Kawai introduces the NV10S, the newest member of the Novus series of premium hybrid pianos. The updated model retains the industry-leading Millennium III grand and upright piano keyboards and unique true damper action of its predecessor, while enhancing a number of sound and operating characteristics.
The Novus' enhanced SK-EX rendering multi-channel sound engine features improved acoustic piano samples with new Virtual Technician parameters for precise control over the attack, release, and sustain characteristics of each piano. The updated hybrid pianos retain the high-fidelity audio processing and powerful amplification of the original pianos, while the instruments' overall speaker systems have been improved.
