I would like to know if Kawai K-25E AT piano is acoustically exactly the same as the Kawai K-25E piano. Has it been built exactly the same way and same materials, only the digital parts added? When you turn the silencer / electronics off, does the piano work acoustically just like K-25E or is it always electronic? Will K-25E as an acoustic piano last longer than its Anytime counterpart with added technology?
I would appreciate your answers very much! Thank you.

I have not seen the Kawai K-25E however, the same restrictions apply to all silent systems they are a standard piano with modification to the playing
action, normally the set off (let off )is 2 -3mm. On a silent piano it is set to 4 - 6mm depending on the make and system fitted, the damper slap rail is
removed and moving one put in its place with stoppers on it the rail moves to stop the hammers from hitting the the strings so when you play you get a
clunking sound but you have the head phones on and here the digital piano the other difference is the touch, it is a tad heavier that is because of censers under the keys to pick up your playing

See here this one can be fitted to any piano
