DESCRIPTION
The NV12 is the flagship hybrid model in Kawai’s NOVUS Series, designed to deliver the most authentic grand piano experience possible through a fusion of acoustic precision and digital innovation. At the heart of the NV12 lies the Millennium III Hybrid grand piano action with real wooden keys and a genuine damper mechanism, providing the weight, movement, and subtle resistance of a fine acoustic grand. A contact-less optical sensor system ensures flawless detection of every nuance, while the action’s ABS-Carbon composite construction delivers long-term precision and consistency. Powering the NV12’s sound is the SK-EX Rendering engine, which faithfully reproduces Kawai’s flagship SK-EX Competition Grand piano with rich harmonic complexity and immersive resonance. An exclusive PentaDrive soundboard system uses five individually driven transducers to project sound through the body of the instrument, creating a multidimensional listening experience that fills the room with natural warmth and depth. Additional features include a matte-finish LCD touchscreen, Virtual Piano Artisan for detailed sound and response adjustments, and built-in Bluetooth MIDI and Audio v5 for wireless connectivity. A USB-C port and built-in USB audio interface enable direct integration with recording and production setups. Housed in a refined grand-style cabinet with a curved rear design, three-position topboard, and adjustable music shelf, the NV12 is available in a high-gloss Ebony Polish finish. With its uncompromising craftsmanship, expressive sound, and premium design, the NV12 stands as the ultimate hybrid piano for the most discerning musicians..
