It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!
I'm attempting to record my first ever YouTube video and have a minor issue recording to USB device on NV10 - everything I record to USB has a created date of '30/11/2003 23:00'. I even tried a different USB device with exactly the same result - it's just a bit of a pain trying to match recordings to my camera footages which has the correct timestamp. The USB recordings must be taking the 2003 date from the NV10? - anybody any ideas how to resolve this?

As 9190 mentions, it's a rather frustrating and imo unnecessary limitation for an always-plugged-in electronics device in 2020!
And what's more, the NV-10 UI is built on Android, which means it probably already had an existing built-in clock function that's been disabled in the code
argh! my NV-10 is still on backorder apparently it's a worldwide shortage due to covid? has anyone had any luck purchasing recently?
Nope, I've put down a deposit on one and I'm waiting until the end of October, I've also seen a stock list and most pianos are out of stock right now it seems. There's shortages for a lot of things right now, even basic electrical components so maybe the stock of other products will continue to be effected for a while.

I'm in the UK. Originally the dealer assumed it was going to be November too but he was told by Kawai end of October, so I don't know how different it is elsewhere in the world, maybe you'll get it sooner if Kawai prioritize the US more.
Hi everyone! This is my first post. I am a Kawai novus nv10 owner and I was pretty happy with my decision until a few days ago when I noticed something terrifying: the action on my novus is not behaving correctly. When I try to play fast repeated notes the keys tend to get stuck far from the bed. The novus is six months old. Something happens preventing the key to go down even if pushed. I can reproduce this behaviour on EVERY KEY using different techniques, so it is not a localised imperfection. The whole action is affected thus the piano is useless for advance repertoire. I provided a link to a video of me playing two fast repeated octaves: please notice the key played by the fifth finger getting stuck. That happens very often when two or more strikes have to be performed at fast tempo (single note, double note, chords etc...). Am I the only one dealing with this problem? What’s going on? Are you (novus owners) able to reproduce the same strange behaviour on your Novus? Thanks in advance Best regards

Man, the audio is super weak. I can hardly hear it. Curious why did you turn the comments off on YouTube? You might have gotten some responses there too. Enough people have this piano that I'm guessing it is an issue with yours if it is indeed an issue at all.

I can reproduce this issue consistently if I specifically tried on my Kawai Novus, so it's not just your unit. In fact, I could do the same even on my old Yamaha Avantgrand N1. Thankfully, this situation has never appeared in a practical sense with the repertoire that I play on it.
First of all thank you for your kind replies. I’ll surely call my dealer and my technician as soon as possible. The audio in the the video is low because I recorded it late in the evening and I didn’t want to bother my neighbours. I’ve been playing the piano for 25 years but I never seen anything like that before. I encountered many adjustment and regulation problems in my life but nothing that prevented the key from coming down on the keybed. I am very surprised that this has happened with a piano that has action as its best feature. I mean, this thing costs an eye and a kidney... it’s really annoying
@rach3master I’m glad and sad at the same time to hear that I’m not the only one. I purchased the novus for intense practice purposes and this issue hurts me a lot. The problem got worse with temperatures rising. Also it can be a potential cause of catastrophic failure if one transfers the arm weight at the wrong time (when the key is locked in place).

Then you haven’t owned enough new acoustic grand pianos! I always end up needing to book one longer service in the first year to have the regulation dialed in. Once the initial break in and adjustment is done, things are usually stable for quite a while.
Grand piano actions like yours are able to be adjusted a multitude of ways. I’m confident this is solvable.

You’re probably right about the the number of grand pianos I’ve owned I’m only surprised that the possibility of encountering major issues like the one I have is not reported at all (at least I wasn’t able to find any information about this specific malfunction concerning the Novus) I also hope this is solvable. Thank you for your reply
I've reproed this issue in my Yamaha AvantGrand N3X. It's not reproducing 100% of the time though.
I never noticed this until your post.
Piano: 1982 NY Steinway Model B, Yamaha AvantGrand N3X VST(preference in order): VSL Synchron Pianos, Vienna Imperial, Garritan CFX, VI Labs Modern U, Ivory II American Concert D, Pianoteq
