Casio Celviano AP-S450BK Slim Console Digital Piano Black

The Celviano AP-S450 digital piano from Casio provides an authentic acoustic piano experience in a slim, elegant design. Powered by proprietary Casio AiR Sound Source technology, the AP-S450BK recreates the legendary tones of Hamburg and New York concert grand pianos with incredible realism and detail. Smart Hybrid Hammer Action keys respond smoothly from pianissimo to fortissimo, while advanced binaural sampling and DSP create immersive simulated acoustics. Despite its svelte profile, the AP-S450 generates room-filling, emotionally moving piano sound. This model features a black finish.

Hamburg and New York Concert Grand Piano Sounds

Casio engineers meticulously analyzed and measured multiple concert grand pianos to develop the AP-S450's AiR sound engine. Capturing the unique tonal characteristics and resonances of renowned Hamburg and New York instruments, AiR faithfully reproduces the rich, complex overtones of these acoustic icons. From the crystal-clear brilliance of staccato passages to the lush reverberation of sustain pedal chords, the AP-S450BK transports you to the concert hall. With 256-note polyphony, even dense Liszt or Rachmaninoff won't overwhelm this digital piano, and there are 26 total patches, including organs and strings, to cover an array of sonic territory.

Advanced Binaural Sampling and DSP

Casio developed its new binaural sampling and digital signal processing algorithms to achieve unprecedented realism in digital piano ambience. Based on the way sounds reach our left and right ears in three-dimensional space, binaural sampling captures the distinctive acoustics of world-famous venues like Berlin's Philharmonie. DSP further enhances the immersive experience by simulating reverb tail diffusion, early reflections and other acoustic properties—those which are subtle, and those more pronounced. The Casio AP-S450's authentic hall ambience transports you to the stage of a distinguished concert venue.
