Ease of Use
:
10
The GK 360 is very easy to use. The location of the buttons on this keyboard makes it easy to switch between different settings. The presets sound amazing and you can change them at any point if you want to. The manual is very easy to use and it is in english.

Expressiveness/Sounds

The sounds on the GK 360 are amazing. My favourite sounds are the piano, Harpsichord, strings and the choir. The voices sound very realistic. It responds well to velocity and aftertouch since it has touch sensitive keys. It can handle almost all types of music except for certain types of classical music and music that requires more octaves. The reverb and chorus sound very good and it makes the piano sound come alive. The keyboard reacts well to my sryle of playing.

The GK 360 seems to be pretty reliable. I have not giged with it yet but I am sure that it could handle a gig so long as I am careful with it and take good care of it.

If it were stolen I would be very upset but I would definatley buy another one. I have been playing keyboard for 2 years and I currentley own a Concertmate 380 keyboard from Radio Shack. The GK 360 beats by a long mile. I love all the sounds, voices and songs. The only thing that I wish it had was a sustain pedal. I would definately recommend this keyboard for anybody who is looking for a cheap keyboard to practice on.
