A Guide to Casio Digital Pianos

Casio has been a leading light in the world of digital pianos and keyboards for over 40 years, beginning with the release of the Casiotone 201 (CT-201) in 1980. Compact, lightweight and intuitive—with its own built-in speaker and 29 onboard sounds—Casio’s CT-201 was an innovative and inspiring 49-key instrument, offering both experienced musicians and beginners a new means of expression.In 1988, Casio launched its first hammer-action digital piano—the CDP-3000. This model introduced the rich sound and unmistakable feel of acoustic pianos to players’ living rooms and bedrooms with its scaled-down footprint. The CDP-3000 also laid the foundation for subsequent evolutions of the brand’s celebrated digital pianos.

By 1991, Casio introduced yet another groundbreaking digital piano with the Celviano AP-7. The name comes from blending the words cerveau (French for “brain”), electronics and piano, implying it was an advanced, intelligent instrument for a new era. The Celviano series remains known for its immersive sound and realistic acoustic-piano feel.

Casio again turned the digital piano world on end in 2003, releasing the Privia PX-100—at the time, the world’s most compact model of its kind. The “private piano” promised fulfilling acoustic sound and playability in a remarkably portable package for players tight on space. And again, it was a hit.

Today, Casio digital pianos continue to be among the best sounding, expressively playable and incredibly versatile instruments available. We’ve carefully curated a list of Casio’s current standout offerings, frequently preferred by discerning keyboardists and pianists demanding the ultimate in performance and features.
