The Casio CTK 4200 is an absolutely outstanding keyboard for its price. It has everything you need to get started in your keyboard playing right away, right out of the box. Perfect both for the beginner or the intermediate keyboard player, and great for casual keyboard performances. It is also ideal for recording your own songs, as it comes complete with a five song and six track recorder. Meaning you can instantly share your own compositions or digital performances with your friends or through the Internet.

As we’ve come to expect from every Casio Keyboard product, the Casio CTK-4200 is complete with a variety of built-in tones, six hundred to be exact, including impressive grand piano tones, as well as tones for other instruments like strings, percussion, and exotic instruments from around the world. Also, you can create your own accompaniment thanks to the built-in drum patterns, allowing to become a one-man band anytime you want.

Another bonus for beginners is the innovative and intelligent Step-Up Lesson system, which gradually takes the beginner through several pieces which he or she should simply try to emulate, following the instructions in the LCD display. Of course, the portability is a huge feature in itself, since you can also take it with you anywhere you want, whether for music classes, gigs, or other performances. Remember that the entire package already includes the stand, power supply, and headphones. The Casio CTK4200 opens up a wide world of possibilities.

That being said, the Casio CTK 4000 had all the basics that you would look for in a decent digital keyboard, at a very cheap price. Well how does the Casio CTK 4200 compare? It seems like it’s a pretty significant improvement from its older brother. The price is still the same, at around one hundred fifty dollars, but there are more features in terms of the built in tones, there are 30 more. Then there’s an emphasis on rhythmic accompaniment patterns, which if I’m not mistaken, wasn’t the main emphasis of the Casio CTK 4000. I guess the Casio CTK 4200 makes it even more possible to become a one-man band than when it comes to the older version.

Finally, the Casio CTK-4200, at the same price, includes accessories (our favorite thing!) such as headphones, an X-style stand, and a power supply. Given that alone, this complete package is definitely a significant improvement from the older version, and makes it even more of a bargain than every before! Recommended without any hesitation!
