The NV10 Novus Made in Japan by Kawai

The Kawai NOVUS NV10 is a premium hybrid digital piano that combines a real grand piano action with advanced digital sound technology. It features Kawai’s Millennium III Hybrid grand piano action, complete with wooden keys, graded hammers, and a genuine grand piano damper mechanism for an exceptionally authentic playing experience. The piano uses the SK-EX Rendering sound engine based on the renowned Shigeru Kawai SK-EX concert grand piano and delivers its sound through a powerful 7-speaker audio system developed with Onkyo. A 5-inch touchscreen display, Bluetooth MIDI/Audio connectivity, and extensive sound customization options make it one of the most sophisticated hybrid pianos of its generation. The NV10 was later succeeded by the NV10S and NV12 models.

Critic Reviews

A First Look at Kawai’s Novus NV10 Hybrid

pianobuyer.com

Kawai's Novus NV10 Hybrid is a strong contender in the digital piano market, competing fiercely with Yamaha's AvantGrand series. The standout feature is its Millennium III action, mimicking the feel of an acoustic grand piano with remarkable authenticity. The integration of Onkyo-designed amplifiers and speakers delivers an impressive sound experience, though some speaker placements are less than ideal. The innovative damper pedal feature enhances playability, offering a tactile connection between foot and finger dynamics. While the sound quality excels, especially in Pianist Mode, some instrumental voices like choirs and strings could use refinement. The NV10’s polished design and high level of customization through its touchscreen make it a versatile choice for professionals and enthusiasts alike. Despite a few minor drawbacks, the Novus NV10 is a compelling hybrid piano that bridges digital innovation with acoustic tradition, proving appealing even to the most discerning pianists.
