Since the beginning, we have been dedicated to growing as society grows and to meeting people's real needs. The greatest role that a manufacturer can play in society is to create completely original, innovative products, or what Casio calls going from "0" to "1." We do it by identifying what consumers truly need, rather than following the comfortable dictates of conventional thinking. This enables us to go beyond mere customer satisfaction and astonish and inspire people with our products and services. The creation of totally original products starts new trends, contributes to culture, and revitalizes related industries. In this sense, Casio's development innovation benefits of all of our stakeholders, including shareholders and society as a whole.
Constant forward progress is an essential part of Casio's identity. By developing digital technologies with limitless possibilities, and continually advancing into new fields, we are both spurring social progress and growing as a company.

What a breath of FRESH AIR!
I wished Casio would have given the WK-7500 128 note polyphony although maybe their next incarnation will have, plus after-touch as well too hopefully. Can you believe the price though? It undercuts the competition by literally "thousands" of dollars. Plus you get 76 keys, built in speakers and it still weighs under 20 lbs! I can't wait to play one and depending on whether there is any noticeable note drop out because of the limited polyphony I could possible see myself getting one later on down the road. Although I might wait for the next model that does have 128 note polyphony and some of the other goodies this one might lack like higher quality sounds and/or more powerful speakers, etc. But kudos to Casio for putting in some real effort going from toy status to a big time player in the arranger keyboard and stage piano arena in just a few short years time. And if the Big Three aren't careful Casio could eventually blow them out of the water in the not too distant future. Another five to ten years people could be saying - Yamaha who?? Roland who?? What's a Korg again??
All the best,
Mike
