    You won't get a keytar cheap, they're vintage gear at this stage and command the prices expected of such. Why in gods name do you need a keytar anyways? Tell us what your needs and budget are and I can recommend something.

    You'll be looking for one of these so > http://www.roland.com/products/en/AX-7/index.html

    IIRC, I paid about £300 stg, but I sold it about 2 years ago as I never really used it.

    Be advised, these keytars are not synthesizers - they are MIDI controllers, so you will need either a MIDI enabled keyboard, rack mounted synth module or a VST with a MIDI interface.

    The AX-7 is pretty cool lots of decent functions for you left hand - the touch ribbon is programmable too and the D-Beam is pretty nifty.

    Here's a list of the top 6 or 7 most common ones. The Casio you're on about is the AX-1
