THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING A KAWAI DIGITAL PIANO!
This KAWAI digital piano is a revolutionary new keyboard instrument, combining the latest in electronic advances with
traditional craftsmanship inherited from KAWAI's many years of experience building fi ne pianos. The CN21 keyboard
provides the touch response and full dynamic range required for a superb performance of piano, harpsichord, organ, and
other instruments. The CN21's 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 lesson book (USA, Canada, Australia and UK only).
In addition, the CN21 piano is equipped with reverb and digital effects processors, providing an unrivalled richness of
sound. Industry standard MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) jacks are included, allowing a number of other
electronic instruments to be controlled and played simultaneously, creating a range of musical possibilities.
This Owner's Manual contains valuable information to help performers make full use of the instrument's many capabilities.
Please read all sections carefully and keep this manual handy for future reference.
