Casio AP-470 WE Celviano

Hochwertige Verarbeitung und schneller Aufbau lassen den Wunsch eines Digitalpianos schnell Wirklichkeit werden.

Die Verarbeitung und das Spielgefühl der Tasten ist seh gut - die gewichtete Tastatur lässt sich exzellent spielen. Der Klang ist hervorragend und kommt durch die 2 x 20 Watt sehr gut und voll rüber.

Das Anfassgefühl der Tasten ist sehr gut, leicht rau und dadurch sehr griffig.

Einstellungen für Hammerresponse und Saitenresonanzen sind stufenweise durchzuführen, ebenso kann man verschiedene Hall-Typen auswählen.
Beim Spielen kann man auch noch den Gehäusedeckel öffen, was dann ebenfalls den Klang noch mal beeindruckend prägt (Abstrahlung auch direkt in Richtung des Klavierspielers.

Wenig zusätzliche Knöpfe, aber gut durch Kombination einer Funktionstaste und der Klaviatur in der Bedienung.

Drei Pedale mit guter Funktionalität, das rechte Pedal mit stufenloser Haltefunktion und sogar das Geräusch beim treten des Pedals (simuliert das Abheben der Hämmer von den Saiten) kommt authentisch rüber.

Zwei gute Flügelklänge - durch die AIR Klangerzeugung sind auch keine hörbaren Sampleschleifen bei lang ausgehaltenen Tönen (rechtes Pedal) hörbar - sehr gut.

Über Kopfhörer auch kein Rauschen oder ähnliches (zwei Kopfhöreranschlüsse)

App Chordana für Piano ist sehr einfach in der Bedienung, damit kann man dann auch noch das Piano deutlich umfangreicher einstellen (bei uns in Kombination mit IPad + Adapterkabel auf USB)

Alles in allem für knapp 1000 Euro ein sehr gutes Digitalpiano - was eigentlich keine Wünsche offen lässt - und sich neben den ebenfalls etablierten Yamaha oder Kawai Geräten nicht verstecken muss.

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.

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.
