Virtual Technician
An experienced piano technician is essential to fully realise the potential of a fine acoustic piano. In addition to
meticulously tuning each note, the technician also performs numerous regulation and voicing adjustments that
allow the instrument to truly sing.
The Virtual Technician settings of the ES7 digital piano simulate these refinements digitally, allowing performers to
shape various aspects of the instrument’s character to suit their personal preferences.
