Kawai CA401 763269

If realistic touch and grand piano-like tone are your most desired attributes, the new CA401 will not disappoint. Kawai’s continuing quest to build the best digital pianos available today is evident in the Kawai CA401 Digital Piano. Learning from the past and looking toward the future, Kawai continues a legacy of authentic sound and premium features. This updated model also preserves the core Grand Feel Compact wooden-key keyboard action and acoustic piano sound of both Shigeru Kawai and Kawai Concert Grand Pianos, providing a more natural and realistic playing experience. The new Shigeru Kawai ‘competition grand’ piano sample brings a new, bold tone characterized by a brilliant and clear sound with a distinctive attack. The CA401 also features improved control panels for a more intuitive layout that compliments the 2.5” OLED display. The CA401 possesses updated cabinet design refinements, adopting the taller body and rounded edge details of the larger Concert Artist models, for a more contemporary and elegant look. The three ‘grand feel’ pedals have been positioned to closely mimic the height of pedals on an acoustic piano. The Kawai CA (Concert Artist) Series is one of the most award-winning lines of digital pianos available today. The Kawai CA401 Digital Piano is an instrument that will deliver players of all levels a premium piano experience. Depth: 19.25”" (48.5 cm) Width: 53.50" (136 cm) Height: 36.25" (91.5 cm) Weight: 126.75 lbs (57.5 kg) HIGHLIGHTS - NEW: SK-EX Competition Grand piano sound, specially recorded from the player’s perspective. - NEW: Updated control panel layout with modern OLED graphic display. - NEW: Bluetooth AUDIO for wireless audio playback from smart devices. - NEW: Modern cabinet design modelled after larger Concert Artist instruments. - IMPROVED: Refined cabinet design with improved pedal position & new music desk score support pins. The CA401 digital piano employs Kawai’s Grand Feel Compact keyboard action, which draws upon 90 years of acoustic piano craftsmanship to provide an incredibly realistic playing experience. All 88 black and white keys are crafted entirely from long pieces of wood, (as opposed to other digital pianos with wood glued to the exterior of a plastic key). Finely textured Ivory Touch key surfaces on the keys provide an authentic touch rarely found on digital pianos in its range. As with an acoustic grand piano action, the long wooden keys rest on a metal balance pin and move with a smooth seesaw-like motion, while the extended pivot length ensures a consistent, evenly-balanced touch weight – even when playing towards the back of the key. The Grand Feel Compact action also incorporates grade-weighted hammers, bass region counterweights, and let-off simulation for added authenticity. The accurate triple-sensor key detection system allows rapidly repeated notes such as trills to be performed smoothly, without unnatural breaks in sound.
