Casio Keyboard wunnerful, save one thing!
I just got a casio pr575 or whatever, and it works

keys, there is sometimes a loud mechanical click! It's
very annoying. If I could figure out how to get the thing
apart, a bit of felt would fix the problem, but it's a real Chinese puzzle to get it apart. Oh, well, it was only $600 Jerry O'Dell

I've been using a "tip-ring-sleeve" to 2 1/4" jack insert cable and it works well when plugged into the headphone jack - just an extra "bothersome" step. Also the lack of Midi In-Out-Thru is kind of awkward - a USB to midi adapter takes care of it, but again, one more extra step. With all the rhythms and... more info
