Frequently Asked Questions

The SH3 utilizes improved speaker placement and amplification for a wider, more immersive soundstage and better dynamic response than older models, mimicking a grand piano’s acoustics more closely.
The MIDI functionality is quite robust, offering recording/playback and USB connectivity for integration with DAWs, making it a viable option for basic music production and composition.
The GraduMark composite action feels very similar to a standard U1, but the Silent System’s mechanics introduce a slight, almost imperceptible change in feel; it remains highly responsive and predictable.
