Product Description
The Casio WK200 Personal Keyboard offers great tones, sampling, and lessons in one great keyboard! Casio is showing how much they can fit in to this keyboard while offering at a price that makes it impossible to turn down. The New AHL sound source (Acoustic & Highly-compressed Large-waveform) features all built-in tones, including piano and acoustic instrument tones, now sound better than ever before! 48-tone maximum polyphony provides plenty of margin to minimize the chance of notes being dropped when tones are layered and when playing with Auto Accompaniment. The Sampling function allows the user to sample a sound and then play it on the keyboard! You can create sound effects for a party or other events, or use sounds to compose music. Sample sound from an audio device plugged into the Audio In jack or from a microphone plugged into the microphone jack! The WK200’s touch response let's you add delicate nuances to notes by varying how much pressure you apply to keyboard’s keys. Need a challenge? Test your response with an exercise that is just like playing a game! Music Challenge tests your reaction speed by requiring you to press the keys indicated by the on-screen keyboard guide in time with the Auto Accompaniment tempo using the correct fingers indicated by the on-screen fingering guide. Step Up Lessons provides pieces that are divided into short, easy-to-master phrases making it easy for just about anyone to learn to play. After you master a phrase you advance to the next one. With this new lesson function, you keep building up your collection of mastered phrases and soon you are able to play the entire song. The Voice Fingering Guide senses if you are having problems, and will help you by calling out finger numbers in a simulated human voice. The WK200 contains a 152 Song Bank worth of tunes, including 50 Exercise phrases. This package comes bundles with professional closed-cup headphones, single x-braced keyboard stand, and a power supply.

 Can't ask for more! March 4, 2010

We got this unit to allow the children to learn to play the piano. We are fortunate to have an instructor who comes to the house. It worked right out of the box without much set up. To my completely untrained ears it sounds like a real piano. It's sturdy and professional looking and has quite a few buttons we've yet to explore. The headphones are a mother's dream! The different tones and songs are a blast for the children. We've had lots of dance parties. It was a good price for our budget. The instructor himself thought it was a fine instrument and said it would take the children far into their lessons.
Very satisfied with this keyboard August 15, 2010

This keyboard is well worth the money. Especially with the stand, power supply and headphones being included. It has 570 built in sounds. You can use the split keyboard option and the layer option with all of the sounds. The keyboard even comes with 2 song books with songs for people of all skill levels. All of the songs in the books are also loaded on the keyboard, so you can play along if you want.
I downloaded the data manager from the Casio website. It allows me to save the data onto a PC. I loaded it onto my netbook. I sampled some sounds from my virtual synths I use in Cakewalk Music Creator and some work better than others but it does allow you to add some cool synth sounds. The sampled sounds are erased if you unplug the power supply and you have no batteries in the keyboard. But I can take my notebook with me to upload the sampled sounds to the keyboard before a gig or rehearsal.
There are a lot of features and the manual could be a bit better. That's probably my biggest complaint. However, if you lose the manual, you can download the pdf file for it from the Casio site. Just go to the support section to find the data manager and manuals.
With 570 sounds, you know there are going to be some you may never intend to use. You have some great sounds and some cheasy sounds but that usually goes with every keyboard you buy. It's easy to find a case for the keyboard too. I also ordered that from Amazon. It's a good deal overall and I'd recommend it to anyone. Although, if you have a little extra money, you might want to move up to the WK-500. That model has an SD card slot to save your data on. That obviously simplifies matters for those who don't have a netbook, like I do, to carry around with the keyboard.
 Great Keyboard! January 9, 2010

I just ordered this keyboard for our family to learn how to play the piano. I did a lot of research & while I was nervous about buying without playing it first, I was very happy with the features for the price. Would love if it had weighted keys, but that is a whole other price range that will hopefully come after a few years of playing.
Pros: It was easy to set up! The stand took about 10 minutes to put together and we were playing. It's also very easily adjustable for different heights. I liked that it came with the AC adapter (most keyboards suprisingly do not). Great features & fabulous sound on the grand piano. My kids have not stopped playing it since we opened the box. It came all packaged neatly together with 2 song books that match the songs played by the keyboard. I used to know a few of them by memory & have forgotten, so it'll be a great way to refresh & improve my piano skills. Also like that it has the earphone, mic, sustain pedal & usb connections in the back - not all keyboards have all of these... some miss one or another.
Cons: The earphones that it came with are broken. The right side has no sound. I have to replace them directly through the manufacturer which is a major annoyance. They would be great/comfortable earphones w/ volume control, otherwise.
