Casio CTK-671 Portable Electronic Keyboard, 61-Note Touch-Sensitive Best Quality


Love this keyboard! The touch sensitivity is easily worth any perceived compromises in sound quality compared to Yamaha or other comparably-priced products. The button layout & functionality is comprehensive without being overwhelming. Manual is good--and on-line. Backlit display is also a plus, as is the midi connectivity & modest recording capability. Sound quality of pianos & organs is especially good. Not sure if that quality would be maintained direct through a p.a., but it is certainly of high enough quality for home recording & use in small clubs. Sounds are very tweakable, and the advanced tones are for the most part immediately useful. Guitar tones are good. Obviously more expression is possible playing an actual guitar, but here again the touch feature helps--if you hit the keys hard, you get a much more dynamic response than from playing lightly. Sustain pedal is very useful for not much money. Back is tapped for two retention bolts for use on a stand, but I would be more comfortable gigging with it in a flight case of some sort. Casio calls this keyboard "high-grade," and that's an accurate assessment--it's much better than most keyboards in the $100-200 price range, and is definitely not a toy but a real, expressive musical instrument.Get more detail about Casio CTK-671 Portable Electronic Keyboard, 61-Note Touch-Sensitive.
