Frequently Asked Questions
The RH3 feels slightly lighter and more responsive than many Fatar actions, prioritizing a more 'vintage' feel, but might lack the absolute heft of some higher-end models.
The EDS-X engine produces incredibly realistic electric piano sounds, perfectly suitable for studio recording thanks to their detailed nuances and authentic imperfections.
While technically possible, the K-ARRAY system is carefully integrated into the design, and replacing it would require significant modification and may compromise the instrument's overall acoustic balance.
