The Studio S 2 VARIO: acoustics kiss digital

At first sight, the Studio S 2 VARIO appears to be a chic and great-sounding, yet perfectly normal acoustic Zimmermann piano. Just like the Studio S 2, in fact. Which it is – but it’s much more as well. Because on second glance, on the bottom left edge of the keyboard, you will find a small black box. And that’s the crux of it. Behind this control panel lies a quietly-spoken power pack of digital potential – more of which in a moment.

And talking of quietly-spoken: the Studio S 2 VARIO also boasts a mute function that lets you carry on playing your piano even when your neighbours are asleep. And if you’re wondering how you still get to hear your Studio S 2 VARIO when it’s on mute – please read on.

Digital mode for you, silent mode for everyone around you

So how does the VARIO work exactly? Very simply: it means you can also play your piano via headphones! The hammers that normally make the acoustic instrument sound clear and loud are adjusted with the VARIO so that your Studio S 2 VARIO remains muted if desired. This rather smart electronics system ensures the transition to a great sound that you can hear directly via headphones – while your fingers feel nothing because your playing style still relies completely on your natural acoustic ear.

But the mute function is just one of the many benefits of your Studio S 2 VARIO, because it also offers creatives everywhere great digital opportunities with apps designed for you to learn more and have fun!
