Kawai America used the NAMM show in Anaheim, CA in early June 2022 as a platform for the debut of its latest offering in the award-winning 'ES' portable digital piano series. Kawai ES-120's Full Suite of Upgrades Dubbed the ES120, the new model replaces the popular ES110 portable digital piano, while rounding out the larger ES520 and ES920 models' offerings. The Kawai ES120 digital piano comes with a host of player-friendly upgrades, including: Quieter keyboard action Connectivity to Kawai's PianoRemote and PiabookPlayer iOS and Android apps Bluetooth MIDI and Bluetooth audio Low Volume Balance Commenting on the new ES120, Alan Palmer, Kawai's senior product specialist and development projects manager, says of the feature-rich piano, "It offers consumers great value, as this level of touch, tone and advanced features are usually found on much more expensive models." Commenting on what it means for musicians, he added, "With three versatile models now in the ES line-up, Kawai portable pianos really do have something for everyone."

The formidable 20-watt stereo speaker system is powerful enough to deliver quality sound dynamics in the living room and small performance spaces. The ES120's included 25 sounds ranging from Shigeru Kawai concert grand samples to new electric piano and string voices normally seen in the larger ES models. ES120's Feature-Packed Digital Piano at A Great Price Point ES120 features traditionally associated with more expensive pianos include dual and split modes, record, metronome, registration memories and many others. The exciting addition of Low Volume Balance enables the new piano to dynamically calibrate both keyboard touch and tone characteristics when playing through speakers at lower volumes, while enabling pianissimo passages to be executed with a more natural smoothness. Bluetooth MIDI and Bluetooth audio are also included with the ES120, permitting both wireless connectivity to external devices and audio streaming through the piano's own built-in sound system. The ES120 offers Kawai's exclusive Spatial Headphone Sound technology which enhances both depth and realism when using headphones while reducing ear fatigue when played over long periods. The redesigned cabinet lends the ES120 a bold and contemporary profile, while the bar running the length of the instrument elegantly incorporates the main control panel. Also available are a durable stand and three-pedal assembly. The piano and its accessories can be ordered in satin black, satin white and a new modern gray finish. With an MSRP of $1,099.00, the new ES120 should be available in the US starting in August of 2022.
