Casio APS450BN Celviano Digital Upright Piano - Brown

Smart Hybrid Hammer Action keyboard

The AP-S450 Celviano features Casio’s 88-note Smart Hybrid Hammer Action keyboard. Through Casio’s meticulous engineering, the keybed provides authentic piano feel and response that conveys every nuance of your performances. Equipped with spruce and plastic composite keys, this high-tech scaled hammer action provides the weighting and resistance of a grand piano without the periodic tuning and maintenance that acoustic pianos need. What’s more, the touch response of the AP-S450 Celviano’s action is adjustable to optimize it for your personal playing style. You’ll feel right at home on this piano thanks to the simulated ebony and ivory-textured keys that combat moisture and provide an enhanced grip for ultimate performance confidence. We play a lot of pianos, and we’ve rarely found a piano-playing experience this rewarding!

Multi-dimensional Morphing AiR sound source

Casio wasn’t one to stop at the smooth function of the AP-S450’s keys; instead, the company outfitted the AP-S450 Celviano with its state-of-the-art Multi-dimensional Morphing AiR (Acoustic and Intelligent Resonator) sound source. Take, for instance, the relationship between an acoustic piano’s strings: when one string is struck, it causes a rippling chain reaction that causes nearby strings to resonate. Casio’s AiR technology reproduces the sympathetic vibrations found in acoustic pianos, further developing the natural and true-to-life sound of the AP-S450 Celviano! The result is a digital upright piano sound that is incredibly realistic and nearly indistinguishable from that of a true acoustic piano — without the need for tuning and acoustic upkeep!

Two legendary grand pianos

The AP-S450 Celviano offers pianists the breathtaking sounds of two majestic grand pianos: the 9-foot Hamburg concert grand and the New York grand. The Hamburg was captured by Casio using a meticulous placement of microphones to capture every detail of its majestic, rich, and versatile sound. On the other hand, the AP-S450 Celviano also boasts the New York variant of the same marque that was captured with the same richness and detail. In the AP-S450, you'll have an arsenal of different sounds and rich grand pianos to choose from when playing your classical repertoire or arrangements of your favorite songs.

Premium features for educational and musical delight

There’s nothing quite like a Casio, and the AP-S450 Celviano brings Casio lovers and first-time users a unique digital experience that ups the ante for its acoustical brethren. Users of the AP-S450 Celviano will delight in the added features like the 60-song Music Library, four hall simulations, and Instant RePlayer continuous recorder that provide hours upon hours of enthusiastic education. The AP-S450 Celviano also offers a MIDI and audio recorder with internal flash memory and USB storage, so you’re free to record up to 99 songs!

An included WU-BT10 adapter expands the possibilities of your AP-S450 Celviano, letting you connect via Bluetooth to play along with your favorite songs or connect to the Casio Music Space app for expanded features. Pianists can also take advantage of aspects like layer, split and duet mode, plus chorus, brilliance, and preset DSP effects for a digital piano experience like no other!

An illuminative digital experience

To access any of the AP-S450 Celviano’s features, simply use the illuminated touch sensor controls. As you play, the illumination of these controls disappears to give you complete and undisturbed focus — you need only touch them to activate them again. You’ll also notice the Visual Information Bar above the keys. When the metronome is engaged, this bar pulses with the beat. It can also be a great visualization of strength and pedal depth to help students with their technique. Connect to the piano via Bluetooth and customize the visualization to the incoming audio! Users who wish for a more authentic upright piano experience can easily disable this function for distraction-free playing.
