Bring on the piano concert!

The Casio AP-470 WE Celviano digital piano in white delivers an impressive array of upright and grand piano sounds courtesy of its extremely rich polyphony features and multi-dimensional AiR sound generation, which offer comparatively numerous sounds emitted from two powerful speakers. Thanks to an extensive range of features, further sound refinements are possible, including four levels of stereophonic sound that simulate a grand piano with its lid open. The Casio AP-470 WE Celviano can also be operated by app if required, and songs can be recorded as MIDI or WAV files, or imported from a computer.

Digital piano with grand piano sound

The Casio AP-470 WE Celviano features 22 tones, including two grand piano variants. The 255-voice polyphony creates an extraordinary sound experience that fills the room from two powerful 20W speakers, or can be delivered through headphones via two 6.3mm jack sockets. Numerous other features boasted by this model include string resonance and a key-off function, while the Split, Layer, and Duet modes enable varied playing arrangements in addition to parallel learning. The built-in audio recorder can record 99 songs, each up to a sonata-friendly length of 25 minutes, as MIDI files and exchange them with a computer via a USB port. WAV files in turn are recorded and played via the USB flash drive. And anyone wishing to explore the finer points of the AP-470 by app can do so on a tablet or smartphone using the Android or iOS operating system.

For hobbyists and pros alike

The Casio AP-470 delivers a pleasing sound and playing experience for both beginners and advanced players, providing realistic sounds that will delight anyone entering the world of piano playing. The hammer action keyboard has an authentic feel and, in the same way as an upright or grand piano, the sound is heard on striking and releasing the keys. The spatial sound experience is further enhanced by opening the piano lid. Advanced players will benefit from the transposition and tuning functions, while numerous effects such as brilliance and reverb can also be incorporated, and 60 upright piano and orchestral pieces can be accessed via the integral music library. The Concert Play function also allows pianists to play along with an orchestral accompaniment.

About Casio

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.

An orchestral accompaniment

The Casio AP-470 WE Celviano is assembled using a crosshead screwdriver. The pedals in turn are wired into the corresponding socket behind the rear panel, and the power connection is established by inserting the included mains cable into the connection on the underside of the base where, incidentally, the inputs for the headphones can also be found. When not in use, the headphones can simply be hung on the bracket provided. For anyone wishing to play the piano part of a song with an orchestral accompaniment, this can now be achieved in just a few simple steps by scrolling through the titles while holding down the Function key, selecting a title, and activating the Concert Play function – and voila, the orchestra is ready to play! The AP-470 is conveniently adjusted to the required sound level using a volume synch equalizer, rendering the low frequencies of this digital piano pleasantly sonorous even at low volume.

overall excelent piano for beginners
PENEDO 09.05.2019
Before this piano, I only owned a very old basic keyboard, and therefore the upgrade step was obviously huge for my personal case.
Not being a professional player and having only played a couple of times in a Acoustic Piano, I can still tell that the key feeling is impressively similar. You can also tell that the texture in the surface of the keys makes a lot of difference when playing with sweaty hands (which is my case).
Also the sound reproduction is quite realistic and the only thing I would criticize as a minor issue is that I would still expect a bit more power when the volume is at its maximum level for some pianos, but still, the sound volume is still more than enough for the player. On the other hand, the rock piano for example, plays with great intensity and I would not complain about the sound volume on that one.
Regarding sound fidelity, my impression is that the bass sounds are really good, but the extreme acute sounds are not able to keep up with the same throughput/quality. Still, the overall sound quality is excellent for such an entry level piano.
The piano is also really easy to to setup and to use. The Chordana APP is not only practical, but also very intiutive to use, but beware that you need to have a up to date android version, as the APP does not support older versions of it.
The original piano packaging was carefully done and the setup of the piano itself is relatively easy, although you may need a set of extra-hands to help, as the piano is quite heavy to move around.
The only unexpected "surprise" that I had was that, when testing the piano for the first time, one of the keys was playing much louder than the others, no matter how gentle you would play it. However, after some intensive usage of that specific key only, it actually came back to normal volume and it has been working fine ever since.
Overall I'm very pleased with the piano and I would totally recommend this piano and I would definitely buy it again.

Zlatko S 08.08.2021
The sound is nice, color and everything. We bouthg it for our daughter to practice and have it for her piano lessons.

only negative thing is that one C note is much louder than others and this is happening only when its added to piano. with other sounds this is heard normal.

Perfect match for my family
Denys_ 28.10.2024
I’d like to start my review by addressing what I found disappointing, which mostly relates to the delivery process. Delivery took almost two weeks, and the last message I received from the store simply stated that the item was shipped. There was no additional information, like a tracking number or the fact that I would have to bring the piano up to my apartment myself from the street.

Only after 10 days, when I reached out to inquire about my order, did they inform me that the delivery would only be to the building entrance. I was shocked by this news, as I couldn’t imagine how I’d manage to move a 74kg package on my own. Unfortunately, the store never responded to my question about this. Honestly, I didn’t expect such service in this day and age. If it weren’t for the promise I made to my daughter, I would’ve refused the delivery and requested a refund. Be cautious when ordering and make sure to confirm all details upfront.

Now, about the instrument itself: everything was packed securely and arrived in perfect condition. The quality of the materials impressed me; it’s very well-made. The appearance is elegant and fits beautifully in our room. As for the sound—it’s outstanding. It’s rich and resonant, and by adjusting the lid, you can make it sound much like an acoustic piano. The speakers are so powerful that we only use them at 40% volume. With this instrument, you could easily hold small concerts. The keys are highly responsive and have graded touch sensitivity. The features are standard, but they’re more than sufficient for learning or playing at a good level. I highly recommend this instrument. Casio truly met my expectations.
