Thank you for purchasing a KAWAI CN32 digital piano!
The CN32 digital piano is a revolutionary new instrument that combines the latest digital technology with traditional piano
craftsmanship inherited from KAWAI's many years of experience in building fi ne acoustic pianos. The authentic tone has
been created through the stereo sampling of concert grand pianos, and is reproduced using KAWAI's unique Harmonic
Imaging™ sound technology, while the Advanced Hammer Action IV-F keyboard action provides the touch response and
full dynamic range required for a superb performance of piano, harpsichord, organ, and other instruments.
The CN32 digital piano is also equipped with additional reverb and digital effects processors, delivering a deeper, richer
sound, while industry standard MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) jacks and a USB interface are also provided,
allowing the playback of other electronic instruments and connection with personal computers, while the Lesson function
helps performers to practice the piano with a collection of etudes from Czerny and Burgmüller, or songs from Alfred's Basic
Piano Library and Alfred's Premier Piano Course lesson books (USA, Canada, Australia and UK only).
This owner's manual contains useful information regarding the varied capabilities of the CN32 digital piano. Please read all
sections carefully and keep this manual handy for future reference.
