The Upright Piano: NV6
The Novus NV6 is the latest model in the Novus series and the successor to the popular NV5S hybrid piano. The 2025 model retains the acclaimed Millennium III Hybrid keyboard action and unique damper mechanism of its predecessor, while offering enhanced sound, control, and connectivity features.
Drawing on technologies from the CA901 digital piano, the NV6 introduces the new SK-EX Competition Grand Piano sound, captured from the player’s perspective for a clear, brilliant tone. Together with the warm SK-EX Concert Grand, the Multi-Channel SK-EX Rendering sound engine delivers an exceptional playing experience.
Sound quality is further refined through upgraded audio hardware, including a specially developed sampling filterand dual-DAC system. The new speaker configuration—with premium drivers, tweeters, and a redesigned soundboard speaker—produces a clear, balanced tone across the entire range.
The anti-glare touchscreen now offers improved usability, with an optional screen-off function to minimize distractions. Bluetooth MIDI & Audio v5, USB-C, and an integrated USB audio interface enable high-quality, low-latency digital connectivity.
The slim cabinet preserves the classic Novus design while offering enhanced stability and practical updates for long-term reliability.

The Grand Piano: NV12
The Novus NV12 is the latest model in the Novus series and the successor to the award-winning NV10S hybrid piano. The 2025 model combines a larger, grand piano-inspired cabinet with a revolutionary sound system, while retaining the proven Millennium III Hybrid keyboard and authentic damper mechanism.
Visually, the NV12 impresses with a deep, gently curved cabinet and a three-position folding lid, enhancing both sound projection and aesthetics. The central support still features polished silver pedal rods, now open for a lighter, more elegant look. Newly, a real grand piano-style music desk allows flexible adjustment of angle and position, or can be fully removed.
At the heart of the NV12 is the new PentaDrive soundboard system: five precisely placed transducers transfer energy directly to a large wooden soundboard, producing a rich, full-bodied tone that mimics the projection of an acoustic grand piano.
Like the NV6, the NV12 benefits from digital improvements derived from the CA901 digital piano, including the new SK-EX Competition Grand Piano sound for clear, brilliant tones, complemented by the warm SK-EX Concert Grand. The 5" anti-glare touchscreen features updated UI and an inactivity screen-off function. Bluetooth MIDI & Audio v5, along with a USB-C port with audio interface and power supply, complete the modern connectivity options.
With its striking cabinet, innovative acoustics, and refined digital performance, the NV12 sets a new standard for hybrid pianos, offering a true grand piano concert experience.
