Special Features

CELVIANO
The Celviano line of pianos has been refined for those who demand an authentic grand piano experience. The new AP-450's traditional design houses new stereo grand piano sounds and redesigned keyboard action. Utilizing a new tri-sensor spring-less 88 note scaled hammer action, every nuance and detail of your performance is captured. A new 4 layer stereo grand piano sound is delivers a natural, expressive and dynamic piano experience.

PIANO SOUND

The grand piano sounds in the AP-450 deliver an unprecedented level of realism and expression. Four dynamic levels of stereo piano samples are integrated with Casio's proprietary Linear Morphing System, for a grand piano sound with seamless transitions and a superior dynamic range. For added realism, the AP-450 simulates the sound of open strings when the dampers are raised by the pedal using Acoustic Resonance DSP.

EBONY AND IVORY TEXTURED KEYS

The new AP-450 features a new Tri-Sensor 88-note scaled hammer action keyboard. Casio's superior engineering has resulted in an authentic piano touch that captures every detail and nuance of your performance. This scaled hammer action provides the weight, feel and resistance of a grand piano without the need for tuning or regular maintenance of an acoustic instrument.

EDUCATION FEATURES

The AP-450 features a total of 18 built-in tones, with the ability to layer two sounds or split the keyboard to allow a bass sound in the left hand. It has a built-in library of 60 songs that can be practiced at any tempo utilizing the dual headphone outputs or the powerful 20W per side speaker system. Celviano's Duet Mode allows student and teacher to practice at the keyboard simultaneously.

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY

To complete the piano experience, the AP-450 features 256 notes of polyphony, enough horsepower to the most demanding musical passages and the ability to layer sounds and use the damper pedal without worry of dropped notes. In addition the AP-450 can load additional songs through the SD card slot and can connect effortlessly to your computer via USB without the need to install drivers.

POWERED BY AIR

Casio’s new AiR technology, redefines the Celviano digital piano experience with richer and more genuine sounds. The AiR sound source enables the new Celviano models to deliver first-class realism and detail by providing damper resonance, which enhances the sounds of the dampers lifting off the strings when pushing on the sustain petal. Casio’s AiR technology also compensates for the speed at which hammers strike strings at different velocities and key ranges, imperative for those who crave the authentic sounds and feel of a traditional grand piano.

USB MIDI

Casio continues the tradition of providing “class compliant” USB connectivity on Celviano digital pianos. This allows Celviano to be used with Mac or Windows computers without the need to download drivers. Class Compliant USB MIDI also allows Celviano digital pianos to be used as a controller for the Apple iPad by using Apple’s Camera Connection Kit.

We had a long trip to Hinkley to See Steve and his wife at Keysound due to Lincoln having no keyboard shops. We were so pleased we did. They were both brilliant hosts for the time we was in the shop. There range of keyboards is excellent and they were demonstrated brilliantly by Steve who was inspirational and gave my son a real appreciation for what can be done. Many thanks

From start to finish, my experience with Keysound was nothing short of exceptional. Delivery was easy, with my keyboard arriving as promised on time and in perfect condition. A good explanation of the Genos 2 was given to me on delivery and everything was setup ready to go. The USB they provided was helpful in exploring the capabilities of my new keyboard.
Any enquiries I had were met with prompt and friendly responses, and they went above and beyond to ensure that I had all the information I needed.
Overall, based on my experience, I would recommend Keysound for their combination of knowledge, reliability, and excellent customer service.

Keysound are the most knowledgeable And helpful people ever I cannot rate them high enough. Our Piano was delivered on time and the guys told me at the time that the packaging was damaged when they unpacked the piano they found it to be damaged and told me before I even seen it. I had the choice to send it back then or keep it until the replacement was found. I kept it within two weeks. I’ve got a Piano. First rate service all around. I would highly recommend them

Keysound were excellent. Other music shops take a generic approach about what people want and they have limited experience across multiple types of instruments. Keysound were interested in me and exacty what I wanted. They interpreted that and gave me invaluable advice. It was friendly, focused and specific. I would definitely recommend them and buy from then again. I also really like their view that buying a keyboard from them is just the start of the journey. They are there for in-person and online/on phone advice and help. I am extremely pleased with my purchase - which is not what I thought I'd be buying when I entered their shop.

Steve and his staff were excellent. They spent a lot of time explaining and demonstrating various digital pianos and keyboards. After a few days deliberating I chose a different option to what I had set out to buy. The knowledge and service was second to none and inspired me to become a better player. I am very pleased with my purchase and looking forward to many hours of keyboard playing. Thank you

I am so pleased I chose to visit Keysound Hinckley and purchase my new piano from them!!
I went in store to browse as I haven't bought a new piano in about 15 years, and the person who helped me (Sorry, I didn't get his name!) was so so helpful and knowledgable. I purchased my piano and within a week got the call to arrange delivery the following weekend!
The piano is amazing, but unfortunately has an issue with one of the keys. And rather than sending someone over to fix it, the manager called me yesterday to say they'll arrange for the piano to be replaced with a new one!! He said he would be happy if a brand new piano already had an issue, so he'd rather I have a brand new one. Honestly, couldn't ask for better service and nicer people :) Thank you so so much.
