Description
The Casio AP-S450BKC5 is a slim console digital piano designed for players who want an authentic feel and sound without taking over the room.

Features
Authentic graded hammer action
The AP-S450BKC5 features a responsive graded hammer action that mirrors the heavier feel in the bass and lighter touch in the treble, encouraging correct finger strength and control. Textured key tops provide a secure grip under the fingers, helping you play with confidence during longer sessions. The action is carefully balanced to deliver smooth repetition and nuanced phrasing, so dynamics and articulation come through naturally whether you are tackling scales, sight reading or performing expressive repertoire.
Expressive piano tone
A thoughtfully voiced stereo piano sound gives a convincing sense of body and bloom, allowing you to shape lines from a gentle pianissimo to a full, ringing forte. Subtle resonance detail and sympathetic response help notes sit together musically, making chords sound rich and connected. The instrument remains articulate at lower volumes for late night practice, while still projecting clearly in a living room or small teaching space.
Integrated three pedal system
The fixed pedal board provides soft, sostenuto and damper pedals for proper classical and contemporary technique. The damper pedal supports nuanced partial pedalling, letting you blend harmonies and control decay just as you would on an acoustic piano. With the pedals always in the correct position and height, students develop good habits and can transfer skills directly to acoustic instruments used in lessons and exams.
Compact furniture design
A slim cabinet with a sliding key cover fits neatly against a wall and protects the keyboard when not in use. The elegant black finish complements modern and traditional interiors, while the stable stand provides a comfortable playing height. Thoughtful cable routing keeps things tidy, making the piano easy to place in a living room, bedroom or school practice room where space is at a premium.
Practice tools and simple connectivity
Built in practice aids include a metronome, duet mode for teacher and student at one instrument, and straightforward recording for reviewing progress. Layer and split options support creative practice and ensemble work. A headphone output enables silent practice, and USB connectivity lets you link to learning apps and notation software on a computer or tablet, keeping lessons and home practice connected and productive.
