New York, NY (Top40 Charts / Casio America, Inc.) While August can mean the end of summer and start of back-to-school shopping, it also marks a time of celebration with
National Family Fun Month. Leading electronic music manufacturer, Casio America, Inc., is taking part by encouraging musical celebrations nationwide. According to a study conducted by Frontiers in Psychology, social harmony is higher within families when young people listen to music with their family members.
Music acts as "social glue" providing a sense of unity, bringing individuals together1. Whether your family is jamming out on a keyboard or singing along to their favorite tunes, Casio's new Compact Grand PianoTM, the CGP-700, offers tons of fun features the entire family can enjoy.
"One of music's greatest gifts is its ability to inspire people to come together and Casio is proud to offer a range of digital pianos and keyboards that enable families to do so," said Stephen Schmidt, Vice President of Casio's Electronic Musical Instrument Division. "Our newest addition, the CGP-700, is a family-friendly instrument that helps to guide both beginners and advanced musicians alike to musical success."
The CGP-700 is equipped with Casio's latest technological achievement, the
Color Touch InterfaceTM, which features a premium icon-based 5.3" touch display with 168,960 pixels. This bright, clear and easy-to-use interface allows musicians to choose tones, select rhythms, split and layer sounds, and more. The CGP-700 also features Casio's superior engineering and world-class Tri-Sensor 88-note scaled hammer action keyboard with simulated ebony and ivory keys which has resulted in the authentic piano feel that musicians expect in a grand piano. In addition, the CGP-700 incorporates a new, unique 3-way sound system with 40 watts of total amplification. Four speakers are located in the top of the CGP-700 which provides a rich stereo experience, and two additional speakers are located in the included stand to provide the low frequencies to handle instruments like bass and drums with ease.
