My wife and I debated on which 76-Note keyboard to buy: Casio WK-1630 or Yamaha PSR-GX76AD. The price range for both products is very close.
At the beginning, we kind of lean on the Yamaha for the following reasons:
-Yamaha GX76 has 5 songs, 6 tracks memory while Casio WK1630 only has 2 songs, 6 tracks memory.
-Yamaha has one hundred built-in songs while Casio has twenty something songs.
-Yamaha has education book come with it while Casio has none.
-Yamaha has four local stores in town for services while Casio has none.
After testing both products in several stores, we finally settled for the Casio WK1630 for the following reasons: Casio WK1630 has a better volume control and the sound quality seems to be a little better than the Yamaha GX76. Since my wife is not a beginner, she doesn’t care about the education book. She only cares the quality of the music and the audible level of the music. She wants loud PoP music. Yamaha can’t produce loud enough music even we turned the volume to the max. We tried the volume features on several stores to make the comparison. The conclusion is Casio produces music louder at the max volume with acceptable sound quality while Yahama couldn’t produce loud music at the max volume. That help us made up our mind.
So if you are a beginner and don’t care about the loudness of the music, Yamaha seems to be better.
If you are not a beginner and want a loud PoP music, you may consider the Casio WK1630.

I have owned this keyboard for about six months, and although I’m extremely happy with it, there are a few drawbacks that anyone who is considering this keyboard should know about. So I’ll try to make good as list as possible.
THE GOOD:
*realistic sounds (#19 is better than a real drawbar organ!)
*good DSP settings
*32 polyphony
*Alot of presets, so you can save your favorite sounds
*Powerful mixing board
*Layer and Split settings, which means that up to four sounds can be playing at once
*Very light weight, especially compaired to some Yamaha’s and Rolands I’ve tried to pick up.
*Many tones, some very funny, such as Helicopter, Applause, and GunShot.
*Many different beats.
*The LCD screen is nice.
*Casio Cord is very accurate.
THE OKAY:
*The onboard speakers are loud, but the louder they get, the worse the quality. Its only a problem for me on a couple of the sounds.
*Only two songs can be saved at a time.
*The volume is very sensitive.
*Keys aren’t weighted. I don’t mind it, but some do.
*Touch sensitivity is okay. At it’s highest, it’s just okay, nothing like a real piano at all. But since the keys aren’t weighted, you’re not going to get much better.
THE BAD:
*Really big. Really really big.
*Feels flimsy. I’ve made scratches on mine by hitting my ring against it.
*Some of the sounds are the same, such as the violins
I bought my keyboard used without a manual. I’ve figured out most of the settings, such as how to mix, but there are still some which I haven’t figured out yet. I would suggest getting the manual, even though it is very easy to understand and use. Like I said, it came used, and I’ve put it through alot (like a rainstorm, being dropped on the ground, ALOT of travel without a case in the car), and it’s still holding up great. The speaker quality isn’t an issue with me because if I want it loud, I can plug it into my amp. It does get very loud with it’s own speakers (altough a few of the settings cause the sound to waver).
I absolutely love my keyboard. I’ve compaired it to others, such as the high end of the Yamaha DGX series, and I like my Casio much better.
Buy it!

This keyboard is phenomenal for the money!
I recently bought a Yamaha DGX-202, (a comparable unit), returned it then bought the Casio.
Casio blows the doors off the Yamaha.
The sound is phenomenal. (Much better than the Yamaha’s)
The fuctionality is excellent.
The styling is beautiful.
And for the street price ($…) it’s an incredible deal.
Get one immediately!

This is a surprisingly [inexpensive] piece of equipment for the kind of power it contains. With 232 tones, (32 which you can create yourself) some excellent demo songs to showcase it’s power, and over 100 rythms (20 which you can create yourself) this is a powerful piano impersonator. I’ve things like this that were basically … batteries. Expensive, bulky, meek, weak etc., you get the idea. This masterful musician’s amigo is only 200 something dollars and is EXTREMELY poweful. To get the best out of this equipment, get the computer Music starter pack (or some kinda name like that) from cakewalk to create bigger, easier to compose songs. I’m only 14 and I can make I own music easily with this dynamic digitizer. You won’t regret it.
