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 CN22 keyboard provides the touch
response and full dynamic range required for a superb performance of piano, harpsichord, organ, and other instruments.
The CN22 digital piano’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 CN22 digital piano is equipped with industry standard MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface),
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 varied capabilities.
Please read all sections carefully and keep this manual handy for future reference.
