Casio Romero Britto Limited-Edition CT-S1 Digital Keyboard

Casio Music UK has announced that it will release a Casiotone digital keyboard developed in collaboration with world-renowned visual artist Romero Britto – named the CT-S1FH.

Romero Britto is a leading artist in today’s pop art scene. He has created a vivid, iconic, and unique style that fuses Cubism and Pop. Britto has been described as a modern-day Picasso due to the similarities between his innovative style and that of Picasso’s.

This collaboration was born out of the common ground shared by Casio’s philosophy of musical instruments and Britto’s philosophy about art. Casio seeks to make musical instruments accessible to more people so that everyone can enjoy music anywhere, while Romero Britto aims to make art easily relatable to everyone in daily life by expressing hope and happiness in his work with vibrant colours and bold patterns.

The new collaborative model will be based on the Casiotone CT-S1WE, which features a compact and minimalist design that blends well with everyday life. The warmth of the speaker fabric will be dynamically adorned with the vivid artwork of Romero Britto. The design is intended to allow users to place the keyboard in their room as if displaying a piece of artwork – a way of adding colour to their life. The uncompromising sound, driven by the AiX sound source with its rich expressiveness and the slim yet powerful acoustic system, will offer exciting musical experiences to family and friends, making it easy for them to enjoy playing music together.

Romero Britto commented: “The artwork I created for the Casiotone came from the inspiration of music. Every time I listen to music, it makes me feel energised, makes me feel happy, and makes me want to create even more artwork. So I invite you to make music anytime, anywhere, as you feel it – as vivid and as colourful as my art – with the new CT-S1FH. Enjoy the Britto and Casio collaboration!”

The new CT-S1FH, the first musical instrument produced in a collaboration between Romero Britto and Casio, is scheduled for release by the end of 2022. To see it first, visit the Casio Music booth (9130) at NAMM between 3-5 June 2022.
