Kawai ES920 Metronome

[jcmusic]

Hi,
Just bought an ES920.  Not a Steinway-- but I like it!  Touch is not bad, and the samples are nice-- especially with headphones (got open back ones)
One slight annoyance.  The metronome always sounds a bell on beat one.  I've been thru the manual, looked online, and there's no way to turn it off (that I see) on the piano itself.

Does anyone know if that's possible?

Just a tiny thing, but would be great to know.

All in all, I'm happy with the purchase.

Thanks so much!

John

The Kawai ES920's metronome feature does sound a bell on the first beat to help mark the beginning of the measure, which is common in digital pianos and keyboards. This helps you keep track of where beat one falls, especially in time signatures like 4/4 or 3/4.

If you'd like to disable the bell, check the metronome settings. On the ES920, you should be able to:

Enter the Metronome Menu by holding the "Metronome" button or navigating through the menu system.
Look for options like "Downbeat" or "Bell" settings.
Disable or change the sound for the downbeat.
Refer to the Kawai ES920 manual for specific instructions if you're not able to find it easily within the piano's interface. You should be able to customize the metronome sound or turn off the accented downbeat (the bell) altogether if it doesn't suit your practice needs.
