With the new 2024 Celviano range, Casio has moved up a gear and created some pianos competing with the best instruments in the mid-range price category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverview\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are three models in the new Celviano piano range from Casio: the AP-S450, AP550 and AP750. The new models bring a range of pianos with wooden keyboards to a mid-range price point. The keyboard's feel is just as important as the sound when selecting a piano, and there is no doubt that this new range from Casio is equipped with one of the best keyboard actions in their respective price points.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe AP-S450 has all the standard features we've come to expect from modern digital pianos, including a metronome, on-board recording, a built-in music library, 26 different voices - including eight acoustic pianos, reverb and effects, adjustable touch response, and USB MIDI to connect to a computer for more advanced music composition and scoring applications.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSmart Hybrid Keyboard Action\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCasio's new Smart Hybrid key action uses both resin and spruce wood, which is unique to Casio. Casio is the only manufacturer to use the same wood found in acoustic piano keys. All keys have counterweights, each with a slightly different response time to replicate the key scaling effect on an acoustic grand. These pianos are ideal if you're looking for the most accurate keyboard response without investing in a premium range instrument. The keyboard action meets the demands of both beginner and experienced pianists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSee, Hear, \u0026amp; Play In Store\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen buying a new piano, there's nothing like seeing, touching and hearing the instruments in person, and you can do this at one of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.bonnersmusic.co.uk\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003eBonners Piano Centres\u003c\/a\u003e. We have showrooms on the South Coast in Eastbourne, Reigate in Surrey, and Milton Keynes. All locations are easy to reach from the major road network and have on-site parking right outside the door. You can compare up to 50 models of digital pianos in any of our three stores to be sure you're making the right buying decision.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCasio has worked hard on the design of their new range. The AP-S450 is what is referred to as a lifestyle piano - that means it has a slightly slimmer design than a full-size cabinet instrument - even though the keyboard still retains a full 7-octave 88-key configuration, which is the same as a concert grand piano. Unlike other slimline digital pianos from other manufacturers, the AP-S450 has a taller body, which means the music desk is set at the same height as a standard digital piano. This makes it a little more comfortable to play when reading sheet music for longer periods of time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe polished front panel reflects your fingers playing the keys - just like a beautiful polished ebony grand piano.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe touch-control panel disappears when not in use to minimise distraction and hide the piano's digital aspects. The AP-S450 is available in black, brown and white finishes, and Bonners offers a range of package bundles that include piano stools and headphones so you can purchase everything you need to get playing in one simple transaction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePedals\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe AP-S450 has three metal pedals that give the same functionality as an acoustic piano - and the damper pedal offers a continuous response, which means it can be used for half-pedalling techniques.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker System\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe AP-S450 features a new speaker system with four speakers to give a rich, full-bodied sound. The main Speakers are placed facing down, with front-facing tweeters at 45 degrees to each other to achieve a more expansive sound field. The piano also has reflective acoustic panels inside to expand the sound spread even more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVisual Information Bar\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA unique addition to the new Casio range is the Visual Information Bar on the front panel. By default, it shows your playing velocity, but can also show metronome beat, sustain pedal depth and the level of various settings such as touch sensitivity, reverb and string resonance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBluetooth Connectivity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe AP-S450 is supplied with Casio's WU-BT10 Bluetooth adaptor, which adds wireless MIDI + Audio capabilities. Use Bluetooth to stream backing tracks from your portable device through the piano's speaker system, or connect to Casio's Music Space App to control the piano using your touchscreen and enjoy the play-along tuition features.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features Of The Casio AP-S450\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNEW Smart Hybrid key action\u003c\/strong\u003e using resin and spruce wood.

Grand Piano 1 is a European Concert Grand, and Grand Piano 2 is American (brighter sound with even more punch, good for jazz and pop). Other tones are also included, with added details, such as string buzz in the upright Acoustic Bass (on key release) and more tonal depth in the E. Pianos depending on key velocity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNEW speaker system\u003c\/strong\u003e with Acoustic Projection - 2 channel, 4 speaker configuration.
