Hybrid Piano
A hybrid piano combines elements of an acoustic piano with digital technology. There are two main types, and the difference comes down to where the sound begins: with real strings or with a digital sound engine.
Digital hybrid pianos have a real piano-style action, but produce their sound digitally. You feel the movement and response of a piano mechanism beneath your fingers, while enjoying headphone practice and no strings to tune. Kawai Novus and Yamaha AvantGrand are examples.
Acoustic hybrid pianos are acoustic pianos with strings and a soundboard. Play them normally and you hear the piano’s natural sound. Switch to silent mode and you can practise through headphones. Kawai AnyTime (ATX) and Yamaha SILENT Piano (SC3) offer these two ways to play.
Models such as Kawai AURES and Yamaha TransAcoustic add a third option: digital sound you can hear in the room at a controlled volume. That gives you an acoustic piano, private headphone practice and volume controlled playing in one instrument. Because they are acoustic pianos, they still require tuning.
