CASIO WK-500
I was surprised when I came across this workstation. The piano,electric piano, and all the other sounds are the same as the WK-3800 but to me, they sound more beefed-up and are much better quality!!! the pianos are so great dont sound tingy at all. Casio did a good job with this board. I highly recommend this board for the beginner through the advanced musician.
