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
