Kawai Novus NV5S Digital Hybrid

When Yamaha released their AvantGrand series of digital hybrid pianos, it made quite an impression in the piano world.  At last, there were instruments with digital sound generation coupled with the physical interface of a full acoustic piano action!  It continues to be a huge success.

Kawai is one of the few manufacturers that can compete with Yamaha in the combined acoustic and digital realm, and they responded with the Novus line of digital hybrids.

The Novus NV5S was released in 2021, with Kawai’s Millenium III hybrid action, a sample engine featuring the SK-EX concert grand, Bluetooth audio & MIDI connectivity, and a sound system that utilizes speakers mounted to a resonant soundboard, all housed in a sleek, modern piano-like cabinet.

If you’re looking for a hybrid substitute for an acoustic piano, this is worth considering.
