Virtual Technician
An experienced piano technician is essential to fully realise the potential of a fine acoustic piano. In
addition to meticulously tuning each note, the technician also performs numerous regulation and voicing
adjustments that allow the instrument to truly sing.
The KDP110 digital piano's Virtual Technician simulates these refinements digitally, with ten preset
configurations that intelligently adjust various characteristics of the grand piano sound to match different
musical styles.
