KAWAI CN23
The compact CN23 features the latest Progressive Harmonic Imaging 88-key piano sampling technology, with 96 note polyphony and a variety of additional functions. This entry-level instrument utilises the new Responsive Hammer keyboard action, featuring KAWAI’s Ivory Touch key surfaces to absorb moisture and aid control.

RESPONSIVE HAMMER ACTION
The new Responsive Hammer action recreates the distinctive touch of an acoustic grand piano, with its realistic movement and rigid, springless design providing a smooth, natural, piano playing experience. The weight of the keyboard is appropriately graded to mirror the heavier bass hammers and lighter treble hammers of an acoustic piano, while structural reinforcements within the action assembly ensure greater stability during fortissimo and staccato passages. The new CN Series instruments also feature Kawai’s Ivory Touch key surfaces that gently absorb finger moisture to assist the player’s performance.

TONE
The new CN23 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 Progressive 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 stunning authenticity.

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.

An intuitive recording function is also featured as standard across the CN Series range, with the CN23 capable of storing up to 3 recorder songs in memory.

In addition to these impressive internal features, considerable attention has also been paid to the external appearance of the CN23, with traditionally styled cabinet accents and beautiful Premium finishes combining to lend distinctive character to this exceptional instrument.
