Casio Celviano AP-550 Digital Piano, White

Description

Redefining Tradition Through Innovation

From the first glance, the AP-550’s elegant design captivates the imagination. With a wealth of
new features inside, the new Celviano digital piano is available in three beautiful colours that lend
an air of sophistication to any setting, with all models featuring a reflective front panel that recalls
the familiar characteristics of a polished acoustic grand.

Smart Hybrid Hammer Action Keyboard

Casio’s new Smart Hybrid Hammer action represents a breakthrough in digital piano technology,
seamlessly merging the authentic feel of an acoustic piano with the versatility of a modern digital
instrument.

Crafted with precision using resin and Austrian spruce wood, the same materials as an acoustic
piano, this innovative key action combines the nuanced touch of acoustic piano keys with smart
sensor technology, providing players with a responsive and expressive playing experience.

2 Concert Grand Piano Tones

The AP-550 boasts 25 tones in total, including 2 Concert Grand piano tones: Hamburg (newly
sampled for this model) and New York. The Hamburg tone exudes richness and lyrical warmth,
while the New York tone offers a brighter sound, characterised by resonant overtones.

New 4-Speaker System

The AP-550 features an advanced 4-speaker system strategically positioned for optimal sound
projection. Supported by two channels of amplification, it delivers a seamless and dynamic audio
experience. The addition of an opening lid enhances the immersive acoustics, faithfully
reproducing the sympathetic resonance reminiscent of a traditional grand piano.

New Pedal Design

The pedal design of the AP-550 mirrors the dimensions of those found on an acoustic grand
piano, providing continuous variability for the damper pedal. This precise control unlocks
possibilities for the most demanding performance techniques, elevating your musical expression
to new heights.

Visual Information Bar and Touch Controls

New touch controls offer quick access to the most common functions but disappear when not in
use to minimise distractions. The Visual Information Bar displays key velocity, damper pedal
depth, or a silent metronome, offering insights into your playing for more productive and informed
practice sessions.

Bluetooth Audio and MIDI Capabilities

Seamlessly integrate the AP-550 into your digital world with Bluetooth Audio and MIDI. Stream
audio from your smart device and play along to your favourite songs. Connect to online tutorials
(including free lessons from the Casio Music Academy) or use Casio’s free Music Space app to
control the functions and settings of the AP-550 wirelessly.
