Reviews
Best Gift EverI haven't slept for days. This is a great keyboard for the money! More voices, songs, and styles than one needs. The voices sound almost pro-quality. Keep in mind what the other reviewer wrote - you need to buy the adapter if it is not the AD model.
from the piano playerI've had a casio CTK-541 and a yamaha psr260, but this is the one i wanted all along. I liked it because of its song recorder, sound effects, voices, etc.... When i got it, i couldn't wait to go home and try it out. It sounded so real that it felt like i was on stage. The yamaha education suite 2 helped me learn all 100 songs. This keyboard is worth 100 times more than its price
More features than you can make sense ofA very good basic keyboard with lots of strange features beyond the traditional 100 rhythms and 100 instruments. The most interesting is a piano training course, but it to date has been too complex to figure out. After trying out lots of others in this <($) price range, this seems to be the best quality for the money.
Good features:
- Very close to full sized keys
- Excellent basic sounds. The piano sounds like a piano.
- Basic features are easy to use.
Gripes:
- Instructions are not complete enough given the volume of features
- If you buy this at most other stores (which I did), they foolishly don't include an AC adaptor. The Amazon version (280AD) does.
not includedWe bought the psr280 at another store. They didn't mention that we needed an adaptor. They did however tell us about the headphones we wanted, and then sold us the wrong set.
