Digital pianos_CELVIANO 04 The best sound has many facets www.celviano.
For more than 20 years CASIO has given its heart and soul to the dream of piano playing. The ultimate goal: the perfect recreation of the infinite possibilities for music expression held within a real grand piano. Each new CELVIANO digital piano brings the sound one step closer to authentic, makes the feel more realistic, and the design even more elegant. The action of the keys and liveliness of the instrument have achieved levels to satisfy even the greatest doubters.
Digital pianos_CELVIANO 06 In the beginning there was sound Making the jump into the CELVIANO world has never been so full of expression and liveliness. The AP-220’s advanced sampling technologies lend its 16 convincing AiF tones the finest nuances, while the scaled hammer action keyboard possesses three sensors to measure even the finest keystroke movement. Yet we lavished just as much attention to the instrument’s stylish design as we did to its luxurious sound characteristics.
