Additional charges may apply. GP-510 GRAND HYBRID. THE NEW MASTERPIECE. The new GP-510 boasts significant enhancements in all areas, including new piano tones, with greater resolution than previous models for improved clarity and resonance. The new speaker system delivers greater dynamic force than ever before, capable of stunning contrasts in volume and expression, from the most delicate pianissimo through to the strongest fortissimo. Combined with the award-winning Natural Grand Hammer Action, the new Grand Hybrid models benefit from a new touch response system and a new pedal design, providing even greater precision than before. At the heart of the GP-510 is the revolutionary Natural Grand Hammer Action, combining full-length wooden keys (manufactured using the same Austrian spruce as that used by C. Bechstein) with moving hammers to provide an authenticity of touch that is far beyond any other digital piano. A PIANO IN EVERY SENSE Think of what made you fall in love when you first saw a piano. Was it the visible moving hammers that captivate an audience, or maybe the opening lid from where the beautiful tone emerges? Casio Grand Hybrid is the only hybrid digital piano to have these, in a compact and stylish design. INTELLIGENT DYNAMICS Further research in collaboration with C. Bechstein has given the new series of Grand Hybrids even greater pianistic realism. The new Grand Speaker System II has all new components and optimises the dynamic range for the chosen volume of the piano. The new Pedal Simulator provides even greater control over the damper pedal, allowing for a more realistic recreation of an acoustic piano mechanism. CONCERT PLAY The unique ‘Concert Play’ feature gives you command of an entire symphony orchestra, with an expandable library of favourite classical pieces to play along to. HALL SIMULATOR Using real acoustic measurements, the Hall Simulator recreates the ambience and character of 12 famous concert halls. Experience the thrill of listening to your performance in any of these unique acoustics. GRAND ACOUSTICS The new six-speaker Grand Acoustic 2 system delivers the power of an acoustic grand piano, whilst a Headphone Mode optimises the piano tone for silent practice. USB AUDIO RECORD AND PLAYBACK All Grand Hybrids are equipped with USB Audio Record and Playback. This means you can make audio recordings of your performances and play back commercially-available backing tracks via USB memory stick. Three Tones, One Piano BERLIN, VIENNA, HAMBURG IN ONE Every Grand Hybrid can emulate the sound of three prestigious European grand pianos: Berlin Grand A balanced, elegant sound. Ideal for playing impressionistic music. Vienna Grand A brilliant, rich sound. Loved for its wide range of expression. Hamburg Grand An impressive low range. A warm tone great for both soft & vigorous playing.
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.

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.
