THE TECHNOLOGY AND QUALITY BEHIND SILENT Piano™
Unique key sensors that allow continuous detection offer faithful reproduction of the player’s inspirations
Unique key sensors that allow continuous detection offer faithful reproduction of the player’s inspirations
Key sensors equipped with continuous-detection grayscale shutter sensing systems accurately capture the nimble movements and detailed nuances of the pianist's fingers. This makes it possible to execute repeated notes and trills at the edges of keys smoothly and naturally. The sensors are non-contact, so they do not affect the touch of the keys.
Binaural sampling produces natural sound that envelops the player
