transposition, recording and keyboard touch-weight adjustments.
The audio system of the e-Klavier 1 is unique in its class.
Developed with the latest digital technology, the e-Klavier 1 features 2

rich, acoustical sound.

MIDI In/Out/Thru already belong to the standard e-Klavier line-up. In
addition the Pro-88 provides extra connections for smartphone, PC,
laptop and tablets. Despite the use of the highest quality materials,
the PRO-88 weighs in at fewer than 20 kg (42 lbs), making the PRO-

that are graceful and richly
coloured. Ideal for playing
impressionistic music.
• Hamburg Grand delivers brilliantly rich, resonant sound full of
dynamism and power. A sound loved by many pianists for its
breadth of expression. Well suited to a wide range of playing styles
and genres.
• Vienna Grand allows an impressive low range particularly suited to
exquisite, softly played pieces. A richly expressive yet profoundly
tranquil sound. The ideal instrument for classical music.
The revolutionary new Natural Grand Hammer Action keyboard is
made with full-length, wooden keys and delivers authenticity from the
first touch.
• Its new mechanism incorporates real hammers that follow the same
path of motion as in a concert grand piano. When the lid is lifted,
you can see the hammers in motion through a clear panel as you
play. This new action allows faster note repetition than any acoustic,
while maintaining a true piano touch.
• Precision-made wooden keys, manufactured from the same High-
grade Austrian Spruce used for C. Bechstein grand piano keys,
provide distinguished touch and responsiveness.
Further enhancements made possible by Celviano Grand Hybrid
technology include Concert Play, Hall Simulator and Scene Setting,
enabling play with a symphony orchestra, within a legendary venue,
and in the style of famous composers.

he CA97 is the flagship of the latest Concert Artist series with
touch and tone that make it as close as possible to the feeling
of playing an acoustic grand piano. The premium samples of
the Shigeru Kawai SK-EX and Kawai EX pianos found on the CA17 are
joined by a sample of the Shigeru Kawai SK-5 chamber grand, and
the characteristics of each are enhanced by the unique soundboard
speaker system. Each of these piano sounds is a full 88-key sample
using Kawai’s Harmonic Imaging XL technology, which recreates the
expressive and dynamic range of the sampled pianos. Precise control
of these tonal capabilities is made particularly rewarding courtesy of
the Grand Feel II action. The use of full wooden keys is particularly
crucial to the authenticity

pianos is the incorporation
of graded counterweights
in each key, making it a pleasure to play softly with control, but also
giving a rewarding feeling of substance when playing fortissimo.
These features combine to make the CA-97 ideal for advanced players
who need the convenience of a digital, whilst also providing huge
inspiration to beginning, intermediate, and returning players.
he Classic Series presents Kawai’s
digital piano technology in black
polished cases, combining a
rewarding playing experience with the
elegance of an acoustic instrument. The
Ivory Feel keys add to this impression,
and gently absorb moisture to aid playing
control. The Grand Feel action found in the
CS7 incorporates full wooden keys with
central balance pins, which replicate the
pivot length of the keys on a Kawai RX-Series grand. Consequently,
the CS7 provides an authentic playing experience, encouraging the
technical development needed to effectively control and manipulate
the capabilities of an acoustic grand piano. The 88-key piano sample
is the other half of this crucial equation, with Harmonic Imaging XL
technology and careful positioning of the speakers heightening the
realism of the instrument, and recreating the vast expressive potential
of the Kawai EX concert grand. The CS7 is therefore a great choice
for a range of players, from those in the early stages who want
to be inspired by their instrument, to more advanced players who
don’t want to feel limited. For those wishing to capitalise on these
abilities further there is a flagship CS-10 model which adds the unique
soundboard speaker system also found on the CA-97.

he focus of the CN25 is a high level
of performance as a piano, and the
features are carefully focused to fulfil
this aim and to make that capability as
accessible as possible. The CN25 boasts
a variety of features suitable for different
playing abilities, including an 88-key stereo
sample of the Kawai EX concert grand.
The convenient lesson function allows
aspiring pianists to learn piano with classical etudes and songs from
the popular Alfred course books or Beyer, Czerny and Burgmüller,
while Concert Magic encourages even non-players to enjoy making
music by simply tapping the keyboard with a steady, rhythmical beat.
The weight of the keyboard is appropriately graded to mirror the
heavier bass hammers and lighter treble hammers of an acoustic
piano, while let-off simulation recreates the subtle ‘notch’ sensation
felt when softly playing the keys of a grand piano. These important
characteristics, and the Grand Feel pedals, allow discerning pianists
to practise their expanding repertoire with confidence, and ensure
that there are no unpleasant surprises when called upon to perform
using the finest acoustic grand pianos. The new Vocal Assist function
is notable, as it provides speech output to make finding the various
features approachable for all users.
awai’s new ES8 boasts a powerful combination of flexibility and
portability. It is ideal for use in a wide range of environments,
making it possible to enjoy the premium piano samples from
the CA-Series models in a neatly packaged instrument which doesn’t
require the services of a road crew for transportation. Whether playing
in a band or jazz trio, accompanying a choir or soloist, or performing
solo, the control offered by the Responsive Hammer III action (shared
with the CN-series) makes
the ES8 a pleasure to play. ‘There’s a huge

