Amazing key feel
Kawai pianos are considered good—sometimes exceptional—for several reasons, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation. Here’s why they stand out:
1. Consistent Quality Craftsmanship
Kawai has been perfecting their craft for nearly a century. Their pianos are known for solid build quality, smooth action, and reliable sound, whether you’re playing a grand, upright, or digital.
2. Innovative Materials
• Kawai was one of the first to use ABS-Carbon composites in their piano actions (the parts that move when you press a key). Traditional wood can warp or change with humidity and temperature; ABS-Carbon is stronger, lighter, and more stable. This makes their pianos more consistent over time and more durable.
3. Responsive & Smooth Action
• Many pianists love Kawai’s Millennium III Action, especially in their grands. It provides fast repetition and smooth control, making them excellent for dynamic playing. Their wooden key actions in digital pianos (like the CA series) are also close to the feel of an acoustic.
4. Warm, Rich Tone
• Kawai pianos generally have a warm, mellow tone, as opposed to the brighter sound of Yamaha pianos. This makes them a favorite among classical musicians, although they’re versatile enough for jazz and other styles.
