Kawai Novus NV-5

The Novus NV5 is a new hybrid piano that combines the latest technology with a tradition dating back over several centuries. With a real damper mechanism, a high-quality keyboard and six unique TwinDrive soundbar speakers, you'll feel like you're playing a classic concert grand in a packed Rudolfinum. Kawai's developers collaborated with Onkyo, a Japanese company that manufactures high-quality audio equipment from amplifiers to powerful speakers and home theaters, to develop the sound. In addition to classic sounds and effects, the instrument includes a clear 5" LCD display and modern Bluetooth wireless technology for connecting mobile devices and tablets.

The touch and feel of an acoustic piano

The refined look and quality construction will leave you wondering if this really is a classic concert grand piano. When you touch the keyboard, you will melt away and the great surround sound will take you to a dream world where life flows according to your music. The Millennium III Hybrid keyboard is the highlight of this versatile instrument, which perfectly serves as a quality piano in concert halls, music classrooms or recording studios. Novus NV5 is nicknamed the "piano of the future" by the manufacturer because it is innovative and highly mobile. Thanks to the sensors, the hammers do not have to strike the heavy metal strings, but only tap the laser beam zone and then give a signal to the intuitive audio system. The hammers are also made of durable ABS plastic, and since they essentially direct their strikes into the fretboard, their lifespan is greatly extended. The 88 keys and realistic damper triple pedal will respond perfectly to your playing dynamics and key strikes.

The sound of an acoustic piano

At the heart of the Novus NV5 is the authentic sound of the acclaimed Shigeru Kawai SK-EX concert grand piano, which has become a legend and used by concert masters around the world. Inside the piano is a high-performance audio system from the Japanese brand Onkyo, whose home theaters can be found in many living rooms on every continent. The sound is reproduced through 4x8cm and 2x2cm speakers with up to 135W of power, so you can easily fill a medium-sized concert hall with your tunes. For night players, of course, the Novus NV5 is also equipped with a headphone output, as good neighbourly relations are unmissable. There are also ten piano modes and six reverb modes to choose from, so you'll always have a sound that pleases your ear.

An old look with modern technology

At first glance, you wouldn't know this isn't an acoustic piano. However, modern technology has pushed the possibilities of piano playing further and no longer just means a reduction in sound quality or playing feel. Today, modern technology allows you to study the piano via mobile apps, save your notes in notation software and, last but not least, manage all the instrument's settings from your mobile phone or via a control panel with a clear colour LCD display right next to the keyboard.
