 CN17 Feature Highlights
Responsive Hammer Compact II (RHC II) weighted-key keyboard action
The new Responsive Hammer Compact II (RHC II) action has been developed to reproduce the distinctive touch of an
acoustic grand piano. The weight of the keyboard is appropriately graded to mirror the heavier bass and lighter treble
hammers of acoustic pianos, with a smooth matte texture applied to each black and white key for enhanced playability.
As with other Kawai digital piano keyboard actions, Responsive Hammer Compact II utilises triple sensor hammer velocity
detection, and features a springless mechanism that delivers a smooth and natural piano playing experience.
Despite its lightweight, compact design, the RHC II action allows experienced pianists to perform with confidence,
playing fortissimo with power and certainty, while delicately controlling the softest, most gentle pianissimo passages.
Harmonic Imaging™ (HI) sound technology, 88-key piano sampling
The CN17 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
Harmonic Imaging™ technology. This unique process accurately recreates the broad dynamic range of the original grand
piano, affording pianists an extraordinary level of expressiveness ranging from the softest pianissimo to the strongest,
boldest fortissimo.
Additional reverberation effects that simulate the acoustic environment of a room, lounge, small hall, concert hall, live hall
or cathedral are also applied, resulting in a rich, vibrant piano tone that delivers breathtaking realism and authenticity.
Integrated Bluetooth® MIDI connectivity
In addition to standard MIDI jacks for connecting to other instruments, the CN17 digital piano also boasts integrated
Bluetooth MIDI technology that allows the instrument to communicate with supported smart devices wirelessly. Once
connected to a phone, tablet, or laptop, CN17 digital piano owners can enjoy a wide variety of exciting music-related
apps that enhance their learning and playing experience without additional cables.
* Availability of Bluetooth function dependent on market location.
Internal Song recorder, Built-in Lesson Function
The CN17 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 Beyer, 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 difficult passages to be perfected.

Using the Pedals
As with a grand piano, the CN17 digital piano features three pedals: sustain, sostenuto, and soft.
 Sustain pedal (right pedal)
The sustain pedal is capable of responding to half pedaling.
Soft pedal
Sostenuto pedal
Sustain pedal
 Soft pedal (left pedal)
 Sostenuto pedal (centre pedal)
Depressing this pedal softens the sound, reducing its volume.
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.
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’ effect modes.
 Pedal support bolt
If the pedal support bolt does not make contact with the floor,
the pedal board may become damaged. Ensure that this bolt is
fully extended and supports the pedals firmly.
When moving the instrument, always adjust or
remove the pedal support bolt, then readjust
when the instrument is in its new position.
 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 files.
 Grand Feel pedal system
The CN17 digital piano features the new Grand Feel pedal system, which replicates the sustain, soft, and sostenuto pedal weighting
of Kawai’s SK-EX Concert Grand piano.
13
Playing the Piano
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.
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
Press and hold the SOUND SELECT button, then press two of the lowest 15 white keys simultaneously.
The sounds corresponding to the two keys will be layered together.

Concert Magic songs are divided into three different arrangement types: Easy Beat (EB), Melody Play (MP),
and Skillful (SK). Each arrangement type requires a different level of skill to be performed correctly.
 Easy Beat
EB
These are the easiest songs to play. To perform them, simply tap out a constant, steady beat on any key of the keyboard.
For example, when playing the piece ‘Für Elise’, a constant, steady rhythm should to be maintained throughout the song.
Key on:

1 Damper Resonance
Depressing the sustain pedal of an acoustic piano raises all dampers, allowing the strings to vibrate freely.
When a note or chord is played on the piano with the sustain pedal depressed, not only will the strings of
the notes played vibrate, but also the strings of other notes, vibrating in sympathetic resonance.
The CN17 digital piano recreates this phenomenon, with the Damper Resonance setting allowing the volume
of this resonance to be changed.

As with an acoustic piano, the CN17 digital piano produces a louder sound when the keys are struck with
force, and a softer sound when the keys are played gently. The volume and tonal character change in relation
to the strength and speed of playing - on a digital piano this system is referred to as ‘touch sensitivity’.
The Touch setting allows the touch sensitivity of the keyboard to be conveniently adjusted. There are four
different preset touch settings available.

The CN17 digital piano attempts to reproduce the rich variety
of tones created by an acoustic grand piano as accurately as
possible. This includes damper resonances and other subtle
effects that contribute to the overall piano playing experience.
While these additional effects are intended to enhance
the realism of the instrument, it is possible to reduce their
prominence, or disable them altogether using the sound settings.

The pedals are unreliable or do
not function at all.
Check that the pedal cable is firmly connected to the instrument.

When depressing a pedal, the
pedal board flexes and is not
firm.
Check that the pedal support bolt is fully extended.
p. 46
The top 18 notes of the
keyboard sustain for longer than
neighbouring notes, even when
the damper pedal is not pressed.
This is the correct behaviour, and intended to reproduce the
undamped notes (typically the top two octaves) of an acoustic
grand piano.
The instrument is connected to
the computer using a USB cable
(or a USB-MIDI adaptor), however
the software does not respond
to key presses.
