The ”Volume Sync Equalizer” allows for balanced sound across all frequencies even when playing the piano at a reduced volume, ideal for home practice during the evening or any quiet moments. Customize your piano experience to suit your style with the “Sound Mode” function, which adds various effects to the sound output from the acoustic system.

Playability
The ”Smart Hybrid Hammer Action Keyboard CELVIANO Edition” combines the hammer action mechanism of a grand piano with digital control technology, offering expressive playability with varied touch sensations based on the playing style and range. The white keys are made with a hybrid material of spruce wood and resin, similar to those used in grand pianos, ensuring a natural feel and a luxurious finish. You have precise control not just during key presses but also by adjusting the key release speed, allowing you to delicately control the timing of dampening and nuances in resonance.
Visual Information Bar
