Frequently Asked Questions

While the AURES 2 offers a respectable digital piano voice, it’s not designed to compete with high-end dedicated digital pianos—expect a slightly less detailed sound profile.
The acoustic sound is quite authentic, but the mute system does subtly dampen the resonance compared to an unhybridised grand; it’s noticeable but not detrimental to the overall experience.
The ABS carbon action is exceptionally durable and resistant to humidity changes, minimizing maintenance; expect similar longevity to traditional wooden actions with routine servicing.
