KAWAI CN22 DIGITAL PIANO

Features

The compact CN22 features the latest Harmonic Imaging™ 88-key piano sampling process, with 96 note polyphony and a variety of additional features. It offers an outstanding introduction to KAWAI’s advanced digital piano technology at an exceptional price.

Exceptional Touch, Tone, Quality & Value
KAWAI is proud to present the CN Series – an affordable range of high specification digital pianos suitable for school classrooms, church halls, and family homes. These impressive instruments offer an enhanced AHA IV-F weighted keyboard action, and introduce KAWAI’s latest sound technology, featuring the new 88- key piano sampling process.

With a traditional furniture design and attractive Premium Rosewood, Cherry, Mahogany, and Satin Black finishes complementing the exceptional touch and authentic tone of these charming instruments, the CN Series truly establish a new standard in digital piano performance, quality, and value.

TOUCH
The Advanced Hammer Action IV-F keyboard has been developed to represent the distinctive touch of a traditional grand piano, with its remarkable springless design providing consistent upward and downward motion for a smooth, more natural, piano playing experience.
Moreover, just as acoustic pianos utilise heavier bass hammers and lighter treble hammers, the AHA IV-F keyboard also employs different hammer weights, appropriately graded for each playing range. Such attention to detail allows greater stability during fortissimo passages, while preserving delicate pianissimo control, to satisfy the demands of even the most discerning pianist.

TONE
The new CN22 captures the beautiful sound of KAWAI’s highly acclaimed, hand-built concert grand piano, with all 88 keys of this exceptional instrument meticulously recorded, analysed, and faithfully reproduced using the very latest Harmonic Imaging™ technology.
This unique process accurately recreates the broad dynamic range of the original piano, offering even greater tonal detail than the existing Harmonic Imaging™ standard, while also providing the source for a selection of additional high-quality instrument sounds. Finally, reverb and damper effects are applied, delivering rich tones with breathtaking realism and authenticity.

FEATURES
The superior polyphony specifications of the CN Series maintain KAWAI’s position as a market leader, allowing complex passages that require the damper pedal, to be enjoyed without unexpected instances of note ‘drop off’.
An intuitive recording function is also featured as standard across the CN Series range. The integrated Recorder is equipped with a maximum capacity of 7.500 notes.

MORE FEATURES
The convenient lesson feature allows aspiring pianists to learn the piano using a built-in collection of songs from the popular Alfred Basic course books. The left and right hand parts of each piece can be practiced separately, adjusting the tempo to perfect difficult passages, before being recorded and played back for self-evaluation.
In addition to these impressive internal features, considerable attention has also been paid to the external appearance of the CN Series, with traditionally styled cabinet accents and beautiful Premium finishes combining to lend distinctive character to each exceptional instrument.
