CELVIANO Grand Hybrid reproduces even subtle nuances of the world's most respected pianos. Three pianos that originate in Berlin, Hamburg and Vienna were chosen for this project. CASIO has painstakingly researched and analyzed the unique characteristics of each piano. CELVIANO Grand Hybrid delivers brilliant sound of these pianos reproduced with CASIO's advanced technology. It will provide the experience of owning three of the finest pianos on earth. A balanced, elegant sound. Ideal for playing impressionistic music. Notable for its clear, ringing tone across the entire range. A brilliant, rich sound. Loved by pianists for its wide range of expression. Well suited for various playing styles and genres. Noted for its impressive low range. Great for both soft and vigorous playing with its warm tone. An ideal instrument for music from the classical period. The Berlin Grand sound was developed in collaboration with C. Bechstein. CASIO sought a clear, balanced and elegant sound for CELVIANO Grand Hybrid. D282, C. Bechstein's ultimate masterpiece, is the model CASIO intensively studied to achieve the goal. Mr. Albrecht, Service Director and Master Piano Maker at C. Bechstein, visited CASIO R&D to supervise the sound development process through the final modification. The CELVIANO Grand Hybrid incorporates AiR Grand Sound Source, a newly developed system using CASIO's state-of-the-art sound technologies. It includes many impressive features. Multi-dimensional Morphing delivers smooth changes between soft and strong playing. Acoustic Simulator reproduces the characteristics of sounds produced by acoustic grand pianos. The authenticity generated by the AiR Grand Sound Source ensures a pure piano experience. The lengths of the lingering sounds produced by a grand piano vary depending on the speed at which players release their fingers after pressing the keys. In a similar fashion, CASIO's Key Off Simulator controls the length of these sounds based on the key's release speed. This enables players to express delicate nuances when playing staccato and legato. Finish: White
