London, UK, Sept 16, 2024 — Casio Music UK, announced today the release of two new entry-level models as part of the distinguished CELVIANO digital piano series. First the AP-300, with its classic design, and next the AP-S200, which features a sleek, lightweight profile. These two new models allow you to easily experience the natural touch and realistic sound of a grand piano combined with an elegant, cabinet design.

Here at Casio, the brand statement for our Electronic Musical Instrument is: "Sound for Style", which reflects our dedication to creating new musical experiences, cultures, and lifestyles for everyone. The CELVIANO series exemplifies this approach by combining the timeless elegance and craftsmanship of traditional grand pianos, with modern cutting-edge technology in order to provide a fresh and innovative piano experience.

The brand-new AP-300 and AP-S200 models have inherited the advanced acoustic and sound source technologies from our higher-end CELVIANO models, continuing to deliver the immersive experience of a grand piano. The unique acoustic design allows for sound from the speaker to naturally diffuse outwards from various parts of the cabinet, which creates a rich, expansive audio experience that’s similar to the resonance of a grand piano. Both of these models feature the Smart Scaled Hammer Action Keyboard, which features delicate touch sensitivity that helps capture the subtle nuances of your musical performance, just like a grand piano.

From a design perspective, the AP-300 stands out thanks to the gold accents on the logo and key cover, which exude a sense of elegance and sophistication. The AP-S200 is incredibly slim at only 299mm deep, so it presents a lightweight and unobtrusive design. This makes it easy to integrate into any living space without taking up too much space, allowing you to effortlessly incorporate playing the piano into your daily routine.

In addition, both models come with the WU-BT10 Wireless MIDI & Audio Adaptor, which enables Bluetooth® connectivity for use with smart devices. By downloading the dedicated CASIO MUSIC SPACE app, you can easily switch between different tones and adjust various other settings. You can also enjoy playing along with your favourite music by making use of the piano's high-quality built-in audio system.

Unique Acoustic Design for Creating Realistic Natural Sound

The AP-300 incorporates the same core principles of our high-end Grandphonic Sound System to achieve the realistic, natural sound of a grand piano. The sound is designed to disperse from the speakers and reflect off optimised materials that have been placed at optimised angles within the cabinet, which creates a rich and immersive audio experience. The AP-S200 combines this advanced acoustic concept along with its unique open design and slim profile.

Beautiful Grand Piano Tones with Multi-Dimensional Morphing AiR Sound Source

The Multi-Dimensional Morphing AiR Sound Source produces the expressive power of a grand piano, with tones that change depending on the playing style and the passage of time. This perfectly captures the seamless transition of sound from the moment it is played until it fades away, including changes in the volume and tone. This sound source faithfully produces the rich, beautiful tones of historic grand pianos.

Realistic Touch with Compact Smart Scaled Hammer Action

The Smart Scaled Hammer Action Keyboard produces the natural touch and feel of a grand piano. The action mechanism is based on the weight of the hammers and changes the level of touch sensitivity according to how strongly the keys are played. The key response is digitally simulated and meticulously designed for each key, which provides a highly realistic playing experience.

CASIO MUSIC SPACE App for Easy Access to Piano Settings

By utilising the included WU-BT10 Wireless MIDI & Audio Adaptor, you can connect the piano to your smart device via a Bluetooth® connection and easily adjust tones and settings such as the keyboard’s touch response, by using the dedicated CASIO MUSIC SPACE app. You can also play along to built-in orchestral tracks or use the piano as a Bluetooth® speaker so you can play your favourite songs while performing at the same time.
