To coincide with the company’s 90^th anniversary, Kawai is proud to announce that a brand new hybrid digital piano instrument, the NOVUS NV10, will be previewed to the public at Frankfurt Musikmesse 2017.

The NOVUS NV10 is the first digital piano to incorporate Kawai’s leading Millennium III grand piano keyboard action, renowned for its extended spruce key sticks, reinforced hammer shanks, and innovative ABS Carbon components that are stronger, lighter, and more dimensionally stable than conventional wooden parts.  The specially adapted Millennium IIIHybrid action utilised by the NV10 replaces traditional felt hammers with new ABS equivalents that are individual graded in weight from bass to treble, while high-precision optical sensors take the place of metal strings, accurately reading the subtle movements of each hammer as the corresponding keys are played.

In addition to featuring a full acoustic grand piano keyboard action, the NOVUS NV10 is the first hybrid instrument to also incorporate a real grand piano damper mechanism.  While there are no strings inside the NV10 to require physical damping, this unique feature replicates the true weighting of a grand piano damper pedal, while also easing the keyboard action’s touch weight as the pedal is pressed – an important acoustic piano characteristic that, until now, has been overlooked.

At the sonic heart of the NOVUS NV10 is a digital representation of the Shigeru Kawai SK-EX concert grand piano – widely regarded as one of the finest instruments in the world.  The rich tonal character of this flagship instrument is captured using full 88-key sampling, and brought to life with Kawai’s unique Harmonic Imaging XL piano engine and advanced Acoustic Rendering resonance modelling.  This beautiful SK-EX sound is then delivered with stunning clarity thanks to 1-bit processing, premium dual DACs, and DIDRC filter and amplification technology powered by Japan’s leading high-end audio manufacturer, Onkyo, to redefine the grand piano experience for players and audience members alike.

More information about the NOVUS NV10 preview can be found at www.kawai-onkyo.com, while Musikmesse visitors can experience the instrument in person at a special exhibit in Hall 9.0 booth A64 from 5^th-8^th April.

През ноември миналата година, Kawai се свърза в бизнес съюз с корпорация Onkyo, високоуважаван японски производител на висококачествена видео и аудио техника, с оглед разширяването на основната дейност на двете компании и споделяне на технически знания и опит. За да демонстрират този съюз, Kawai и Onkyo изобретиха съвместен прототип CS-X1  – съвременна технология на съраунд звукова конфигурация, съчетаваща най-добрата клавиатура и пиано семплинг технология на Kawai с отличните качества на усилвателите и говорителите на Onkyo. Прототипът CS-X1 беше разкрит за света на четвъртия ден на панаирната изложба във Франкфурт, Германия и се помещаваше в специално построена за целта звукоизолирана кабина. Посетителите можеха свободно да свирят на прототипа CS-X1 и да усетят уникалната виртуална акустична среда на концертна зала произвеждана от мултиканалния усилвател и съраунд система говорители. Персонал от Kawai Japan и Onkyo бяха също подръка за да отговорят на въпросите свързани с технологията на прототипа. В допълнение на всеки час в кабината имаше 20-минутна презентация на CS-X1, включваща обясняване на технологията на прототипа от специалист от Kawai Japan - James Battle, разнообразявана с разнообразни музикални изпълнения от японската пианистка Ayano Entani. Числото на посетителите на кабината надмина всички очаквания, с голям интерес от конкурентните производители на пиана, дилъри/дистрибутори и журналисти от онлайн медии и пресата. Отзивите от присъстващите на презентацията бяха невероятно позитивни като над 91% от присъстващите определиха CS-X1 като “Good” или “Very good”. Представянето на CS-X1 беше несъмнено един от акцентите на тазодишния панаир и ефективно демонстрира стойността на наскоро формирания Kawai-Onkyo съюз. Въпреки че няма непосредствени планове за привеждане на прототипът CS-X1 на пазара, вълнуващите нови технологии разработени за този инструмент със сигурност ще се използват за бъдещи модели в следващите месеци и години напред.

Established in 1980, Frankfurt Musikmesse is a four day musical instrument exhibition hosted in the German city of Frankfurt. The annual event is regarded as one of the leading musical industry trade fairs, with over 1100 exhibitors from all corners of the globe, and crowds regularly exceeding 64,000 visitors. 

This year’s exhibition was held from the 7th-10th of April, with different product groups distributed throughout eight large halls. The Kawai exhibition area was prominently located in the ‘Classic meets Keys’ hall, with an impressive, open-plan space spanning approximately 360 m². A full selection of grand, upright, and digital pianos were exhibited, allowing visitors to play test a wide range of Kawai instruments at their leisure. Product highlights at this year’s show included the latest GL Series grand pianos (covered in Kawai News #56), K Series upright pianos with AnyTimeX2 features, and the brand new Classic Series CS11 and CS8 luxury digital pianos. In addition, the Kawai space also incorporated two purpose-built soundproof rooms – one housing Shigeru Kawai SK-6 and SK-3 grand pianos, the other a special Kawai-Onyko collaboration exhibit, which is covered in greater detail on the following page. 

The sound of ‘Messe’ is undoubtedly one of the exhibition’s defining characteristics, with artist performances and product demonstrations, and show visitors sampling the latest musical instruments. In order to provide a more comfortable environment for company representatives to meet with dealers, this year’s Musikmesse introduced an additional ‘Business meets Business’ hall, away from the hustle and bustle of the main show areas.

Kawai’s spacious business centre (216 m²) provided a quiet, relaxing location for guests to meet, catchup, and discuss business over complementary food and drink. In addition to private meeting rooms, the area also featured two additional 16 m² soundproof rooms, allowing new products and prototypes to be tested and checked without disturbing others. Speaking after the exhibition, Kawai Europe’s Senior Product Manager, Michael Kunz, responsible for the planning and design of Kawai’s booth, highlighted the success of the separate business area: “The new Kawai booth concept, with separate B2C and B2B areas, demonstrated to the market that Kawai is a strong, trustworthy brand to work with in the future. Dealers and customers highly appreciated our confident direction at Musikmesse, which has contributed to a positive sales result.” While the Musikmesse exhibition may only last for four days, preparation before and after the event requires weeks and months of careful planning. So, as April draws to a close, Kawai Japan would like to thank all of the men and women at Kawai Europe for their tireless efforts in ensuring that the company’s presence at Frankfurt was a great success. We shall look forward to greeting you all again in 2017!
