EXXEO Piano
EXXEO is a revolutionary Hybrid Piano for contemporary living spaces.
During the last two decades almost everything around us has been transformed to adapt to the new generation’s lifestyles. Our vision is to facilitate the transition of 19th century pianos into astonishing 21st century products, through design and innovation. EXXEO piano is made from Carbon Fiber Composite instead of traditional resonant wood, to contribute in saving the planet's forests. This unique attribute makes it much more resistant to environmental influences, therefore it's much more durable and will have a longer life cycle. EXXEO utilizes classic wooden action keys and a Award wining soundboard speaker system. Harmonic Imaging technology, recreates the broad dynamic range of the original grand pianos through the use of a 200 Watts, 9 speaker sound system. EXXEO is the only hybrid piano in the world equipped with a dedicated built-in battery. The high capacity power unit is mounted in the tail section. It enables the piano to perform up to 20 hours on a single charge.
