Topboard
When playing an acoustic grand piano, the position of the instrument’s topboard (lid) affects both the volume and
‘openness’ of the tone produced. A fully open topboard allows sound waves to reflect off the polished lid surface
and project into the room, while a closed lid has the opposite effect, resulting in a darker, more opaque tone.
The CN35 digital piano attempts to simulate these characteristics, with four different topboard positions.
* This Virtual Technician setting will affect acoustic piano sounds only.
