Hi Marje

Yes I tried the YPT 310 and a very good keyboard it is at that price.

However I also tried the Casio and for me it sounded better and had more of the features that I particularly wanted.

I am pleased that you are happy with your purchase. I haven't really been able to give mine a test drive here at home yet due to someone called Santa who seems to have been around.......had a house full of children and grand-children, so I kept my new toy hidden.

The clan has not yet cleaned me out of food and drink so it looks as if it will be after New Year before I get to grips with my CTK5000. I have read through the features which are too numerous to mention and in my case to use. It too has a number of synth sounds including applause, birdsong, GUN SHOT ????!!!!! and others. What it doesn't have is one that says what are you having to drink.....

Though it does have a feature that lets me enter my own sampled sounds which I can then convert to any of the tones & rhythm arrangements that I want to or I can just play along with it....

When I have had chance to appraise the board I will post a review here if any one is interested??

Happy playing....and have FUN

Regards

Mike
