Thoroughly Pursuing Expressive, Dynamic Resonance

The grand piano, with its large body and intricate structure, generates a rich and delicate resonant sound. CELVIANO meticulously explores this resonance through Casio's unique sound source technology. It captures the nuances of playing, expressing resonances based on your touch, achieving elongated harmonics, and delivering a vivid, well-balanced sound. This extends to complex tonal changes influenced by variations in the force applied to the keys and the passage of time, faithfully reflecting the subtle nuances of the performer and creating the rich expressiveness distinctive to grand pianos. Embedded in the AP-750 are three grand piano tones cherished by musicians worldwide: Berlin Grand, Hamburg Grand, and Vienna Grand, including C. Bechstein. To convey the enchanting beauty of these tones, Casio employs the "AiR Grand Sound Source," featured in the flagship CELVIANO Grand Hybrid Series. The AP-550 and AP-S450 also incorporate two beautiful grand piano tones using the "Multi-Dimensional Morphing AiR Sound Source." Additionally, the AP-300 and AP-S200 are also equipped with the same "Multi-Dimensional Morphing AiR Sound Source" that features one grand piano tone.

Immerse Yourself in a Vivid Acoustic Space, Embracing the Natural Resonance of the Entire Instrument

Instead of merely hearing the sound from the speakers, you can feel the delicate overtones and expansiveness as if the grand piano were right in front of you. By ensuring that sound from the speaker can pass through various parts of the main unit, sound from the speakers disperses to the outside, Casio has created a unique acoustic mechanism that produces sound which makes the entire instrument resonate, similar to that of a grand piano.
The AP-750 features a distinctive "Grandphonic Sound System," a 4-channel 8-speaker configuration. By carefully reproducing the resonance of a grand piano and ingeniously dispersing the elements of sound, it achieves a natural and immersive resonance, making it feel like the entire instrument is ringing. Incorporating a 2-channel 4-speaker system, the AP-550 also employs thoughtful design to ensure the sound naturally expands. The AP-300 is equipped with a 2-channel 2-speaker system that follows the principal ethos from the higher-end models and enables the natural expansion of sound. Both the AP-750, AP-550, and AP-300 feature a construction unique to Casio, allowing the top board to be opened, which enables performances with a bright, expansive sound reminiscent of opening the large lid of a grand piano. The slim AP-S450 is equipped with a 2-channel 4-speaker system, with two main speakers that face upward. The design of the speaker case and stand allows the sound to easily disperse, providing an unprecedented level of expansive resonance. Whereas, the AP-S200 features a 2-channel 2-speaker system. It inherits the same upward-facing speakers and structure of the speaker case and stand from the AP-S450, achieving excellent sound dispersion and delivering a similarly expansive resonance. Moreover, all models undergo sound processing that ensures a natural, expansive quality even when listened to through headphones.

Seamless Integration of Musician and Instrument: A Masterful Artistry in Keyboard Touch Technology

Casio has thoroughly researched and independently developed the "Smart Hybrid Hammer Action Keyboard CELVIANO Edition," optimizing it for the AP-750, AP-550, and AP-S450. This advanced key action meticulously considers the characteristics of grand piano key actions, significantly influencing the feel when playing. Combining physical mechanisms that utilize the weight of hammers, akin to grand pianos, with sophisticated digital technology that control the touch feeling and sound response for each key. This innovation allows for expressive performances that faithfully respond to the pianist's emotions, adapting to different playing ranges and techniques just like a grand piano. Moreover, the stability of the keyboard action has been enhanced to accommodate for the delicate nuances of advanced classical piano performances. The white keys feature a hybrid structure of spruce wood and resin, complemented by a natural ivory-like surface texturing. The black keys are finished with a matte like texture that reproduces the fine grain of ebony, providing a pleasant and natural playing experience in both texture and appearance.
Additionally, both the AP-300 and AP-S200 feature built-in "Smart Scaled Hammer Action Keyboard."
