Was very playfull, sensitive, despite the lack of functions and maybe obsolete sound samples (for some ears, not mine though.). Avant Grand N1 sounds and touches as a real piano, simply I was forgetting it is digital instrument. New generation of Yamaha N1/N2 seems to be on the market not before September, maybe later. Novus by Kawai should be available at the end of January 18. Kawai is not comparable really because of the price tag and on first impression cheap cabinet finnishing, but the new touchscreen interface and sounds was the thing to try on it.

Update: Today I tried Avant Grand N1, NU1x and Kawai CA 67 series piano with new sound engine (sympathetic resonance modelling etc.).

Merry Christmas to all! (and please feel free to continue in this topic:-)) I am just piano enthusiast, no big ambition except of playing perfect Bach (enough for lifetime, no?:-)), but I do see strong difference between my Kawai VPC1 and Steinway grand + Yamaha U3 my teacher has.
I think sound is more than decent even in smallest of Yamahas - the N1, but what is important for me is the touch - all of them have proper grand action. My thinking was going towards Avant Grand series from Yamaha or Kawai new Novus hybrid piano - real key action, real keys, just packed in smaller case, and sound through digital sensors-speakers. But thats another story, and definitely not the consideration now. Otherwise I like Yamahas TransAcoustic pianos, especially when you can play digital through soundboard, and just turn volume down. But that may not be the case for the life setup I have now. Also I would prefer to get silent grand in that case better than upright. Hello and thank you! I was looking at silent piano options, but as I live in block of flats, I am slightly concerned about the sound of piano being too loud for neighbours. I was also told by a few people Kawai silent pianos are much better than the Yamaha equivalent in the same price range. I’m in the UK and they are still quite new over here.most people go for a fully acoustic. One think to note I did a bit of research, they are cheaper in Asia.
Here is a link to the model.( without the silent system) I can play at 6am in an apartment and no one can hear me.įor my budget and space issues it was a good buy I think. However it serves a purpose and it is 100% better than the digital I used to have.as I said it is an acoustic. It still needs tuned ( not really a con as you have to tune acoustics.but just something to bear in mind )Īll in all.is it my dream piano.? no.I go to my teacher’s and her piano is warm and rich sounding ( but it’s also 3 times the price) however when friends hear me play they think it sounds lovely.( to the untrained ear) I was told It probably won’t retain its value if I was to sell it on different to a 100% acoustic (although not sure why) When you put it on the digital setting it still sounds ‘digital’ but only after comparing it to the acoustic.and it’s just if I am being picky. ( maybe nearly a 1/3 of the price on top) - if I had only needed an acoustic only piano I could have afforded a better model.
The model I have is only an ‘entry level ‘ piano, I paid more than the price of the acoustic only version to have the bonus of the silent system.
It is good to have an acoustic but I will tell you the pros and cons of the model I bought.Ĭan be played on digital with headphones for late night practice I bought a Kawai K15 a few years ago with a silent system as I live in a small apartment and needed to practice at unsociable hours, and I felt my digital piano wasn’t great for technique as I was playing harder pieces and needed the feel of an acoustic. Hello if by hybrid do you mean an Acoustic piano with a ‘silent system’ that you can play on a digital setting with headphones?
