Where it sits
Its price class holds 55 digital pianos between €630 and €2,400 (EU street prices) – the Casio AP-S450 sits in the middle there. The Casio PX-S6000 from the same brand sits around €85 above it – but with only one pedal instead of three. At a comparable price the comparison also lists Kawai CN-201 and Kawai CX-202.
Strengths & limits
In its favour
- 88 weighted keys with hammer action – the fingers learn the right force from day one
- Wooden keys instead of plastic – closer to an acoustic piano
- Three pedals (damper, sostenuto, soft) are included
- Bluetooth for apps and a wireless connection
Against it
- A piece of furniture with a fixed place – needs assembly, and moving it takes two people