industrial looking X-frame stand. An upgraded F-301 3-pedal unit is also
available to use in conjunction with the stand, but a single pedal with

reproducing the experience
of an acoustic instrument where the lower keys have a slightly
heavier feel than the higher ones. The keys are finished in synthetic
ivory key tops, perfect for both practice and performance. The Pure
CF Sound Engine delivers remarkably authentic sound and natural
expressiveness which ensures an incredible playing experience. 128
note polyphony allows you to perform complex passages of music
even when layering sounds together (e.g. piano and orchestral strings)
using the Dual Voice feature. Damper Resonance samples provide the
rich and evolving tones produced by pedalling. Furthermore, the USB

and a suitably-equipped computer. There are four colour options
available (Light Cherry, Rosewood, Black Walnut and Polished Black).

Every Clavinova in the range from the CLP-525 at around £1000 to the
top-of-the-range CLP-585, which recently won a prestigious Red Dot
Design award, has a number of key features which are essential for
both the student and the more advanced pianist; 256-note polyphony
ensures that the most complex pieces can be performed. A three-

I
f you’ve always wanted the appearance of a grand piano in your
home, the CLP-565GP Clavinova could be your ideal instrument.
Measuring just 1430mm wide x 1147mm deep x 932mm high,
it’s certainly not as big as its acoustic counterpart; however, the
perfectly proportioned design really does create the elegance of
a grand in a choice of Polished Black or Polished White finishes. It
feels and sounds superb too with the samples of a Yamaha CFX
and Bösendorfer Imperial grand at its heart. These contrasting
piano voices give the player the choice of two of the world’s finest
instruments in one room- a virtual performance experience that is
very difficult (and expensive!) to find in the real world. CLP-565GP
There’s a wide selection of additional instruments to choose from £3,118-3,546

T
he AvantGrand N3 is Yamaha’s flagship
digital piano, combining the company’s
very best digital and acoustic piano
technology. It features a special Yamaha grand
piano action with a non-contact key sensor
that has no effect on the movement of the
keys, affording excellent recognition of the
player’s pressure on the keyboard, timing,
and the other delicate nuances that affect
musical expression. The wood construction of
the keyboard mirrors that of the grand piano
and features a unique material developed by
Yamaha, with a texture superbly close to that of natural ivory. Together
with a variety of piano sounds, this instrument features samples of
the actual vibrations from within the soundboard of the instrument.
In addition to the four-channel multi-speakers, the N3 has a flat-panel
‘Soundboard Resonator’ allowing a more subtle reproduction of the
build-up of sound felt by pianists when playing a grand piano. The
Tactile Response System even recreates the natural vibrations felt by
the pianist when playing an acoustic instrument. The system can be
turned on and off, and the vibration set to one of three levels.
The N3 looks as good as it sounds with a unique design reflecting a
modern twist on a traditional grand piano design. As a result, the N3
looks stunning both in the home and on stage.
T
he CVP range of Yamaha
Clavinovas offer a unique, added
dimension to playing the piano.
Firstly, it’s important to note that a
CVP Clavinova can be played exactly as
you would a “traditional” piano and its
extra capabilities can even be “locked
away” so that you can focus on the
pure piano. However, the additional
technology found in a CVP has the
power to captivate, educate and inspire pianists of all abilities to do
even more including performing with virtual “live” musicians who
instinctively follow your lead. A large screen is at the heart of the
instrument, giving you complete control over everything from the type
of piano, its location and even the position of the lid! CVP Clavinovas
are also renowned for introducing the joy of the piano to non-players,
especially children and those who used to play and now want to
rekindle their interest. Tuition features such as an on-screen music
score display and discreet guide lights above each key are powerful
tools which really help the learning process – there’s even a Karaoke
feature and Vocal Harmony for budding singer-songwriters – perfect
for entertaining musical evenings around the piano. The CVP-705 sits
in the middle of the CVP range which starts at around £2000 for the
CVP-701 and culminates in the stunning CVP-709 Grand, available in
both Polished Black and Polished White from around £8900.
