Kawai CN-29 W

The touch of an acoustic piano
The new responsive Hammer III keyboard mechanics (3 sensors, escape simulation, weighted hammers and counterweight on each key) recreates the touch of a grand piano. Without spring, this mechanism allows a realistic and stable movement and a natural and fluid interpretation.

The 3-sensor key sensing system increases response and accuracy while structural improvements within the mechanics help minimize noise and horizontal key swing during fortissimo and staccato passes.

The weight of the keyboard is graduated to reflect the heaviness of the bass hammers and the lightness of the treble hammers of an acoustic piano, while the escape simulation recreates the perceived click when you very lightly press the keys of a piano tailed. These features allow pianists to repeat the tracks in their repertoire with confidence and guarantee no unpleasant surprises when they play acoustic pianos.

The excellent balance of weighted hammers and counterweights helps to lighten the touch of the keyboard when pianissimo passages and produce a powerful sound when the keys are hit more strongly.

The CN29 incorporates by default high-end Ivory touch key surfaces. This fine-textured material absorbs perspiration and finger sebum for improved feel and has a natural, matte, soft, non-slippery finish. Moisture is absorbed by avoiding the infiltration of dirt or grease on the surface, allowing the keys to be cleaned with a damp cloth.

A professional sound
The Sound of an Acoustic Piano: With the Progressive Harmonic Imaging technique, the sound of each of the 88 keys has been individually sampled from the prestigious Kawai-EX concert piano to ensure even more accurate reproduction of the acoustic source.

Each key is also recorded at different volumes, from pianissimos to fortissimos. The CN29 offers a very detailed acoustic portrait thanks to this unique sampling technology that guarantees smooth tonal transitions across the keyboard and dynamic range. The effects and reverb options enhance the musical interpretation and reflect the sound projection of an acoustic piano.

Finally, the CN29's Virtual Technician functions numerically simulate the various tuning and tuning possibilities of acoustic pianos, allowing musicians to shape different aspects of the piano's character to suit their personal preferences, before saving favorite settings in the piano. memory. CN29's Dual and Four Hands game modes let you combine different sounds or split the keyboard into two sections to play duets.

A personal assessment tool for pianists of all levels, the CN29's recorder allows you to store up to 3 songs in the internal memory and play them at the touch of a button.
