Casio LK-30

I love this keyboard! It's so easy to use. All you have to do is turn it on, find the song or tone you want and type in the number. Plus, it's easy to switch tones in the middle of a song.

This keyboard has 100 tones, 100 built in songs, and 100 rhythms. The keys light up so you can learn the 100 songs easily. I got it for Christmas when I was 18. It was all set up and ready to go so all I had to do was turn it on and follow the keys. I was playing We Wish You a Merry Christmas with now piano background at all!!
You can't expand upon this keyboard which I don't really like, but I've seen no need to since it has everything y ou could want. There are no MIDI capabilities, but I wasn't looking for any. It's easy to carry around, it only weighs ten pounds.

I love the instruments! The piano sounds exactly like a piano. In fact, it sounds more like a piano than our old out of tune piano. The violins are absolutely lovely. The guitars, the trumpets, the flutes, the clarinets (you name it this keyboard has it) all sound exceptionally good. The Casio LK-30 plays every kind of music you can think of. It has polka, classical, rock, disco...it's also great for kids. It's very light to the touch which I was grateful for. On our piano you practically have to bang the keys to get any good sound out. The notes are sustained nicely for the most part.

I would definitely depend on this keyboard. As long as you use the adapter or have a fresh batteries just in case. I've never had a problem. I don't play professionally, I just like to play at home by myself, but I would use it for Church or choral concerts. I don't think it has enough features to play a rock concert with no backup.

I've never had to deal with customer support. That's how easy and reliable this keyboard is.

If it were lost or stolen I would definitely buy it again. Well maybe not the LK-30 because it'sa little outdated with the songs. I would by the LK-35 which is the 2001 model. It's exactly the same except the songs vary a bit. I've had this keyboard for about two years now. I've taken it to college with me. I play fairly well for someone who was taught by a keyboard! I'd say I was upper-intermediate. I can use both hands thanks to this keyboard and I can read music because of some of the books included. It would be nice if this keyboard had a few more tones. The 100 that they've given you are absolutely fabulous, but if they had more I would be so happy. I'm pretty sure I've played the keyboard at least three times a week for the past two years, and I've never gotten bored with it. I love it so much. It really did teach me to play.

FIRST OFF IM 17 AND I WANTED TO BUY A CHEAP KEYBOARD TO LEARN TO PLAY ON SO I WENT TO WAL-MART AND PURCHASED THE CASIO LK-30 WHICH HAS A LIGHT KEY LEARNING SYSTEM SO I FIGURE WHY NOT ITS CHEAP ITS GOT A 3-STEP LEARNING CLASS ON IT SO BOUGHT IT. IT IS VERY EASY TO USE ALL OF THE SOUNDS ARE ON A NUMBERED MENU SO ITS EASY TO PICK A SOUND. IT SOUNDS REALLY GOOD FOR WHAT I PAID FOR IT I NEVER EVEN TOUGHED THE MANUAL SO I DONT KNOW HOW HELPFUL IT IS BUT YOU DONT NEED IT

IT HAS 100 TONES, RHYTHES ,SONGS PRESETED IN IT. THERE ARE NO MIDI CAPABILITIES AND CANT BE UP GRADED THERE IS NO SEQUENCER
BUT OVERALL DECENT FEATURES FOR WHAT I PAID

THE INSTRUMENTS ARE NOT VERY CLOSE TO HOW THEY SHOULD SOUND BUT THERE NOT BAD IT WORKS WELL WITH ALL TYPES OF MUSIC I GUESS THE EFFECTS ARE NOT BAD FOR A STARTING KEYBOARD IT WOULD NOT BE MY CHOSE OF A KEYBOARD TO BUY UNLESS YOU WANT TO LEARN TO PLAY CAUSE IT HAS A PRETTY GOOD LESSIONS ON IT THERE ARE 100 SONGS TO LEARN BUT THERE DEFINTELY NOT MY TYPE OF MUSIC THERE IT IS NOT VELOCITY SENSITIVE WHICH SUCKS IF YOUR JUST LEARN HOW TO PLAY CAUSE WHEN I TRIED TO USE THE KORG N1 IT WAS HARD TO PLAY CAUSE I WAS USE TO JUST PRESSING THE KEY.

I DEFINATLY WOULD NOT USE IT ON A GIG OR RELY ON IT IN ANY WAY I JUST MESS AROUND ON IT AT HOME BUT OTHER THEN THAT IVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT

DONT KNOW NEVER DEALT WITH THEM

IF IT WAS LOST OR STOLEN I WOULD NOT BUY IT AGAIN I WOULD BUY A MORE EXPENSIVE KEYBOARD WITH MORE FEATURES ON IT AND ONE THAT WAS UPGRADABLE
I JUST STARTED PLAYING AND THIS IS THE ONLY THINK I GOT NOW BUT IM GETTING THE ROLAND AX-1B AND THE PMA-5 AND I WILL WRITE A REVIEW FOR THAT TOO
I LOVE THAT IS VERY EASY TO USE BUT I HATE THE FACT THAT NOTHING IS UPGRADABLE AND THAT THERE IS NO MIDI FEATURES
I BOUGHT IT MANLY CAUSE IT HAD THE MOST/BEST FEATURE THEN THE OTHER ONES AT WAL-MART
RIGHT KNOW IM IN A BAND AND WE DO A KIND OF KORN/MANSON TYPE MUSIC AND THE SOUNDS WORK OUT PRETTY GOOD BUT I WANT TO BE ABLE TO CHANGE THE TONES THATS WHY IM GETTING THE AX-1 AND I ALSO WANT TO BE ALBE TO MOVE AROUND ON STAGE
if your just starting out and your on a tight budget i would say its and ok buy
