GP-510BP
This model is the flagship of the CELVIANO Grand Hybrid series, representing premium sound quality and features.
The Perfect Combination of Innovation and Tradition
The Celviano Grand Hybrid series combines the traditional technology of acoustic grand pianos with state-of-the-art digital sound generation. To achieve this, the essential physical characteristics of the keyboard and mechanics of an acoustic grand piano are successfully transferred to a hybrid digital piano and paired with CASIO's innovative sound technology. The new generation of the Celviano Grand Hybrid series features a new speaker system that delivers a particularly rich and authentic sound experience.

- Three of the world’s greatest grand pianos with incredibly detailed resonance and longer, more natural decay time for more sustained notes
- Enhanced touch response with wider dynamic range
- Newly-upgraded six-speaker sound system
- Full-length Austrian spruce piano keys
- Scene feature for saving/recalling favorite settings
- Elegant cabinet with distinguished black polished finish and gold accents
Three Legendary Grand Pianos
CELVIANO Grand Hybrid reproduces even subtle nuances of the world's most respected pianos. Three pianos that originate in Berlin, Hamburg and Vienna were chosen for this project. Casio has painstakingly researched and analysed the unique characteristics of each piano.
Berlin
A balanced, elegant sound. Ideal for playing impressionistic music. Notable for its clear, ringing tone across the entire range.
Hamburg
A brilliant, rich sound. Loved by pianists for its wide range of expression. Well suited for various playing styles and genres.
Vienna
Noted for its impressive low range. Great for both soft and vigorous playing with its warm tone. An ideal instrument for music from the classical period.
Sound Development in Collaboration
The Berlin Grand sound was developed in collaboration with C. Bechstein. Casio sought a clear, balanced and elegant sound for CELVIANO Grand Hybrid. D282, C. Bechstein's ultimate masterpiece, is the model Casio intensively studied to achieve the goal. Mr Albrecht, Service Director and Master Piano Maker at C. Bechstein, visited Casio R&D to supervise the sound development process through the final modification.
About C. Bechstein
Since Carl Bechstein founded the Pianoforte production facility in Berlin in 1853, the name C. Bechstein has stood for the highest class of upright and grand pianos. C. Bechstein pianos have been appreciated by many famous composers and artists for their finest quality of sound and touch for many years. In the 21st Century, C. Bechstein is still recognised as one of the world's leading piano manufacturers.
Natural Grand Hammer Action Keyboard
For an authentic piano touch, Casio has developed a new keyboard system called the "Natural Grand Hammer Action Keyboard". This keyboard system features full-length wooden keys as well as hammers that follow the same path of motion as in a concert grand piano. CELVIANO Grand Hybrid features keys that are manufactured using exactly the same materials as acoustic grand piano. Careful attention is paid not only to finish of the surfaces of the keys but also to the quality of the wood employed for the key beds. This combination of an outstanding action mechanism and superior-quality key materials further enhances the sensation of playing an acoustic grand piano.
- Original Tri-Sensor action mechanism
The core of CELVIANO Grand Hybrid's keyboard performance is created by Casio's proprietary action mechanism. This mechanism includes a hammer movement modelled from a grand piano and three sensors, which accurately capture performer expression from the keys. Since there are no physical strings, Casio's action is able to exceed the performance characteristics of a grand piano, providing superior playability that enables pianists to perform such actions as trills and repetitive notes with ease.
- Keyboard surface materials
The use of acrylic for the white keys and phenol for the black keys — the same materials that modern grand pianos employ. This creates a welcome and familiar touch. Pianists will feel comfortable and confident on the keys of CELVIANO Grand Hybrid.
- Fulcrum distance from keys
The position of the fulcrum with respect to the keys is exactly the same as with a grand piano. This contributes to stable playing performance, since the touch is never heavier or lighter depending on the position at which a finger strikes a key.
Grand Acoustic System
Our hearing goes beyond simply left and right, and we can detect the origin of sound in all directions. Using an exclusive six-speaker amplification system, the new Grand Acoustic System reproduces the three-dimensional sound field generated by an acoustic grand. The top speakers present sounds normally heard rising upwards, and the downward-facing speakers present sounds heard from below the soundboard. This simulation fills the room with rich, complex sound, reaching both the performer and the audience. The GP-510’s speaker system has become even more powerful than its predecessor, with larger drivers making even more effective use of the powerful built-in amplifiers.
Set the Scene
The GP-510’s Scene feature lets you save and recall a snapshot of many important settings including Tone selection, split/layer, Concert Hall, effects and more. Many preset Scenes are included. For example, select the “Debussy” Scene and you’ll be presented with his favorite piano, with appropriate resonance settings, placed in a venue where his music might be best appreciated.
