Connect seamlessly with class-compliant USB-MIDI or utilize the included WU-BT10 Bluetooth MIDI & audio adapter for wireless connectivity.

Action
The Casio AP-750 features an unparalleled touch-to-sound experience thanks to the Celviano Edition Smart Hybrid Hammer Action keys. These keys redefine the connection between touch and sound, captivating players with an award-winning design that mirrors the authentic feel of a concert grand piano. Designed using both spruce and resin, the keys offer a natural response, faithfully reproducing the unique hammer performance of each of the 88 keys.
The use of fine-grained spruce improves the keys’ durability, density, and balance, while enhancing their visual appeal and authenticity of feel. Advanced damping materials ensure quiet key movement, allowing for truly undisturbed performances. This is particularly useful for players that practice in the evening and reside with others. With the Casio AP-750’s meticulously crafted action, pianists can expect an immersive and responsive playing experience that mirrors the nuances of a traditional acoustic piano.
Sound Engine
At the heart of the Casio AP-750’s exceptional sound is the AiR Grand Sound Source, delivering a sophisticated range of features such as comprehensive resonance, key-off simulation, authentic mechanical sounds, and more. This technology goes beyond mere reproduction, capturing the nuances that define the authentic sound of a grand piano. Enhancing the auditory experience further are eight hall simulations (including a NYC club, a Berlin concert hall, a British stadium, and more) along with chorus, brilliance, and preset DSP effects, offering a customizable sonic landscape that adapts to your artistic vision.
The Casio AP-750 features a diverse selection of 39 tones, showcasing three legendary grand pianos: the newly recorded Hamburg concert grand, the Berlin grand developed in collaboration with C. Bechstein, and the celebrated Vienna grand with its distinctively impressive low range. These piano personalities cater to classical genres and contemporary styles alike, providing a rich palette for musical exploration. Beyond the grand piano realm, the AP-750’s onboard sounds extend to essential instruments like electric pianos, organs, strings, and more, inviting musicians to embark on an exciting journey of musical exploration.
The Casio AP-750’s Grandphonic sound is propelled by four discrete amplifiers, driving 40 watts of power to eight resin-core speakers strategically placed throughout its acoustic structure. This meticulous speaker placement ensures a spatially immersive experience, faithfully reproducing the resonance and clarity of each tone. This newly-developed speaker array is unquestionably one of the most impressive features of the model. Every region of the frequency spectrum is well-balanced and well-presented, which helps render Casio’s high-fidelity grand piano samples quite spectacularly. Simply put, this is one of the finest sounding digital pianos you will find in this price category.
