Well, where do I start with this great addition to Casio’s Celvieno range of digital pianos , its fantastic. The sound quality is bigger and brighter than its little brother the Ap-270. This is due to the speaker system being nearly 3 times bigger, Casio have also added string resonance which really does add another dimension of authenticity to the sound of the piano. . The quality of the action with the 3 sensors per key is a joy to play, with great control of dynamics and expression. A nice feature on the Ap-470 is the ability to customise the piano sound to your own taste. A really useful feature I found was the Usb audio, where I could record my playing straight to a Usb stick !
The Ap-470 also has Casio’s Concert play feature on, giving you many of the great classicals played by a symphony orchestra, which you can play along to with the music scores you get with the piano. The piano has a total of 22 tones, with built in reverb settings. You can also combine any two sounds and split the keyboard if you wish.
With a sliding key cover and a lifting split top lid, for extra sound exspance and volume, standard 3 pedals, headphone sockets for silent private practice, and with a impressive 20w + 20w output. The Ap-470 gives more value for money than other digital pianos at this price point.
