Kawai NV5S Owner's Club/Hands-On Thread

QuasiUnaFantasia

This may be a NV10 thread, so the following is slightly OT. But for those interested in the NV5S, there is a new video on this hybrid from Stu Harrison at Merriam Pianos:

As a former NV5(S) owner, I can say that this model is one of the most beautiful digital uprights for me. I also found the musical experience offered by this instrument to be among the best currently available. The first time I played it at home I had goose bumps 🙂 .

I also consider the NV5 to be the most beautiful and inspiring (through its looks) digital piano on the market. I only have some reservations about the Kawai reliability 😕

@MBiG why are you a former owner?

I was unfortunately unlucky and had three different Q subjects at this unit. At least with one of the themes it was not clear whether it could be repaired at home (I had also contacted KJ about this via the PW forum).

I returned this unit.

After about 6 months of waiting for this unit and an uncertain further waiting time for the next one, I cancelled the order completely. Really a great pity. 😐

I can only congratulate anyone who has received a good unit on the musical qualities it has to offer.❤
