Kawai – Novus NV5S

Kawai Novus NV5S Hybrid Digital Piano – Polished Black – Excellent Condition

**Premium Kawai Novus NV5S hybrid piano in polished black, complete with upgraded bench and premium Kawai SH-9 headphones.**

This is a superb high-end hybrid digital piano for someone who wants the feel and response of a true acoustic upright piano, with the convenience, consistency and practicality of a digital instrument.

I bought this piano new and it has been very well looked after. It has only been played by myself, and I have been playing piano for 33 years. It is in excellent condition.

The NV5S is not a standard digital piano. It is one of Kawai’s flagship hybrid instruments, designed for serious pianists who want an authentic acoustic playing experience without the cost, maintenance and tuning requirements of a traditional acoustic piano.

Before buying this, I tested virtually every digital piano available on the market, and chose the NV5S because the action was by far one of the most realistic and satisfying to play. It uses Kawai’s Millennium III Hybrid upright piano action, with real wooden keys, graded hammers and an upright piano damper mechanism, giving it the feel of a real acoustic upright piano rather than a typical digital keyboard.
