Casio AP-270 BK Celviano

The Casio AP-270BK Celviano not only looks like a piano, it also plays like a piano, and boasts 22 onboard sounds including two grand piano sounds which have to be heard to be believed. But let's start with the Ivory Touch keyboard, which features a special coating to keep contamination out while allowing moisture in, so that the keys remain pleasantly dry and easy to grip even after long practice sessions. The keyboard also features a scaled hammer action, which makes the low notes feel heavier to play than the high notes, as encountered with a real piano. Even when playing chords and using effects and pedals at the same time, the 192 notes of polyphony available with the Casio AP-270BK ensure that performances sound perfectly natural every time. For quiet practice sessions that won't disturb the neighbours, musicians also have access to two headphone jacks, which can be used in place of the two 8W speakers.

The Japanese company Casio was founded in 1946 and initially became famous for its electronic calculators and wristwatches. The company released its first electronic musical instrument back in 1980, since which several decades of experience have poured into the production of keyboards, synthesizers, and digital pianos, including classics such as the CZ synth series and the digital pianos of the Celviano and Privia series. Casio's core corporate philosophy is to contribute to society through its creative products.
