ITo me its not the gear the makes the musician. I know a Cat who (understandably) bashes casio. this dude Owns a grand piano, Hammond Organ, and a korg Triton, But he sounds WACK.

I don't think anyone on here is saying that having good gear automatically makes you a good musician.  The Casios they have now are a heck of a lot better than the Casios I owned when I was learning.  The only things they haven't improved on is the key action and the build quality.

I think thats exactly why everybody hates on them. Even though they are making better products, their name will hold them back.

I wouldnt say "hate"........we all just have our own preferences. I choose not to mess with casio....not even for practicing. I'm not knocking you for staying so loyal to them. Thats wassup, if Casio is what works for you...then by all means go with that. We all are just expressing our opinions on them...no need to take it as far as saying that we hate on them...no...not at all. Hate is such a harsh word anyway...lol.  ;D

I wont be loyal to them forever. I wouldnt buy another one. I'd rather spend $100 and get an XP-50.
I've got my eyes set on a M08 in the very near future.

When it comes to Casio, hate is not a strong word.

in defense of the casios, i Had to sell plenty of them,

In the WK-series, (beginning with the wk-1200)there were always two versions of the same board. the slightly more expansive of the two had stereo line outs on the rear, a floppy(or smartmedia) for sequence storage, separate volume/sustain jacks on the rear.

you had the WK-1630/1800,3000/3200,3500/3700, etc.

the higher number was the better of the two.

Yeah thats a blessed board man. I love it and its great for a beginner.

I play a Fantom X-8 in church and am not impressed at all. It may jsut be my church's PA system though.

I definately agree with you on that one.  And what's up with only having a headphone out jack?


You must be talking about the wk3300.
The wk3800 has both the in & out jacks..at the back: there it is!

  ::)..... :D:DTelll us another joke guys.
Fenbox, what did Casio ever do to you? >:(

I only ever purchased my 1st board in August last year & I just wanted to give all brands a chance..
Most cats, in fact, all cats I knew were giving a stamp of disapproval of Casios..I went along with the 1 I had spotted online anyway...(after going to shops & trying out some Rols & Yams)...I had to go with the Casio..(would've taken a Rol or Yam of course if I had an extra $500 or more)..


The Fantom X8 , with all the praises it gets, I was very disappointed with it's performance..the Casio is way more easier to navigate for me & hence make it sound better than that much appraised Fantom ::)

But yeah, the action leaves much to be desired, but when you know your wk, U'r way better off (financially & soundwise ) than some1 playing a Fantom X they can't control ;D :D ;D

Different people have different tastes.  You'll find people who love Yamaha piano voices, and you'll find people who hate Yamaha's Piano voices.  You'll find people who love Casios and people who hate Casios.  There are even people who don't like Hammond Organs (Sjon I'm looking in your direction).

That's just how it is.  Everyone's ear is different. 

HOWEVER.

If you've had limited experience with Casios, or you had extensive experience with Casios 5+ years ago, maybe you shouldn't judge what you don't know.

And as a general rule, you should NEVER hate on a Hammond Organ.

This goes for you Sjon!!!
