About Casio
Many players here at Sweetwater remember our first Casio keyboards. They were the inexpensive instruments we got as children — often our first taste of what the keyboard world had in store. As we grew up, so did our Casio keyboards, and we, like many of our customers, adopted many of their portable arrangers and digital pianos. Today, we’re happy to recommend Casio products to a wide range of customers. From portable arranger keyboards to beautiful digital upright pianos, Casio has what you need to bring the music in your head to life.
The Casio Story
While the name “Casio” may conjure images of calculators, watches, digital cameras, and other electronics, the heritage behind this diversity is part of what makes Casio so unique. It all began in 1957 when Tadao Kashio founded the original Casio Computer company. He and his three brothers immediately set out to create an accessible and compact electric relay calculator, and the success of the Model 14-A set the trend for decades to come. In the ’80s, one of the Kashio brothers began to apply the philosophy behind Casio’s budget-friendly electronics division to musical instruments, and the rest is history.
Company Ethos
“Bringing happiness to people around the world by continuing to create the things that are most important to the users” is the message that Chairman Kazuhiro Kashio wants everyone to know about Casio. That motto is what has made Casio so successful and what has driven the company’s creativity since its inception in 1957. Whether it’s providing affordable and portable keyboards for beginners starting their musical journey or state-of-the-art and stylish digital keyboards for experienced musicians, Casio is there for you every step of the way.
Notable Products/Series
With the addition of series, including the Privia, Casiotone, Celviano, CTX, and others, Casio has taken their design philosophy to new levels. Some highlights include powerful multi-speaker sound systems, advanced keyboard action, large color touchscreens, and Casio’s exclusive AiR Sound Source, which delivers impressively realistic acoustic-piano sound. Whether you’re a singer/songwriter performing at a café or you’re composing a score for a movie, Casio has the digital keyboard to take your playing to the next level. As Casio keyboards continue to evolve, we’re continuously impressed by what they have to offer.
