great features to price ratio!

I bought this unit to use in a cover band situation...something easy to use, with good general sounds...well, it has that for sure, only complaint would be the drum sounds and rhythms...a bit cheesy and generic, unlike Yamaha gear in this range, but, the ability to program your own rhythms is nice, if u need that...sounds are more than sufficient for any scenario, the tone editing is a great feature, really key, and the ability to save custom tones is fantastic for the price...like I said, the tones are really useable, the speakers nice and clear, good volume, and the front panel layout is easy to navigate.
Complaint wise, its like this...the manual is a bit hard to read, a lot left unclearly written...no MIDI connectors, and the sustain plug jack polarity is not switchable. The auto accompany programs are silly sounding too...very childish, but that's about it for the complaints...oh, and way too many oriental rhythms and tones...
For a simple to use home practice or jamming board, use in an uncomplicated cover band, or maybe a church group, for the price, u can't beat it.

Surpassed my expectations

Love love love my new Casio WE-6500. The feel of the keys and the sounds are fantastic. I'm amazed at how authentic sounding the organ feature is when playing Bach. This is a handsome and versatile musical instrument.

Well,you did it again.

I just unpacked my 6500. I like to plug and play first. I own several Casio keyboards. They're user friendly from the get go. This one is no exception. I thought about the 7500. Maybe later. It's gonna be fun chipping away at this one first. Cool sounds and rhythms. Gonna be fun messing with them. All Casio internal clocks are the same. If you own two,the rhythms can be synced as long as the tempos match, and you hit both together. And, as always,superior customer service. It's great doing business with you. Till next time.
always,superior customer service

my keyboard & overall service @ sweetwater

actually the rating is great!! I'm very pleased with my recent purchase of the Casio WK-6500. Not to mention the other stuff i've bought from Sweetwater! The sales people are friendly & very knowledgeable, indeed!! Great tech service, great prices saves much cash! And you know what, the coolest thing about Sweetwater, is that they keep in touch with you & not just about how your doing with a purchase. They ask how everything is going in your life in general, which is unheard of with most musical companies!! Just a great music store; i gotta tell ya, there has been a few people ask me if i know of a good music store & my first answer is dude, check out sweetwater, you can't go wrong with them,trust me, their great!! Anyway, thanks a lot Sweetwater, you guys rule!!
Sincerely,
Phil Metro
