Kawai K300 ATX3 - Why Go Hybrid/ Silent Piano?

The natural voice of an acoustic piano is truly unmistakable. A fine piano is beautiful in sound and the nature of its look. It makes players enjoy the musical experience of great music, but, it may not always be appropriate. An acoustic piano has a naturally large volume so the sound of players practicing scales are unlikely to be welcomed by other family members wishing to watch television, while even the most gentle, soothing Chopin preludes have the potential to irritate neighbours if performed after an acceptable time.

Fortunately, Kawai AnyTime ATX instruments incorporate an acoustic muting feature with powerful digital audio components, allowing pianists to continue enjoying the distinctive feeling of a traditional piano, while listening discreetly using private headphones. This distinct advantage of a hybrid piano is what makes them so attractive to everyone as it satisfies every need of any player in virtually any environment/ setting. Furthermore due to being able to choose more than 1 piano sound and a selection of other high quality, orchestral sound, organs etc allows much more expressiveness not available on a standard acoustic piano.

K-300 Acoustic Piano

This outstanding piano builds upon the success of its award winning predecessor, the K-3, that was named Acoustic Piano of the Year in four consecutive years. Enhanced design makes use of the Millennium III action with ABS-Carbon Composites. The new design offers better dynamic control and a more reliable action as the composite components are not affected by temperature and moisture the same way as wood normally is. On top of this, the reduced weight makes the Millenium III piano action approx. 25% faster than standard wooden actions.

Kawai K300 ATX3 - The Technology Explained

Kawai K300 ATX3 - IHSS SENSOR SYSTEM

A fine acoustic piano entices musicians to perform with enthusiasm, spontaneity and passion. Yet, the satisfaction that one enjoys when hammers strike the strings is often diluted by traditional piano silencing techniques. Sensors located below the keyboard struggle to accurately interpret the subtleties of musical expression, which is why AnyTimeX3 pianos integrate sensors within the fine workings of the piano action, reading the precise movements of each hammer. Whether performing rapid passages that demand the same key be played repeatedly before returning to its natural starting position, or pianissimo pieces desiring the very softest of key strokes, the Integrated Hammer Sensing System (IHSS) represents the elaborate nuances of every note. Pianists can finally enjoy the convenience of absolute privacy, without sacrificing the responsive touch and authentic expression of a traditional acoustic piano.

First and foremost the atx3s a real acoustic piano with a rich and clear tone and great key action with Millennium III design. But the K300 atx3 allows the pianist to play with headphones in silence anytime. The pianist is able to make use of modern technology so can layer and mix sounds, record performances and try completely different instruments, all the wile using the fabulous Millenium 3 action.

It is possible if desired for a separate set of speakers to be used so the instrument can be played quietly without headphones - this adds an extra layer of flexibility

Kawai K300 ATX3 Touch Screen Interface And Virtual Technican

Without affecting the look of the traditional piano there is a 5" full colour touch screen in the very left cheek panel of the K300 cabinet. This touch screen gives full access to all the world class sounds in the digital side of the instrument including the incredible SHIGERU KAWAI SK-EX Concert Grand Piano. The anytime ATXIII system fitted to the K300 ATX3 has some amazing features enabling you to get exactly the sound you require.

The Virtual Technician feature allows various characteristics of the selected acoustic piano, electric piano, or harpsichord sound to be shaped from the instruments' touchscreen display, with settings to adjust voicing and regulation, string, damper, and cabinet resonances, and subtle hammer, damper, and key release noises. It is even possible to adjust the precise tuning and volume of individual notes, before storing one's favorite instrument configuration to memory.
