I WAS CUT OFF THE LAST TIME I TRIED TO LEAVE A MESSAGE. SO, TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT. YOUR 149.99 PRICE IS $185.54 BY THE TIME YOU PAY TAXES, SHIPPING AND HANDLING. THE KEYBOARD DOES NOT INCLUDE AN AC ADAPTOR. I AM TOLD THEY ARE AROUND $30.00 AND IF YOU BUY THE WRONG ONE IT WILL BLOW UP YOUR KEYBOARD. WE ARE GOING TO TRY OUR BEST TO RETURN THIS TO TARGET. YOU SHOULD BE NOTIFIED OF THE EXTRA COST AND THE FACT THAT IT DOES NOT COME WITH AN AC ADAPTOR. BATTERIES ONLY LAST ABOUT 6 HOURS.

This isn’t the best keyboard on the market, as should be pretty obvious, but it is exactly what is advertised! The sound quality is about equal to many others that can range from 200 to 300 dollars, and the touch sensitivity isn’t that bad at all.
As many others pointed out it doesn’t come with an adaptor, (as many products don’t), and it’s not something anyone advertises on the box. I was able to pick one up from my local music store with no trouble, I think it was 20 dollars.
I never tried the practice features that come with it, but there are far better ways to practice! This keyboard is perfect for anyone just starting out to intermediate unless they’re trying to become a concert pianist, in which case they really need to be using a real piano anyway!

Product arrived in good shape. Worked just fine. Price was great. Had to wait a few more days than originally forecast. Good overall experience.

I recently have decided to learn to play the keyboard. As a complete beginner I decided I wouls begin with a keyboard as opposed to a piano to learn, and possibly move up as I gained experience. I must say, after recently purchasing this instrument I am thoroughly pleased.
Upon receiving this, which is the entry level, or lowest priced Casio model to feature btouch sensitive keys, I found there to be to defects in the way that the keyboard functions, and it is free of the low volume problems that are apparant in yamaha’s entry level touch sensitive model.
I also learned that, however, the buyer should beware. Not only does this product arrive without an AC power adapter, but it also lacks a sustain pedal, which is essential to anyone who plan to use this keyboard to play at least intermediate music.
The model numbers for the adapter and the sustain pedal are located in the owner’s manuel, in case you do decide to purchase this otherwise problem free product. But buyer beware however, that the price listed above is not the final one. Add on approximately, as I know from experience, about 15 dollars for the adapter, and 20 dollars for the “optional” sustain pedal, plus taxes.
Overall, however, besides the additional costs, I have found this product to be of plaesing quality and have no other quibbs about it. The keyboard only possesses 61 keys, however, 27 short of a full 88 key keyboard found on high level digital pianos and acoustic pianos, being 5 octaves plus one key. If 61 keys is not enough, I recommend you look elsewhere.
For the beginner, I do recommend this product, but beware the extra fees.
