Kawai NOVUS NV-12

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
