This instrument combines the latest digital technologies with traditional piano craftsmanship, delivering a truly breathtaking
musical experience for amateur and professional pianists alike. The CN33’s rich, expressive tone has been created through
the meticulous recording of KAWAI’s hand-built concert grand pianos, and reproduced using unique
Progressive Harmonic
Imaging
™ sound technology. While the
Responsive Hammer
action features a realistic weight-graded keyboard with
Ivory
Touch
surfaces and authentic
Let-off
mechanism to satisfy the demands of even the most discerning pianist.
The CN33 digital piano also features reverb and digital effects processors that create a richer, more authentic sound,
while the Lesson function helps budding performers to practice the piano using a selection of built-in etudes from Czerny
and Burgmüller, or songs from the popular Alfred’s Basic Piano Library and Alfred’s Premier Piano Course lesson books.
Finally, standard MIDI and USB-MIDI connectors are provided to allow communication with computers or other electronic
instruments, while recorded songs can also be stored on a USB memory device.
This owner’s manual contains useful information regarding the varied functions and capabilities of the CN33 digital piano.
Please read all sections carefully and keep this documentation handy for future reference.
