Casio CTK-3500AD Full Size Touch Response Keyboard - Black

My daughter loves it

Pretty nice transportable keyboard. Very useful for beginners, lightweight so easy to move around, very customisable with many settings to change. There are only 61 keys however can still play pieces with lower or higher notes using the "Trans" setting. The sound of the notes could be a bit better, sometimes pieces don't sound close to as nice as they are on a acoustic piano. Also the touch sensitivity is not high enough, even on setting 2 it requires too much force to press down to make a harder noise.

This keyboard with it's touch-sensitivity is the cheapest you can buy but that doesn't mean it's sub standard. If you are buying to learn (as I am) on it's great - just pick a piano tone you like and start practising! It also, has a number of "fun" features the star of which is the dance music set up which enable you to play along and get your timing right, plus it can be used as a MIDI keyboard. There are many features which I haven't explored, but you will find a wealth of stuff about this keyboard on Youtube to assist.

The Casio CTK 3500 has a pitch bend wheel, sustain input and 48 note polyphonic plus Touch sensitive. No other keyboard manufacture can match this for value. You can even play advanced fingered chords in learning the keyboard if you decide on the Kenneth Baker Complete keyboard books. The onboard screen tells you what the chords are in the left hand for aranger for your own backing Band with fingered chords Or you Can play certain piano pieces for the beginner to begin with the Kenneth Baker Complete piano books. The speakers arent very loud. Two watts but ediquate. However the sounds are Most pleasing. It's very portable. I have been playing both keyboard and piano since mid 1980s. I just want it to go through chords revising on appeggios. To sum a good little keyboard with a nice touch When played. Comes with mains adapter or you can use batteries Sure to give pleasure for those who want to learn music and a hobby to begin with. You are never too old to learn music. Plus you never stop learning..

Great piano for my 8 year old who has just started piano classes. It is indeed light weight and sound comes across really well. It is probably a bit bigger than i had thought so definitely wouldn't call it portable piano.Got the basic functions and if i have one gripe, it is that the notes holder set up looks cheap.

No lock-down dog.. lock-down piano. The trouble is I am not 8 and I am really struggling to learn something new - but this is a great little keyboard.Bought as in a decent price bracket - it is not the loudest of things, but ample for my room - it would struggle in a bigger venue unless through an amp. Ok, not 88 keys, but sufficient to confuse a beginner. The piano sound is ok - it sounds like a piano to me, and that is important - you can change the sound to a host of others - I will leave that until later.The keys feel ok - again, I am a novice and I have nothing to compare with, but it is fun to use.The one big gripe I have with it is the silly music stand - it is useless. The frame is too small for music books or sheet music - indeed, so small you cannot even clip onto it to hold music books. The recess in the unit to sit the books in is too narrow and too shallow, so the books / music just falls off - poor design. Simple to rectify with some cardboard and cable ties, but that is not the point - poor marks for that Casio.I have put the unit on a rockjam stand - works very well, but equally will sit on a table.I have had hours of 'fun' learning so far - excellent keyboard for the price

This replaced a previous Casio keyboard, only difference from the previous one is that these keys don't light up! The lights certainly do help in the early stages, as on this keyboard although it 'talks' shows the key required to press on the small display. I find it hard to read music (and I do try) so working out the key to press is a little elongated for me, however manage to get by and really love this keyboard. There are more in-built tunes, which is great, more variety to accompany.The sound is good and clear with many instruments to choose from when playing together with a selection of rhythms, so something for everyone.If you are a real amateur like me and enjoy playing some of your favourite (simple for me) tunes, really don't think you can go far wrong.

I love this piano with all my heart!This is actually the most perfect beginner piano at a decent price point.Everything from the range of instruments to the sound of it.My favourite is 006, I forgot the name of it, but it's so beautiful to play with it.The keys feel really comfortable when you push them, although over time (I've had this for a decent amount of time now and the keys are clicking which is annoying, but bearable. It's really fun to play with, I've learnt 4 songs since I bought it and I'm so proud of myself.My mom loves it too and now I'm teaching her how to play it. Hah!!!Fun times.In conclusion;This piano, the casio ctk 3500, is a definite recommendation.One hell of piano, wish the keys were more durable, but it's more than enough at this price range and I'm actually used to it, so it's less annoying.I recommend this to any beginner.Even if you're not a beginner and you play hours on end, still recommend this piano.So worth the money.
