This sounded goooood!!! The video accompanied by the comment section answered all my questions. If everything works out, I'll have this keyboard brought home by the few next days. Thanks!
@@gearfacts The Casio befell to another player as I didn't pounce at once seeing the offering. "I'm not going to lose that Yamaha PSR-E443 as well", and I pounced without hesitation this time. According to my brother It sounds beautiful as he was the one who picked it up. I'll say the same when he brings it to me on thursday!
I have a WK 110 sitting over there in the corner. That keyboard is now 14 years old, and it works perfectly. One of the keys recently stopped working but I can get someone to fix that. Other than that, the keyboard looks pretty much brand new, and it plays brand new as well. I was just four years old when I got that keyboard, and I still play it sometimes. When I got that keyboard I was just in love with all the sounds. Next I got a Yamaha YPG635. although it was 88 keys and the initial piano sound was a bit better, I would still pick my good old WK 110. FYI, the WK 110 has 515 sounds, including 15 drum kits, I believe 100 to 200 rhythms, I don’t know the exact number, and 100 songs each with four different lessons for learning them. Now some stats on my old YPG635, 503 sound, 100 rhythms, 30 demo songs. My WK 110 is so much better.
I have this same keyboard sitting in my room right now, works like it’s brand new, sounds amazing. Got it 10+ years ago after finding it trashed in a dumpster 👍 one of my best friend ngl
@@gearfacts though I sometimes wish I could use it as a midi controller because damn that would be the dream. Having a full set of keys to write melodies with TvT
Your channel is a living fun. How does the Casio WK-110 compare to the CTK-900? What is the current price for WK-110? For learning beginner and slightly advanced, which would you recommend, if price same? All these videos brilliant and entertaining, my friend. Thank you.
Glad you're enjoying the channel, Axel (pls share on social media - wink!). To answer your question - and it's a good one - the processor is a ZPi for both, but the CTK900 has a DSP to add multi-effects. So arguably its better. The WK110 does have an extra octave of keys though and a much better set of speakers. I think I'd choose the WK110 for those reasons, and also I can get al the extra effects just by plugging in a cheap multi-effects pedal. It really put a smile on my face, and that's ultimately the thing that should guide any music gear purchase :)
I purchased mine in 2007 brand new, excited to go out and take lessons. Will I never took lessons and my keyboard has probably 2 hours of actual playing time on it. This made me pull it out today and I'm going to go find lessons ASAP
I'd like to get a taste of what them speakers sound like playing the same sounds and rhythms that were featured in this video, this keyboard is very impressive kinda want to look and get one now, nice find and review there Gearfacts!!! 👌🏼
If i get the win, I.will be uploading a series of videos refurbishing this gem. It has been so good to me I can't let it die. Loud keys, dead keys. The lot. Wish me luck.
the wk 110 sounds are pretty close to the wk 210 version that I had and then I replaced the wk 210 to the casio ct x700 because the volume knob stopped working on the wk 210
It's kinda weird that the international version doesn't have the pitch bender...The Chinese version(CT-799/CT-599 for CTK-810) has the bender and an SD card slot for (mostly) registrations.
@@gearfacts It was a famous sample from the 1980s, used in numerous songs. Perhaps the most popular song using this sample is "Moments In Love" by The Art of Noise
I have this keyboard and the sustain doesn't work tried 2 new pedals no luck tried puttin foil in in the jack that doesn't work either someone said press function and power at the same time but it doesn't have a function button help
Check if your sustain pedals are stereo or mono (s black stripes or one back stripe on the connector pi). That might make a difference. Or it could jest be a faulty sustain pedal socket. I don't think a factory reset would change anything.
I used to have this keyboard and sadly lost it in a fire. Would you be willing to upload the first demo song in the song bank? I can’t find a single UA-cam vid that includes that song and I miss it lol. Great vid!
I know it's been a while since you posted this, but I have this keyboard so I have uploaded the first demo song for you (001 Arianfor). Hope this is the one you meant! ua-cam.com/video/XlTkUGr6XpE/v-deo.html
i did fix the one loud key, but now it has a bunch of others in random places. gonna have to order the rubber thingies and some good grafit and try again.😅
just picked one up at the thrift store but sound is very faint , I hope if I hook up a headphone amp all will be good ... nope tried different amps getting to much hiss when turned up
me too... I bought mine from a woman who used it everyday since it was new but whose kids got her a proper acoustic; that was 6 years ago. It came with a great stand too, 50 canadian... i'm sure mine doesn't sound this good though, or does it?!... lol i was just about to get the fantom o... now I'm not so sure... i mean the o doesn't even have after touch.... hahha
Hi I have seen one of these on my local marketplace and they are wanting $250 for it. I am wondering if you know when this model was launched in Australia please. I have just had a casio CTK 3000 of similar size die on me but it was 20 years old so want to make sure I get a considerably younger one this time but want an equally gutsy one like the CTK3000 Would it be a good buy at that price would be intersested on your thoughts please
It’s pretty cld now. As much as I like it, I think $250 is excessive, I’d go to $200 max and that would only be if I was really certain it was the one for me. Reliability shouldn’t be a problem, keyboards will usually work for decades (your ctk3000’s sudden death is very unusual I’m sorry to say!) but with brand new keyboards starting at about $400, I think there are better second hand deals out there. Keep an eye on gumtree and Facebook marketplace :)
Good grief, for 3 watts speakers the sound is nice. And 76 key-range is better than current models. The sound processor is NOT the same as that now in use. The depth and tone are audibly different. Thanks for the heads up. as we say here in the jungle of products.
Interesting. Are you suggesting this model is in a different hardware series/sound chips than the WK-220 and WK-500? I just assumed it was just a less featured model.
Glad you liked the video and yes, if your needs are fairly simple then I think, as said in the title that this is one of Casio’s nicest keyboards. Getting pretty old now though :/
Well it all comes down to personal preference of course ...I didn't like the ones in that list because their complex operating systems sucked all the fun out of playing them, which is a real Casio problem atm I think
Awesome! I recently bought an used one for my son and it sounds great. I am however struggling to connect it to my android using the USB MIDI port with no success. Anyone knows if this is possible? I'd like to use some apps to teach my son (and myself) to play a few songs.
Sorry to bother you. I have the same piano and I've been thinking of getting back into playing it. However, I've run into a problem. When I try to play a note I've noticed it doesn't continue to play the note like it does for you in the video. Is there a setting I need to activate or was there a pedal I needed?
It's not bother, I'm happy to answer your question. Yes, it's a pedal that you need. In music stores, sustain pedals (as their called) start at about $15 and they really enhance the playing experience :)
I haven't got it with me right now so it's hard to give a clear answer, but I do know that there is a Send function (might appear as "SND" in the function menu" and you have to 'send' a percentage of your sound into the reverb effect. So if 'send' is set to a low value (as I think it is, by default) then it'll always sound weak not matter how much you edit the actual reverb effect itself. So look for the option in the menu to send the main voice into the reverb effect, and see if it can be raised. I suspect that's the problem. Classic Casio over-engineering!
@@gearfactswhy is that? I saw both for sale..so is wk110 really better than wk 220? Please advice as I thought wk 220 is newer should have better sound n specs

No, they are just spring-loaded.
