Compare the tone and power of the low A on the Novus 10s with the low A on a Kawai concert grand and it will be clear what a marvelous creation the Novus is. Powerful enough to fill a mid-size hall without additional amplification, this piano provides big grand-piano sound and responsive grand touch in a vertical cabinet. Kawai developed this model with the high-end audio company, Onkyo, to deliver incredible depth, warmth, and dynamic range.
The Kawai touch display is the most elegant interface to date. Sound selections are represented by beautifully rendered images of the various instruments, enabling the user to scroll through dozens of grand pianos, organs and orchestral instruments.

This is the feature that makes Kawai Hybrid pianos able to satisfy the most discerning musicians. Just as a concert pianist consults with a master technician to make fine adjustments to the touch and tone of a concert grand piano, the Kawai user consults the Virtual Technician to customize the piano sound to taste. Standard adjustments for lighter and heavier touch and brighter or mellower tone are just the beginning. The Virtual Technician regulates hammer and key release …more
This piano is always in tune and therefore always ready to train students' ears to recognize proper pitch. Because the sound is recorded from a concert grand piano and processed digitally, it is impossible for this piano to go out of tune. The added benefit is, of course, that there is NO TUNING OR MAINTENANCE COST after purchase.
In addition to training a student's fingers, a student's feet must learn to properly operate the pedals. This piano's THREE METAL PEDALS are the same size and proportion as those found on a grand piano. Each pedal has it's own UNIQUE RESISTANCE FACTOR that accurately trains proper pedaling muscle memory. Portable keyboards and lower end digital pianos do not feel the same.
Included with this piano is a bench that is set to the proper height for the keyboard, promoting good posture and technique. Too often, portable keyboards are put on adjustable stands that are too high or too low. Students that practice for extended periods of time under these conditions never develop proper technique and SOMETIMES SUFFER INJURY from having their wrists in the wrong position.
