Casio WK-1630 Review

History:

Purchase: I ordered this unit off the internet from Music123.com. I have played piano and keyboard in the past and had been without one for about 7 years I thought it was time to have one again. I paid $260.00 for mine. It was a refurbished unit.

Pros: First the size. (76 keys) I really like the range of sounds and full 32 note polyphonic. I haven't even begun to touch the mixing range. It has a 16 channel mixer. The feel is very solid and I like the fact that I can turn on or off the touch sensitive keys. The ability to play 4 instruments at the same time is also a very slick feature. The sound that comes out is fantastic.



Cons: Only a couple of small things. One it has only a two song memory. Some of the instruments sound a little off in certain parts of the range. It can sound real good in one octave and you move up one and it sounds kinda funky. Thats about it.

WK-1630 Quality: It appears to be pretty solid. It is mostly plastic but the speaker covers are metal with is a nice touch. Keys could be a little heaver but not a real big issue for the price. I don't know how portable it would be but I don't travel with it so that shouldnt be a problem with me.

Casio Summary: I looked around and several different models in this price range. For the money I feel I got the BEST keyboard I could have. I have only had it for about 2 weeks but am already playing some good music. I am real happy and satisfied with my investment.
