Casio's 61-key CTK-496 has everything a beginner needs on board: 100 tones, 100 rhythms, 100 songs. The familiar CD player control buttons (stop, play/pause, rewind, fast forward) make child's play of song bank operation. The on/off buttons for the right and left hand--as well as the button for activating the chord book function--are located just beside the song-bank controller. The instrument of...

I want a fully weighted 88-key arranger keyboard and an amp to go with it for $1000. which one is the best?

i dont want a piece fo crap casio or something like that. Im looking for quality like Korg, Roland, Kurzwiel, Alesis, etc. I want to be able to record on the keyboard. built in drum rythms would be good too. Where is a good place to buy keyboards? GuitarCenter sucks hardcore. i only have $1000 for amp and keyboard. If it had built in speakers that would be sweet too.

This is a tough one. I can make a suggestion that fits all your criteria except for one. The Yamaha DGX-500 has the features you're looking for except that the keys are not fully weighted. I've seen these on ebay for around $300 used. And no, I'm not kidding when I say Yamaha. I've had this model since it first came out, and for the price, I was amazed at how good it sounds. Since then, they've released newer versions (the 505 then the 520) but sonically they sound identical, just with a few more bell and whistles.

As for an amp, try the Peavey KB/A series. They've got the cleanest tone of any amp I've tried. I got the KB/A 300 about 5 years ago for about $600, and that's the largest one in the series. If you don't need anything that big, the smaller ones are cheaper, so you should be able to get a decent package for less than $1000. Of course, it's best to try them out yourself, but it's my own personal recommendation. Good luck!
