Is the NV12 the right piano for you?

The NV12 is particularly well-suited to:

• Advanced players who want a true grand piano action at home
• Pianists who need silent practice without compromising feel
• Customers considering an acoustic grand but wanting more flexibility

If your priority is the most realistic playing experience possible in a hybrid format, the NV12 is one of the strongest options available.

NV12 vs NV6 – which should you choose?

The NV12 and Kawai Novus NV6 Hybrid Piano are the two current models in the Novus range, and both offer an exceptional hybrid experience.

• NV6: upright-style action, more compact, suits most homes
• NV12: full grand piano action, larger cabinet, maximum realism

If you’re looking for the closest possible feel to a grand piano, the NV12 is the natural choice.
If space or budget is a consideration, the NV6 is often the more practical option.

The grand hybrid experience: touch, tone and presence

• Authentic grand action: The Millennium III Hybrid Grand action with graded ABS hammers and optical sensors delivers the precision, control and repetition that serious pianists expect.
• Real grand damper mechanism: True pedal feel with mechanical interaction that mirrors an acoustic grand’s response and half-pedal control.
• PentaDrive soundboard: Five transducers energise a wooden soundboard to create room-filling, organic resonance — no conventional speakers required.
• SK-EX Rendering: Multi-channel, 88-key sampling blended with advanced resonance modelling for expressive, lifelike tone, including the new SK-EX Competition Grand.

Modern technology, elegantly executed

The NV12 benefits from an optimised audio chain with dual DACs and refined filtering for exceptional clarity and dynamic headroom. Connectivity is state-of-the-art: Bluetooth MIDI & Audio v5 for seamless wireless use, and a USB-C port with integrated audio interface and power delivery for streamlined recording and video content creation. The discreet 5" anti-glare touchscreen can auto-dim to keep your focus on the music.
