Where it sits
Its price class holds 10 digital pianos between €8,000 and €18,750 (EU street prices) – the Kawai NOVUS NV-12 sits in the upper third there. The Kawai NOVUS NV-10S from the same brand sits around €1,050 below it. At a comparable price the comparison also lists Yamaha AvantGrand N2.
Strengths & limits
In its favour
- 88 weighted keys with hammer action – the fingers learn the right force from day one
- Wooden keys instead of plastic – closer to an acoustic piano
- Three pedals (damper, sostenuto, soft) are included
- Bluetooth for apps and a wireless connection
Against it
- A piece of furniture with a fixed place – needs assembly, and moving it takes two people
