Silent system :
For those who have problems with neighbors, it is possible to add a “silent system” (silent option) inside a new or older piano. A control box is attached under the keyboard. This allows the pianist to play while listening to himself with headphones, without disturbing those around him, while retaining the mechanism of the acoustic piano. I
The ideal is to play without any silent system, because the sound feedback is authentic and allows you to work more musically, with good technique.
