The Concept
Finally - a piano created without compromise toincorporate the best of both the acoustic and digital worlds. Our hand crafted acoustic piano, built with the finest traditional materials, allows you, by applying the middle pedal, to prevent the hammers from hitting the strings; whilst its built in state of the art sound generator will digitally reproduce your performance and transmit it to you through stereo headphones. This will allow you to confidently practice in total privacy, without fear of disturbing either the neighbours, the rest of the family or a fellow student; whilst the two headphone sockets will allow your teacher, friend or parent to listen in when required, or to play aduet with you.

The Touch
Our Silent piano registers every detail of your playing in its digital mode. It incorporates the most sophisticated optical fibre grey scale sensor system yet developed, which continuously measures eachkey separately without interfering with the feel of the keyboard. Our precision engineered real piano action gives you a sensitivity of touch and a control to your performance that is unequalled by any standard digital piano..

The Sound
The AWM stereo piano voice is based on a new sampling of a full concert grand piano from the world’s leading grand piano manufacturer. The upgraded 30MG wave memory gives a morenatural piano sound. This voice offers a broadrange of expression from a delicate pianissimo to an intense fortissimo and reproduces the expansive feeling produced by the reverberation of the strings when you use the damper pedal. In addition to the piano sound, there are 9 other voices, each with avariation.

Performance and Recording
Whether in acoustic or digital mode you will enjoy a great performance. With our latest version you are actually able to record and playback your performance, and store your recordings onto a USB memory stick. The acoustic piano offers you an instrument with its unique and beautiful sound, whilst in digital mode you have a multi-voiced and a very flexible instrument with an excellent piano sound. In digital mode you can adjust the brilliance from mellow to bright, and you can adjust the reverb to provide you with a selection of venues for your performance, ranging from a room up to achoice of two concert halls and a stage, thus avoiding the 'dead' feel so common with electronic instruments. The DDE (Dynamic Damper Effect) can recreate the subtle resonances that occur when you depress the damper pedal on an acoustic piano. You can play 2 voices together (e.g. piano and choir). Where as, if you wish to givea live performance you can play it all through your own Hi-Fi system via the Aux Out..

The MIDI
The MIDI In/Out facility allows you, whether in the acoustic or digital mode to perform with other MIDI compatible instruments for a full range of sound, or to link up to a PC.

The Finale
So, whether you feel like playing Mozart at midnight or Gershwin at dawn, our Silent Series is in tune with your lifestyle.
