed are a little hard to read without a light directly over it.It does also need occasional wiping with a wet cloth/paper towel (like every 5 times I use it or so), and a couple of keys can be a bit squeaky depending on the angle at which I mash on them, but like I said, for CDN170 (plus 40 for a stand and 22 for a sustain pedal), this is a great practice/composing instrument.
