grand piano level sound quality

analysis of the acoustics of a grand piano, realistically
reproduces the fine nuances of everything from lilting
pianissimos to powerful fortissimos. Experience the joy of
having complete musical expressivity at your fingertips.
*Acoustic & Intelligent Filtering System
Improved Acoustic Resonance System
Using the damper pedal adds acoustic resonance, which is
similar to that produced by the vibration of strings in a grand
piano. The result is richer, more acoustically natural
expressivity.
New speaker construction for richer sound
A new type of speaker system is designed and engineered to
enhance the clarity and beauty of the tones produced by the
new sound source.

Tones that take resonance and
expressivity to the next level
True and smooth grand piano level key action is reproduced using
the actual weight of the hammer, without relying at all on springs.
A new keyboard structure dramatically improves the playability of
successive notes, for touch that is even closer to that of a grand
piano than ever before. In addition, low notes play heavier and
higher notes play lighter, just like an acoustic grand. The result is
everything you could possibly ever want in a quality keyboard plus
much more.
