What our customer's say!

"amazing, complex machine", I am an absolute newcomer to keyboards, but this is a very cool machine, with an enormous range of things you can do with it. A few minutes with it and I am ready to commit my life to making music.

I have had some troubles with it though, which may be due to my ignorance, but I am usually pretty good at figuring out tech stuff. Some things I have had trouble with are:

The TV lessons are for more advanced students. They are absolutely not beginner lessons.

There is another set of lessons that you interface with on a teeny little screen on the keyboard, which is way to small to mess with as you are scrambling for keys.

It's not a midi keyboard, so I can't plug it into my m-audio usb interface and record what I play onto the computer, as I can record voice.

A casio rep told me that you can record onto the sd card, but the manual does not say that. I have not resolved this issue yet.

The usb connection, according to the same CRABBY UNPROFESSIONAL tech support person, only allows recording from the keyboard onto one program that she knew of, Finale.

Casio does not provide a charging cord, which so impossibly lame, petty and cheap that I can't even begin to tell you how I really feel.

"Great teaching tool and fun!", My son began taking piano lessons at age 7 last September. Considering that we were not sure how long this interest would last, we did not want to invest (finances or space) for a full size piano. We purchased this Casio keyboard from amazon. My son practices daily and has made wonderful progress. The keyboard includes plenty of fun teaching tools, including a TV plug in.

"Good keyboard", My 7-years old boy started his piano classes in Jan 2007, so I bought Casio LK-300TV for him from Sears. Few months later I bought the same keyboard for my mom from E-Bay (they were not available in local stores anymore). It was such so happy choice, we all LOVE it.

Pros:
- Sounds pretty good to my ears. It's not intended for professionals, but good enough for amateurs.
- Number of built-in rhythms and tones are out of imagination. We use only few, though. :)
- TV-Out lessons. You don't really need to know notes in order to play music, it shows on a screen which keys to press with which fingers.
- Lighted keys are useful to learn, especially w/o TV
- Karaoke is just great! Internet has bunch of karaoke files in KAR format. I did some research, them purchased Karcasio program, that allows to convert KAR-files into SMF format, used by Casio, copied them onto SD-card, inserted card into piano - and voila !
- Traning programs (Step 1-3) are also useful, when you learn certain plays
- Scoring. My son loves to score, it's fun for him. He doesn't stop until he gets 100 :)

Cons:
- Not enough keys for some piano plays, I wish Casio had 72- and 88-keys models with the same set of features.
- Piano lessons are available for built-in melodies only. I wish Casio sells additional piano banks, not leaving owners with built-in only.
- Really boring fact is that karaoke mode cannot automatically switch to the next or random song out of the list, it always repeats the same one, until you switch it manually. It's REALLY BORING, believe me ! :(
- When showing up next set of karaoke words on TV-screen, they should've been switched a bit earlier, than rhythm is. You need to know in advance what to sing. If you don't know words of partucular song, pretty frequently you end up with "out-of-sync" singing, because of it.


"Great Keyboard", I had a couple of casio keyboard and this one I will give 4 stars. I just hope it has Pitch bender, So I can emulate a real guitar bending sound. My 1 year old daughter Loves playing it she follows the light and seems to be amused. The karaoke function looks cool, I just hope we can add some more songs to it. It keeps you motivated to learn a song, rather than a plain piano and you have to do all the reading then memorizing. This keyboard gets you started! Anybody can play piano with this instrument.

"piano bundled with piano teacher", I bought two of these as gifts to musically talented children in the Ukraine and Belarus, because I wanted to deliver a self teaching piano. This is a wonderful keyboard, capable of teaching a very wide variety of songs to a beginning student.
