A Benchmark Digital Piano for Serious Pianists
The Kawai CA901 Digital Piano has been named a 2025 Product Excellence Award winner by Music Inc., recognizing its outstanding design, performance, and value within the premium digital piano category.
The Music Inc. Product Excellence Awards honor products that demonstrate innovation, quality, and strong appeal to today’s musicians—based on feedback from music retailers and industry professionals. The CA901’s selection reinforces its position as one of the most advanced and authentic digital pianos available.
Who is the Kawai CA901 Designed For?
The CA901 is built for pianists who demand acoustic-level realism in a digital format. It is particularly well-suited for:
-
Advanced and classically trained pianists seeking an expressive, responsive instrument for serious practice
-
Teachers and music educators who require consistent touch, tone accuracy, and long-term reliability
-
Universities, studios, and institutions needing a premium digital piano with minimal maintenance
-
Homes and apartments where space, volume control, or acoustic piano upkeep may be a concern
Rather than focusing on entry-level features, the CA901 is designed to replicate the experience of a concert grand piano—making it an ideal alternative for pianists who prioritize touch and tonal nuance.
Why the CA901 Stands Out
At the heart of the CA901 is Kawai’s commitment to traditional piano craftsmanship, translated into a modern digital instrument.
Key highlights include:
-
Grand Feel III Wooden Key Action: Featuring long wooden keys, counterweights, and triple-sensor detection, this action closely mirrors the mechanics and control of an acoustic grand piano.
-
Shigeru Kawai Concert Grand Sampling: The CA901 features meticulously recorded SK-EX and SK-5 concert grand piano sounds, delivering depth, warmth, and clarity across the full dynamic range.
-
Modern Connectivity & Interface: A high-resolution touchscreen, Bluetooth MIDI/audio, USB audio recording, and app integration make the CA901 equally at home in traditional practice or modern creative workflows.
Award-Winning Excellence
Earning a 2025 Music Inc. Product Excellence Award reflects the CA901’s success in meeting the needs of today’s serious pianists while advancing digital piano design. It stands as a testament to Kawai’s belief that technology should enhance—never replace—the artistry and nuance of piano performance.
For those seeking a premium digital piano that delivers uncompromising realism, the award-winning Kawai CA901 sets a new standard.
