Very nice keyboard except ....

it is overly complicated with 700 sounds all operated through a scrolling led window. My only reason to buy this PX-S3100 is because I have the PX-S3000 and I have all the accessories that goes along with the PX-S3000 like the keyboard stand, the triple pedal and the carrying bag that is made exclusively for the PX-S3000. All these accessories can be used with the PX-S3100. So here is the thing, the Casio WU-BT10 Bluetooth MIDI and Audio Adapter is completely useless. The delay with the bluetooth Midi is totally unusable because well.... I mean when you play the piano, it is a real time thing.... like if you want to sync with a song.... there is no way that you can sync with a song if the note that you play sounds out a second later after you hit the note and plus if you use the BT Audio to play music and lets say GarageBand to record, this becomes an absolute mess of delayed midi to the iPad with GarageBand and delayed audio feeding into your piano speakers. What is Casio thinking about? and not only that Casio has removed the Aux-in on all there newest keyboards except the PX-S3100. No Aux-in on the PX-S1100. No Aux-in on the PX-S5000, S6000 or S7000 which mean no more DAW sounds where you send midi data from your keyboard to a DAW and the DAW sends back the sound of the note to your AUX-In so your keyboard speakers will make the note sound. With the S3100 you can still use USB Midi to send the note and the Aux-In to hear the sound on your keyboard speakers. So basically the WU-BT10 is useless which makes the S3100 the same as the S3000 as this was really the only main new feature that they added. I think the speakers have better sounds. Oh well I had to upgrade now to the S3100 to fully utilize my S3000 accessories. If you are just getting into the world of electronic Music Keyboards, the cheaper Casio keyboards with less sounds might be a better choice as yes 700 sounds is wonderful but this whole keyboard is really hard to learn especially for a 62 year old man. While yes you will eventually learn the most of the needed keyboard combinations, this keyboard is daunting to use. I did hear that you can now turn off stretch tuning. This is a nice keyboard but not worth the price but if you have the money and you want the newer version of the S3000, then by all means do what I did and swap in the new s3100 and I will be giving my old S3000 to my daughter. Don't buy the new keyboard as this is the end of line where Casio doesn't make keyboards with Aux-in.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
