“I am thrilled to be the brand ambassador for these incredible, dynamic, game-changing instruments developed by Casio – the Celviano Grand Hybrid pianos. If a person desires the qualities of a grand piano (or even more than one) but doesn’t own a manor house to place it in, the Celviano Grand Hybrid is your answer.” – Simon Tedeschi
The Casio Celviano Grand Hybrid range is the perfect combination of innovation and tradition. Developed in collaboration with C. BECHSTEIN, Casio has introduced a game changer – offering an acoustic grand piano action, response and feel, with the benefits of a digital piano.
Casio Celviano Grand Hybrid features at a glance:
Made with full-length wooden concert grand piano keys, using the same materials and processes as the C. Bechstein concert grand pianos.
* Hamburg (Steinway)
* Vienna (Bosendorfer)
* 32 other sounds (23 on GP300)
* 6 x speakers, 2 amps
* Arrayed vertically (up/down) for acoustic grand piano soundboard-like experience and sound-field
