KAWAI NV10S

The Novus NV10S is an upgraded hybrid piano that incorporates the latest technology with a tradition dating back over several centuries. With a real damper mechanism, a high-quality keyboard and seven unique surround-sound speakers, you'll feel like you're playing a classical 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 make you wonder 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 NV10S 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 emit 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 void, their lifespan will be greatly extended as well. 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 NV10S is the authentic sound of the acclaimed Shigeru Kawai SK-EX concert grand piano, which has become a legendary instrument 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 4x10cm, 2x1.4cm and 1x20cm speakers with up to 135W of power, so you can easily fill a medium-sized concert hall with your tunes. For night players, the Novus NV10S is of course also equipped with a headphone output, as good neighbourly relations are priceless. There are also ten piano modes and six reverb modes to choose from, so you'll always have a sound that pleases your ear. Plus, the flexible Virtual Technician feature lets you adjust your sound through up to 21 parameters.

An old look with modern technology
At first glance, you wouldn't know it wasn'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 the feeling of playing. 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. The package also includes a subscription to the PianoRemote mobile apps for setting up your sound directly from your device and PiaBookPlayer with thousands of sheet music and educational programs for beginner and advanced pianists.
