Hand styles

Ten hand styles
for your falling notes

A hand style changes the material of the 3D hands, the colour of the notes, the light effects and the setting around the keyboard, all at once. The fingering stays the same: every style moves on the same skeleton, driven by the same fingering engine as our realistic hands, which remain available.

Available in Pianovera 3.1.1 for Windows.

The Constellation style: night glass 3D hands with the fingering drawn inside, playing under blue and aqua falling notes.

Ten styles, one fingering

Hover over a style, or tap it on a phone, to watch it play for a few seconds. Most people play with the flat keyboard seen from above: every style works in that view too, and the link under each card shows it.

  • Constellation Free

    Night glass hands with the fingering drawn inside: every joint is a star, and the fingertip that presses lights up.

Free or Premium

Constellation is free in the app, with no time limit. The other nine styles come with Premium. Five of them are made for a time of year: Obsidian & Embers for Halloween, Frost Crystal for Christmas, Ruby Heart for Valentine’s Day, Jade & Cherry Blossom for spring and Water Hands for summer.

In videos, the 3D hands are a Premium feature, so a style exported with the Studio, Constellation included, needs Premium. Every style keeps one colour per hand, keys that light up and a clear contact line, so the fingering stays easy to follow.

Start with Constellation. It comes with the free version of Pianovera for Windows, with no time limit and no ads.

Frequently asked questions

Do the styles change the fingering?

No. All ten styles share the skeleton of our realistic hands and the same fingering engine, so the fingers press the same keys in the same order, whatever the style.

Are the realistic 3D hands still there?

Yes. The styles are added to them; the realistic hands stay as they are.

Can I use a style in my videos?

Yes, with Premium: the Studio exports the style with its hands, its notes and its light effects.
