FAQs
Are Kawai Digital Pianos Good?
Kawai digital pianos are highly regarded for their authentic feel and rich, warm tonal character. They feature advanced key actions such as the Grand Feel III and Responsive Hammer III, which closely simulate the touch of an acoustic grand. Piano reviewers and independent dealers like ourselves, consistently rate Kawai’s mid-range and premium models as top choices, with innovative features like wooden keys, Bluetooth connectivity, and robust composite construction.
How Much Does a Kawai Digital Piano Cost?
Kawai digital pianos cover a wide price range for UK buyers. Entry-level portables like the ES120 start at around £500–£600, while entry-level console models such as the CX202 are typically £800–£900. More advanced portable (ES920) and stage models can be found between £1,100–£1,300, and premium console models (CA701, CA901) generally range from £2,300 to £3,200. Hybrid models, which combine acoustic actions with digital sound engines, top out between £5,000 and £8,000, reflecting the variety available for differing needs and budgets.
Which Is the Best Kawai Digital Piano?
The best Kawai digital piano depends on your priorities. For overall quality and technology, the Concert Artist CA901 is often considered the flagship, featuring wooden keys, the SK-EX Rendering sound engine, and a powerful speaker system for around £3,300–£3,700. Those seeking high value often choose the CA701, which offers similar touch and sound for about £800 less. For portability, the ES920 is widely praised as the best in its class under £1,300, and the NV12 hybrid delivers the closest experience to an acoustic grand without the associated volume—ideal for serious players with a larger budget.
How Long Do Kawai Digital Pianos Last?
With proper care, Kawai digital pianos can be expected to last 10–20 years, thanks to sturdy materials, composite action parts, and robust electronics. Higher-end models with wooden keybeds and hybrid actions often surpass a decade of reliable use. Kawai provides spare parts support for at least a decade after discontinuing a model, making ongoing maintenance easier.
Do Kawai Pianos Hold Their Value?
Kawai digital and acoustic pianos generally retain value better than most mass-market brands. While all digital pianos typically depreciate within the first year, Kawai’s premium build, 5-year UK warranties, and reputation for quality ensure their instruments sustain resale demand, particularly for the CA and NV hybrids. After the initial drop, well-maintained Kawai models often achieve 50–60% of their original retail price after five years, especially as they are perceived as rarer and desirable on the UK second-hand market.
Where Are Kawai Pianos Made?
Kawai manufactures its premium acoustic grands, uprights, and many hybrid actions in Japan, notably from the Ryuyo Piano Factory. Entry-level grands (GL-10) and most digital models (including ES, CN, and CA lower lines) are made at Kawai’s modern plant in Karawang, Indonesia, which replicates Japanese quality standards. Some digital pianos designed for the Chinese market are produced in Ningbo, China, though acoustic production there ceased in 2019. Most UK-shipped premium models will be labelled as made in Japan, while affordable portables and consoles are marked Indonesia.
