Thank you for purchasing a KAWAI CN33 digital piano!

This instrument combines the latest digital technologies with traditional piano craftsmanship, delivering a truly breathtaking musical experience for amateur and professional pianists alike. The CN33’s rich, expressive tone has been created through the meticulous recording of KAWAI’s hand-built concert grand pianos, and reproduced using unique Progressive Harmonic Imaging™ sound technology. While the Responsive Hammer action features a realistic weight-graded keyboard with Ivory Touch surfaces and authentic Let-offmechanism to satisfy the demands of even the most discerning pianist.

The CN33 digital piano also features reverb and digital effects processors that create a richer, more authentic sound, while the Lesson function helps budding performers to practice the piano using a selection of built-in etudes from Czerny and Burgmüller, or songs from the popular Alfred’s Basic Piano Library and Alfred’s Premier Piano Course lesson books. Finally, standard MIDI and USB-MIDI connectors are provided to allow communication with computers or other electronic instruments, while recorded songs can also be stored on a USB memory device.

This owner’s manual contains useful information regarding the varied functions and capabilities of the CN33 digital piano. Please read all sections carefully and keep this documentation handy for future reference.
