Might get an unbiased opinion from him, if nobody told him what brand it was! A lot of folks are wired to think a Casio couldn't possibly sound good, but the piano and organ sounds on my old WK3000 (I think that's the number) are outstanding.

The piano on the CTK 6000 and 7000 are VERY impressive!!
far better than the PSR and Tyros 2 Piano in my opinion.

I discovered this last weekend when I tried the casio for the first time in the shop.

Did you also try some other sounds? And how are the drums?

The only real complaints I heard about the Casio pianos was key wobble.

I'm not sure if the other models have the same issue.

I think the Casio pianos sound much better than any of the Korg PA series......my buddy has the Casio PX-3...the keys wobble, but not extremely so....at least not yet.

Some of the Korgs had key wobble too...the pianos...the SP-250 was the worst offender according Piano World reviewers and users.

drums and bass are great. very crisp and punchy.

solo brass and reed weren't very good.
I didn't like the strings either...

some electric guitars were nice. the rest still need work.

still.. 2 variations and 1 intro/ending is a big drawback...

Hi Don,

I just bought a Casio PX330 - I needed 88 keys to take formal piano lessons again. I also wanted some arranger functions so when I bore of practice, I can go back to my OLD habits and play keyboard (this could be a mistake). The tones are amazing. I have a S700 here and to my ear, many of the tones on the PX are so much better then the S700 (i.e. piano - sax - guitars). I do not have a Tyros to compare them to so higher end Yamaha boards may be much more superior. The Casio Privia PX330 is a quality made piano/arranger.

I am now wondering if the Casio WK/CTK 7000 keyboards will have those tones too? If so, I may treat myself to the WK 7000 at a future date.
