The Casio WK-200 keyboard adopt AHL ( Acoustic & Highly-compressed Large-waveform) Sound Source Technology. This cutting edge technology encompass full expression of its 570 rich tones and 180 rhythms of acoustic instruments, like the piano and more.

The Casio WK-200 keyboard also feature 76-keys piano-style touch sensitive key to satisfy more users. The maximum polyphony of 48 notes - an improvement from 32 notes- ensures that no sound drops out, even when playing complex parts with auto-accompaniment. Though packed with great features such as Casio’s famous Step-up Lesson System, audio inputs for a MP3 player, Mic input, 10 seconds of sampling whereby you are allow to sample anything that you like and a USB port for MIDI but the price range for this fantastic keyboard is affordable and absolutely VERY TEMPTING.

I would recommend this instrument for beginners and more advanced students.
