History of Casio Keyboards The Casio brand was originally established on the 1st of June 1957 in Japan. Casio keyboards are produced primarily in Japan by the Shriro company. They can be found in almost all corners of the world, a true testament to their quality and appeal. In January 1980, the company released the Casiotone electronic keyboard, which was designed to be so easy and fun to play that anyone could learn it without any special training or rigorous practice. The objective of the Casiotone was not to create a keyboard with the typical electronic sound, but rather with tones that reproduced the sounds of the piano, organ, and guitar. The economic growth at that time in Japan had created a cultural mood characterized by a shift away from material toward spiritual pursuits, and the Casiotone was enthusiastically accepted by the market as a fun new way to enjoy music. Since this time, Casio Music products has become one of the major Music Product producers in the world. Casio’s corporate creed is "creativity and contribution." It expresses the company’s commitment to contributing to society by offering the kind of original, useful products that only Casio can. Products with innovative functions assist people in their daily lives and keep society moving forward. They also bring joy to people and help to create new culture. When even a single new product is widely adopted, whole new markets develop, and this in turn fosters growth in related industries. This is the story of Casio’s contribution to society — innovative products enhancing people’s lives. |
