HARMONY OF
SOUND AND SHAPE
Whereas the keyboard derives from the organ, the digital piano
is modeled upon the piano. Just like a piano, it features a keyboard with 88 keys, integrated scaled hammer mechanics create an absolutely genuine feel while playing.
Hence, the acoustic original is not only copied best possible with
regard to touch but also with respect to sound emulation quality. Employing highly modern sampling techniques, piano sounds
can today be designed which can easily pass a comparison with
the most beautiful grand piano sounds with regard to their natural and special sound properties.
CASIO digital pianos have since years been setting the standards
in the areas of touch and sound. They thereby prove themselves
to be top-notch electronic instruments, which give their owners
pleasure for a long time. The current range comprises three independent series, within which different models stand to choose

from. With this concept, CASIO can satisfy most diverse


demands. So which piano series will be able to catch your ear?

CELVIANO: Ageless home pianos who also perfectly quote


their classical examples visually. The ideal instrument for all
those seeking a genuine alternative to the acoustic piano.
STYLEPIANO:

Those seeking a trendsetting digital piano for


home will love this series. Cutting edge technology in an adequate outfit.

PRIVIA: The newest development by CASIO. A new class of


digital pianos with a compact design, clear sound, complete
equipment. And the prices are beyond competition.

WELCOME TO KEYS AND TRENDS


Naturally Scaled Hammer Action Keyboard

We can only make our dreams come true if we decide to awaken out of them.
This quotation by French singer and dancer Josephine Baker (1906-75) is here meant to encourage all key players to make their
dreams be they large, be they small come true. Choosing the right instrument is the first important step on the way.
In our current product catalogue you will find 25 key instruments and 2 electronic drums. In all models, the prominent know how of
CASIO as a highly successful producer of digital pianos and keyboards is concentrated. We have structured our catalogue in the following manner in order for you to find your instrument comfortably:

Part 1: Digital Pianos (pages 0309)


Those who love classical music and especially wish to play piano music usually settle for a modern
digital piano. It has 88 keys and a scaled hammer-action keyboard. Several dynamic levels allow
for differentiated play and make every interpretation come alive.

Part 2: Keyboards (pages 1017)


Because of their multitude of sounds and the built-in accompaniments they feature, keyboards are
interesting for all those who wish to play music in the most diverse compositions and styles. Be
it with a complete band for accompaniment or as a solo player, be it country music or samba the
possibilities are virtually limitless.

Part 3: Key lighting instruments (pages 1825)


For them, who wish to achieve first learning successes on their own, lighting guide keyboards are

Concertmaster

High-quality samples emulate the sound nuances
of an acoustic grand piano. The repetitive performance of the keys is excellent due to the Naturally
Scaled Hammer Action keyboard. And the autoaccompaniment boasts expressive sound timbres,
accompaniment rhythms and auto-accompaniment functions which convey the feeling of playing in the middle of an orchestra. In addition, even
beginners will soon be able to play their first piano
sonata, supported by the lighting guide technology included in the instrument. A repertoire which
offers quality and diversity alike. But best you

Acoustic or
Digital Piano?
A piano or, preferably, an electronic alternative?

wish taking up piano playing again yourself, then
the question concerning the right instrument arises. The following points are in favour of a digital piano:
cheaper to purchase and to maintain (no
tuning costs)
can be set up anywhere, regardless of the
room climate
relative mobility and portability
thanks to the volume control and headphones,
the neighbours will not be disturbed
more diversity due to the different tones
special features such as metronome, additional sounds and effects, key transpose, lighting
keys etc.

Light Guided Learning


As a special extra, every AL-100R is deliver-

First Choice

AL100-R is an ensemble piano in a class of its own;


its acoustic and haptic properties interpret the classic original close to perfectly. The top model of the
CELVIANO series bundles up the know how CASIO
has acquired in the field of lighting guide education.
Each of the 88 scaled keys can additionally light red
or yellow. The player follows the light signals with
the fingers of his right or left hand, thus learning
how to play by and by. Beside the three lesson
levels, three different arrangement levels can be
chosen for many of the 80 tunes. Depending upon
proficiency, the songs are played in different
degrees of difficulty. Additional playing aides such
as the hand position guide, the on-screen fingering
guide or the voice fingering guide support the practice of fingerings and hand position. AL-100R simply a landmark and beyond competition. The top
features in short: 88 scaled lighting keys (hammer
action), 271 ZPI sounds, 100 rhythms, microphone
input, incl. song book

AL-100R makes great classics come alive

ed with the CASIO book for Light Guided


Learning. This practical lesson collection
conveys musical theory, playing technique
and instrument operation in a straightforward manner. By combining simple rehearsal songs and exercises with the educationally tested lesson steps of
the lighting guide technonees learn how to play
the piano autodidactically from the very
beginning on a topnotch instrument.

LEVEL 1: Rehearsal of time and tempo

LEVEL 2: Learning the right key succession

LEVEL 3: Playing normal speed

At the first level, the player follows the


melody which is indicated by the lighting
keys. Even if the wrong key is pressed,
the right note will sound. Thus, the player
can concentrate fully on the rhythm.

Here the player must play the right key for


the melody. Help comes from the display
or the voice fingering guide. The accompaniment will wait, until the right key is hit.

On level 3, the student is the solo player


and must play freely together with the
perfect accompaniment. He is supported
by the lighting keys, which show the
melody succession in original tempo.

AL-100R

logy, beginners and retur-

Many of the lighting guide instruments


made by CASIO have an extra sing-along
function. By activating the Sing Along
button, the volume of the melody is reduced to facilitate vocal accompaniment. In
this manner, playing and singing skills are
trained alike.

LEVEL 1

INTELLIGENT
LESSON SYSTEMS
Whenever the expression Lighting Guide is dropped, everyone automatically thinks of

field of visual lesson systems. The principle of colourfully lighting keys was introduced
by CASIO in 1996 and has continuously been improved since, time and again setting
the standards in the music market. Currently with LK-90TV. The instrument can be connected to a television screen via a video line and the scores awarded by the interactive
lesson system are easily to be read from the TV screen.

With the lighting guide educational system, CASIO addresses beginners and returnees,
who wish to accomplish their first progress on their own. The 3-level, educationally
tested design of the visual lesson system spells fast success. Simply select a rehearsal
song from the song bank and off you go: The instrument explains itself while you play it!

LEVEL 3

Shining Example
PL-40R brightens up learning efforts
Play nicer and learn to play in a nicer way:
As the only STYLEPIANO in the world,
PL-40R is equipped with an extended
CASIO lesson system featuring lighting
keys. The three-level Advanced Lesson
System offers 70 complete tunes to be
rehearsed in different levels of difficulty.
Step by step, the player approaches his
individual repertoire while experiencing,
how much pleasure there is in learning how
to play an instrument on ones own.
Romantic piano ballads, demanding jazz
standards or loungy bar classics PL-40R
simply makes them more pleasurable to
play. The top features in short: 88 scaled
lighting keys (hammer action), autoaccompaniment, 2 loudspeakers, USBMIDI, 100 one-touch presets

(Stand optional, Pedal included)

ZPI-Sound-Chip
ZPI (Zygotech Polynominal Interpolation) sound
generation produces realistic sounds as clear
as glass. This sound quality is produced
thanks to optimized data compression and
wave form reproduction. The wave form production through polynominal extrapolation is
based upon a new calculus, which smoothens
the leaps and edges between the sample
points in the digital-analogue converter. In this
manner, an undistorted and even more harmonic sound characteristic is achieved.

The new HL Dual Elements sound chip (Highly
