CN25 Feature Highlights
Responsive Hammer III weighted-key action, with Ivory Touch key surfaces and Let-o simulation
The new Responsive Hammer III (RHIII) action recreates the distinctive touch of an acoustic grand piano, with its realistic
movement and accurate 3-sensor technology providing a smooth, natural, and highly responsive piano playing
experience. The weight of the keyboard is appropriately graded to mirror the heavier bass hammers and lighter treble
hammers of an acoustic piano, while structural reinforcements within the action assembly ensure greater stability during
fortissimo and staccato passages.
The CN25 digital piano also features Kawai’s Ivory Touch key surfaces that gently absorb nger moisture to assist the
player’s performance, while, let-o simulation recreates the subtle ‘notch’ sensation felt when softly playing the keys of
a grand piano, satisfying the expectations of the most discerning pianists.
Progressive Harmonic Imaging (PHI) with 88-key piano sampling
The CN25 digital piano captures the beautiful sound of Kawai’s highly acclaimed hand-built concert grand piano, with
all 88 keys of this exceptional instrument meticulously recorded, analysed and faithfully reproduced using proprietary
Progressive Harmonic Imaging™ technology. This unique process accurately recreates the broad dynamic range of the
original grand piano, aording pianists an extraordinary level of expressiveness ranging from the softest pianissimo to
the strongest, boldest fortissimo.
Additional modelling techniques and eects, such as reverb and damper resonance are also applied, delivering a
selection of vibrant piano tones with breathtaking realism and authenticity.
Internal Song recorder, Built-in Lesson Function
The CN25 digital piano features a three song recorder, allowing performances to be recorded to internal memory and
played back at the touch of a button.
In addition, the convenient lesson feature allows aspiring pianists to learn the piano using a built-in collection of etudes
from Czerny and Burgmüller, or songs from the popular Alfred course books. The left and right hand parts for each piece
can be practiced separately, while adjusting the tempo allows more dicult passages to be perfected.

Playing the Piano
Using the Pedals
As with a grand piano, the CN25 digital piano features three pedals: sustain, sostenuto, and soft.
Pedal support bolt
If the pedal support bolt does not make contact with the oor,
the pedal board may become damaged. Ensure that this bolt is
fully extended and supports the pedals rmly.
When moving the instrument, always adjustor
remove the pedal support bolt, then readjust
whentheinstrumentisinitsnewposition.
Caring for the pedals
If the surface of the pedals becomes dirty, clean the pedals using a dry dish-washing sponge.
Do not attempt to clean the pedals using rust-removing solvents, abrasives or les.
GrandFeelpedalsystem
The CN25 digital piano features the new Grand Feel pedal system, which replicates the sustain, soft, and sostenuto pedal
weighting of Kawai’s EX Concert Grand piano.
Soft pedal
Sostenuto pedal
Sustain pedal
Sustain pedal (right pedal)
Depressing this pedal sustains the sound after one’s hands
have been lifted from the keyboard - greatly enriching the
piano sound, while also assisting smooth ‘legato’ passages.
The sustain pedal is capable of responding to half pedaling.
Soft pedal (left pedal)
Depressing this pedal softens the sound, reducing its volume.
When the Jazz Organ sound is selected, the soft pedal is also
used to alternate the speed of the rotary speaker simulation
between ‘Slow’ and ‘Fast’ eect modes.
Sostenuto pedal (centre pedal)
Depressing this pedal after playing the keyboard and before
releasing the keys, sustains the sound of only those notes that
have been played. Any keys that are subsequently played after
the sostenuto pedal is depressed will not be sustained.

Playing the Piano
Dual Mode
The Dual Mode function allows two sounds to be layered together, creating a more complex sound.
For example, a piano sound layered with strings, or an electric piano combined with a harpsichord etc.
Enabling Dual Mode : Method 1 (Pleaserefertopage12-13OperationGuideSOUND.)
Press and hold the SOUND SELECT button, then press two of the lowest 8 white keys or 11 black keys simultaneously.
The sounds corresponding to the two keys will be layered together.
