CARLSBAD, Calif., Sept. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- On Saturday, September 10,
NAMM's Museum of Making Music (MoMM) celebrated the debut of Spotlight
on Casio, the latest addition to the museum's many exhibits and musical
instrument collections. Open now through January 29, 2017,
the new display chronicles Casio's 35 years of electronic music product
innovations and features notable instruments including its first
keyboard, the Casiotone CT-201; the AZ-1 classic "keytar"; the popular
Privia digital piano (PX-560); a full 88-key Grand Hybrid action sample;
and its newest digital piano, the CELVIANO Grand Hybrid. In addition to
the display, visitors will be able to play a Casio Privia PX-160 in the

The hands on playing
experience, along with the robust display of 14 Casio electronic musical
instruments, serves to connect the company's many innovations directly
with the public. It's a connection that underscores the mission of the
museum. "At the museum, we showcase the vibrant legacy of musical
instruments and seek to connect our visitors through a hands-on
approach," shared Carolyn Grant,
