Keybird X1
A lightweight acoustic piano.
The Keybird X1 is a compact acoustic piano designed to bring the experience of a real piano into spaces where a traditional upright or grand piano would not be practical.
Using a lightweight single-string-per-note design together with a specially developed soundboard construction, the X1 delivers a surprisingly full and familiar acoustic piano experience in a far more compact and lightweight format.
Combining Danish design with a full acoustic action, the X1 is built for musicians who want an acoustic piano that is easier to move, place, and live with in everyday life.
The X1 is designed in Denmark and produced in collaboration with Pearl River in China, the world’s largest piano manufacturer. Final quality control and preparation are carried out by Klangmanufaktur in Hamburg before each piano is shipped to its new owner.
In some markets, including the USA, pianos are shipped directly from the factory in order to keep pricing as accessible as possible. This means certain adjustments, setup work, or add-on installations may need to be carried out by the customer after delivery.

Traditional wooden keys that deliver an authentic acoustic piano experience. The Keybird ranges from E1 to C7, encompassing 5,7 octaves and all your essential keys.
100% acoustic sound.
The Keybird produces a warm and delicate tone, characterized by its long strings and distinctive one-string-per-key design. It features a classic action mechanism, the workings of which have proven their reliability since the 19th century.
Intimate sound.
Here is an improvisation by Simon Eskildsen. Although a Keybird can be used for any music style, improvisation seems to come quite natural due to the “openness” of the instrument.
