The technology turns the acoustic instrument into a MIDI-capable master keyboard and enables wireless connectivity to thousands of music apps and software solutions via Bluetooth®.
VARIO is the silent system extension for all instruments of the C. Bechstein family (W. Hoffmann, Zimmermann) and can also be integrated into instruments from other manufacturers.
