Kawai NV 10

Combining Kawai’s finest Millennium III Hybrid grand piano keyboard action and real damper mechanism, with the latest SK-EX Rendering piano sound engine and premium amplification technologies powered by audio specialists Onkyo, the Novus NV10 delivers the most realistic grand piano playing experience ever accomplished by a digital instrument.

The Novus NV10 is the perfect blend of tradition and innovation. A stunning hybrid instrument that combines a full grand piano keyboard action and damper mechanism, with the latest digital sound and amplification technologies.

Designed for and tested by professional pianists, the NV10 provides the unmistakable feeling of playing a premium quality acoustic instrument, with all the practicality and convenience of a modern digital.

A quest for perfection

Koichi Kawai designed and built the first complete acoustic piano action in Japan in the early 1900s. In the decades that have followed, Kawai engineers continue to pursue the company founder’s quest for perfection, pioneering the use of state-of-the-art materials and designs that advance the piano art form.

The Millennium III grand piano action found in today’s Kawai GX series instruments exemplifies Koichi’s philosophy. This highly-coveted action incorporates components produced using ABS Carbon, an extremely sturdy and rigid composite material that allows these action parts to be stronger, lighter, and faster than their conventional wooden counterparts. In addition, Kawai GX series grand pianos also utilise extended-length key sticks, providing greater control and a more even response from the front to the back of the playing surface.

The future of the piano

The Millennium III Hybrid action represents the latest milestone in Kawai’s rich legacy of piano innovation, and serves as the centre-piece of the Novus NV10.

Based on the GX series’ proven action design, Millennium III Hybrid retains the composite parts and extended key sticks of its acoustic cousin, while replacing the traditional felt hammers with individually-weighted ABS equivalents. As a hybrid piano, there are no metal strings inside the Novus for these hammers to physically strike when the keys are played, therefore their precise movements are instead captured using high-resolution optical sensors mounted above the action.

Millennium III Hybrid delivers all of the benefits of a premium Kawai grand piano action within a digital instrument. This feat of modern engineering allows pianists of every level to enjoy the unmatched feeling of playing an acoustic grand piano, regardless of the time of day, or the size of their home.

Introducing the Novus NV10 – a hybrid instrument that delivers the true grand piano experience.

The soul of the piano

The dampers of an acoustic grand piano consist of soft felt pads that rest directly over the instrument’s metal strings, effectively muting their vibrations. As each piano key is pressed and the string is struck, the corresponding damper lifts off the string, allowing it to vibrate freely, and for the note to sing.

While the keyboard action activates dampers individually, the damper pedal is used to lift all of the piano’s dampers simultaneously. This allows all of the instrument’s strings to vibrate and resonate in sympathy, creating a wonderfully rich sound and sustaining notes even after their respective keys are released.

The damper mechanism therefore plays a pivotal role in influencing the overall sound of a piano. However, the process of raising and lowering dampers also has a subtle but noticeable effect on key touch, with the weight of the action gently easing when the damper pedal is depressed. This natural interaction between keyboard and pedals is a fundamental characteristic of every grand piano, and one that requires patience and skill to master.

Unprecedented realism

The Novus’ beautiful chrome plated pedals and exposed pedal rods are sourced from the same GX series instruments as the premium Millennium III keyboard action. Moreover, in addition to featuring a full grand piano action, the Novus NV10 is the first hybrid instrument to also incorporate a real grand piano damper mechanism.

Again, there are no metal strings inside the Novus to require physical damping, as the instrument’s sound is produced digitally. However, in order to reproduce every aspect of playing a grand piano, the NV10 retains the damper mechanism behind the keyboard action, with graded weights attached to each damper lever replicating the load of traditional wood and felt parts, as the keys and pedal are pressed.

This innovation allows pianists to not only hear how the damper pedal affects the Novus’ generated sound, but also feel the various mechanical interactions through their hands and feet. Such attention to detail is unprecedented in a digital instrument, and further reinforces the NV10’s objective of delivering a true grand piano playing experience that is indistinguishable from the real thing.

The premier piano of Japan

The spirit of the Shigeru Kawai SK-EX concert grand piano is at the heart of the Novus NV10. Each world-class instrument is hand-crafted by Master Piano Artisans (MPAs), utilising the finest available materials to ensure optimum touch, tone, and artistic expression. Widely regarded as ‘the premier piano of Japan,’ the SK-EX graces the stages of concert halls and musical institutions around the globe, receiving universal acclaim for its magnificent tonal clarity and exceptional dynamic range.

In order to reproduce the stunning tonal qualities of the Shigeru Kawai concert grand piano digitally, the NV10 incorporates Kawai’s latest SK-EX Rendering technology. This advanced piano sound engine combines the well-established process of sampling with the modern approach of physical modelling, to produce a piano sound that is both rich in natural acoustic character, and dynamically responsive to the player’s musical desires.

A personalised piano experience

As the most authentic recreation of an acoustic grand piano, the Novus NV10 also provides a variety of options to personalise the instrument through the powerful Virtual Technician feature. As the name suggests, this convenient function simulates the numerous voicing and regulation adjustments performed by a skilled piano technician virtually, allowing discerning musicians to shape characteristics of the Novus to suit their unique personal preferences, or match a certain style of music.

High performance delivery

Developed in collaboration with Onkyo, one of Japan’s leading premium audio equipment manufacturers, the NV10 features specialist filtering and amplification components designed for high-resolution sound reproduction. This technology helps to preserve the unique harmonic characteristics of the Shigeru Kawai piano, delivering the true concert grand experience through the Novus’ speaker system with power, depth, and clarity.
