SILENT SYSTEM FOR UPRIGHT OR GRAND PIANO
Discover the magic of music without limits and enjoy playing the piano at any time of day or night!
WHAT IS A SILENT SYSTEM?
A piano silent system, also known as a silent piano system, is an innovative technology that converts an acoustic piano into a digital instrument for silent practice. With a silent system, pianists can play without producing any sound, while listening to the piano digitally through headphones.
HOW DOES A PIANO SILENT SYSTEM WORK?
The system consists of sensors that register the movement of the piano keys and pedals. This information is then converted into digital signals and played through headphones or speakers. It also has a switch connected to a mute rail in the piano action, allowing you to switch between acoustic and silent mode and back again. This way, you can play and practise without disturbing others—ideal for late-night practice sessions or any other situation where quiet is needed.
A piano silent system also offers additional benefits, such as choosing from a range of sounds and tones, recording practice sessions for later review, and connecting to external devices for even more options. It allows pianists to enjoy the playing experience of an acoustic piano with the flexibility of digital technology.
A piano silent system is a useful and versatile technological addition to an acoustic piano, giving pianists greater freedom and creativity when practising and playing.
