Casio CTK 2000
Please note that i cannot pack & post this under any circumstance, it’s offered as cash on collection only.
Sorry for the ovesized, vaguely shouty statement but, so far, normal sized text hasn’t worked very well in establishing this…
It’s a fairly large keyboard but very lightweight for its size
It’s in full working order but the body took a knock at one point, at the front right side
and this snapped one of the internal fixing pylons.I repaired it as best i could and it’s been ok since but it may not withstand another shock.
Aside from the above, it has few little marks & scuffs in placesand a bit of dust in the detail here and therebut it’s generally clean and in pretty decent shape.
It has 400 Tones & 150 Rhythms, many of which
are pretty good and quite varied for a keyboard of its type.The instruments & styles cover “traditional / standard”,
“fairly modern” and “world / ethnic”.
It’s by no means comprehensive in this respectbut still offers a broad enough palette for sketching out tune ideasor experimenting with / learning different musical styles.
Feature wise it’s pretty simple but it does have some basic ‘lessons’ built in
and a very simple ‘sampling’ functionthough from what i remember it’s very limited to one short soundand more of a novelty than a main feature.
Most options / features are easily accessible from the buttons,others such as tuning, transpose, accompaniment volume etcare accessed by a menu screen.
About the keys….
They’re shaped like piano keys, square and a little larger and higher than ‘usual keyboard’ keys.
I don’t know how close they are to piano size,just that they’re of that style and they do feel different to play.( i like them but my mate hated them on his CTK 7000 )
They aren’t weighted like piano keys but the physical style may be useful on practice on.
Another thing that may be a positive or a negative is that the keyboard is not velocity responsive.That is to say, the notes play at the same volume regardless of how heavily a key is struck.
The keys themselves have a few little marks and scuffs but are generally good,the white ones are still pretty white.
The keyboard has no traditional MIDI sockets but
can be connected to a PC via a USB cable to send / recieve MIDI data.No USB cable is included but they’re fairly easy to come by.
( they’re the kind with a USB at one end and “long boxy connector” at the other end,used on some printers, external soundcards and other peripherals )
No power adapter is included but
i can supply some batteries so it can be used in the meantime.
Like many Casios (but unlike most other common things), this keyboard requires a connection that is “centre negative”.A ‘high street adapter’ with a polarity switch will work fine,so long as the power ratings and connection are correct.( this is the kind of adapter it’s been used with )
Payment on collection please, should it sell.
Any questions, please ask…
Thanks for having a look.
