Real Grand Piano Action in an Upright Piano Size

See How the NU1XA Fits Where Acoustic Uprights Cannot

Real Acoustic Piano Action, Not Weighted Plastic

Authentic Upright Piano Keys That Teach Proper Technique

The NU1XA uses actual upright piano hammers and keys—the same mechanism found in quality acoustic uprights. When you press a key, real hammers move with authentic weight and resistance. Piano teachers prefer it because students develop correct finger strength and technique from day one. The action responds exactly like the acoustic upright you learned on, so your muscle memory translates perfectly. No digital shortcuts here—just genuine piano mechanics paired with digital versatility.

Non-Contact Sensors That Never Wear Out

Every Touch Captured with Electromagnetic Precision

Electromagnetic sensors track your key movement without any physical contact—no friction, no degradation over time. The system detects microscopic variations in speed and depth, from the gentlest pianissimo to powerful fortissimo. This means your expressive intentions come through exactly as you play them. Traditional digital pianos use contact switches that wear down and lose sensitivity. The NU1XA captures your performance flawlessly, year after year.

Multi-Point Recording Creates Natural Projection

Sound That Fills the Room Like a Real Piano

An acoustic piano projects sound from multiple points across its soundboard, creating natural room-filling tone. The NU1XA recreates this exactly using samples recorded from various locations on concert grands. Sound emerges from strategically positioned speakers that mimic acoustic piano projection. The result? Rich bass resonance, sparkling treble, and warm midrange—all projecting naturally into your space just like an acoustic instrument would.

Virtual Resonance Modeling Creates Acoustic Complexity

Strings Vibrate Together Like They Should

In a real piano, when you play one note, strings across the instrument vibrate sympathetically. This creates the warm, living tone that makes acoustic pianos sound organic. Virtual Resonance Modeling recreates this phenomenon in real-time—as you play, hold the pedal, or let notes ring, the NU1XA calculates how all 88 strings would interact. It is the difference between a piano that sounds sterile and one that breathes with musical life.

Headphone Sound That Rivals Concert Hall Acoustics

Practice at 2 AM Without Waking Anyone

Most digital pianos sound flat and artificial in headphones. The NU1XA uses binaural sampling—a recording technique that captures sound exactly as human ears perceive it. Put on headphones and you will hear dimensional, natural piano tone with depth and space. Late-night practice becomes something you look forward to, not something you tolerate. Your neighbors sleep soundly while you enjoy concert-quality sound at any hour.

Perfect Concert Pitch Every Day, Any Climate

Never Pay for Tuning Again

Acoustic uprights need tuning 2-4 times per year at $100-200 per visit. They drift out of tune with humidity changes, temperature swings, and regular playing. The NU1XA maintains perfect A440 tuning forever—through humid summers, dry winters, and everything between. That is $2,000+ saved over ten years, plus no scheduling hassles. You get conservatory-quality tuning every single time you sit down to play.

Wireless Recording, Streaming, and Smart Device Control

Record Your Playing with One Touch

Connect via Bluetooth to the Smart Pianist app and control every feature from your tablet. Stream backing tracks from your music library and play along through the piano speakers. Record performances directly to USB in studio-quality WAV format. Want to connect to your computer? USB audio and MIDI make it simple. The NU1XA gives you digital studio capabilities in a traditional upright piano footprint.
