Casio America Inc. added two new models to its digital piano lineup: the CDP-S150 and CDP-S350. Redefining value in digital pianos, the CDP-S models offer a range of features for beginner and professional musicians alike in a slim, lightweight design. Weighing in at under 25 pounds each, the CDP-S150 and CDP-S350 digital pianos offer a realistic piano sound and feel in modern and ultraportable design that can be powered by six AA batteries. The slim chassis features a scaled, weighted hammer-action keyboard with 88 full-size keys with simulated ebony and ivory textures. Both models are equipped with a stereo speaker system plus headphone output for quiet practice, and the included sustain pedal can be replaced by the SP-34 portable three-pedal unit for added piano authenticity. An optional wooden stand (CS-46P) and carrying case (SC-800) are also available. Both models have a class-compliant USB port that works with any Mac/PC/Android/iOS device, with no drivers needed. Players can use the free Chordana Play for Piano iOS/Android App to easily customize their CDP-S, learn their favorite MIDI songs, play back audio files with pitch/tempo control, view PDF scores and more, stated the company. The music rest included with both CDP-S models is designed to hold tablets or smartphones.
