i thought wk3700 much more powerful than psr550 but how come the psr550 price is higher than wk3700.... among this 2 which one to choose???

Let your ears be your guide.....find one, play one, buy one

sigh -.- really confuse now... im still a beginner so not sure about the function...
dnj this 2 model which one will u choose....

Listen to dnj, he is a pro - his advice is solid.

I played both PSR550 and WK3700. I played for 16 years (in church) at least once a week, not like the "real" pros but I still log quite a number of hours and I was impressed by the Casio WK3700 and WK3200(cheaper but almost the same in function). If you hook up to the amplifier/your stereo system it will sound more than acceptable even to a lot of pros.

Another good advice is to buy it at places like Guitar Center that has 30 days moneyback guarantee just in case you don't like it. GC also will match any internet price like music123.com for example including the free accessories.

The 3700 is just a great bang for the bucks. If you like the idea of 76 keys it's a no-brainer.

thx guys... ill get the wk3700 then...

my friend also gonna buy a new one but his budget only $300 so i recommend him wk3200... or better choose wk3500??

hope i can try the keyboard this weekend...

For a beginner the wk 3700 will be fine....
it has some very nice features, for a keyboard at this price point for sure.....good luck.....
