Kawai CN17 Digital Piano, Satin Black

Full Description

Natural piano feel

Get the most authentic experience. The CN17's new Responsive Hammer Compact II keyboard has been carefully designed to offer the distinctive touch of an acoustic piano. Features like this make the Kawai CN17 a teacher's favourite. Unlike many digital pianos, the spring-less design allows a new level of consistency as you press your keys, providing a smooth playing experience.

A graded keyboard ensures an even more natural feel. The CN17's keyboard is appropriately weighted for each playing range, so your lower notes feel heavier and the higher ones lighter, just like on an acoustic. Thanks to this weighting, you'll be prepared for the feel of any piano you play.

World-class audio

Create the prestigious sound of the Shigeru Kawai SK-EX. This luxury grand piano is used in world-renowned venues, loved for its outstanding tonal clarity and exceptional dynamic range. These qualities make this beautiful grand piano a staple at huge events like the Chopin, Tchaikovsky, and Rubinstein international piano competitions.

The CN17 recreates this fine instrument with immaculate detail. Not only is each note key on the CN17 individually recorded, but also at various dynamics, from the softest pianissimos to powerful fortissimos. Kawai achieve such accuracy with their proprietary Harmonic Imaging sampling technology. This unique process captures how broad the dynamic range of a concert grand can be, letting you experience this variety in tone and volume.

Enjoy in-built lessons

Learning is made easy with the Lesson function. Equipped with a great selection of built-in etudes, pieces, and practise songs, you can play along and practise at your own pace.

Tailor your tone

Personalise your sound to your own style. The CN17's "Smart Mode" simulates the refinements that an experienced piano technician would make to your instrument. With ten presets, you can adjust characteristics to suit different musical styles. You get even more in-depth care with the "Advanced Mode" on the Virtual Technician iPad app, which lets you perform touch weight and voicing adjustments, regulate hammer and key release noises, and fine-tune string and damper resonances.

Bluetooth and MIDI functionality

Link up your piano with your smartphone for even greater possibilities. Once connected through Bluetooth, there are a number of apps you can use to improve your learning. This is a great way to keep students inspired to develop their technique. Play music in an eco-friendly way by reducing the need for printed sheet music as you declutter with a vast array of music available on your devices.

Kawai's brand new PiaBookPlayer

Kawai's app adds a new level of freedom to the piano. This musical score display technology lets you explore the piano's in-built pieces in new ways. If you're feeling stuck on a certain part and wonder how it should sound, it couldn't be easier to listen to them being played back to you. Whilst playing these pieces from a score on the PiaBookPlayer app, you can turn the pages hands-free, by pressing the pianos sostenuto pedals. With the Bluetooth MIDI feature, you can even listen to your favourite classical pieces when you're not sat at the piano. Relax and enjoy. To unlock all of the PiaBookPiano features, make sure you've got the latest software update on your Kawai piano. Head over to the App Store or Play Store to connect your smart device to your piano.
