Casio Celviano AP-470 digital piano

An ideal digital piano model for the beginner to intermediate player, the new Casio AP-470 digital piano is a seriously good value instrument. It is a big leap forward in sound quality over the previous model AP-460, with two new grand piano sounds taken from Steinway and Bechstein instruments. In an attractive cabinet available in black or white, the AP-470 has a powerful 2 x 20 watt amplification system with 4 speakers and a lifting lid to enhance its projection, and the sound quality is very impressive indeed. Casio's new Chordana Play app for Android and iOS can be used with the AP-470 too, via a camera connection kit and cable, and can help you learn to play the AP-470's built in song selection. It also acts as a remote control allowing you to adjust the settings and select different voices.

The new Casio Celviano AP-470 comes highly recommended for the student musician and is available now.
