Concert Artist Series
The Kawai CA Series uses real wooden keys — not plastic — giving each note a physical character that matches what you feel on an acoustic grand. Combined with SK-EX concert grand sampling, it is Kawai's most acoustically faithful digital instrument.
Solid wood keys flex and absorb moisture the same way acoustic piano keys do. The tactile difference is real — wooden keys change how they feel under your fingers as you play, in a way plastic cannot replicate. Grand Feel is the foundation of the CA Series.
Sound is captured from Kawai's 9-foot SK-EX concert grand — the same instrument used at the International Tchaikovsky Competition. Stereo and binaural recordings give you both room presence through speakers and immersive depth through headphones.
Sympathetic string resonance, damper resonance, and key-off simulation work together to recreate the acoustic phenomena that make a grand piano sound alive. Notes interact with each other the way they do on the real instrument.
For classical pianists
The Grand Feel wooden key action is designed for players who practice serious repertoire and need a touch response that translates to acoustic instruments. Technique developed on the CA Series carries over.
For acoustic piano owners
If you are used to the feel of a grand piano, the CA Series is the closest digital equivalent. The wooden key action and SK-EX sampling mean fewer compromises when switching between instruments.
For serious home practice
The CA Series is a home piano that earns its place in a dedicated practice room. Binaural headphone output lets you practice at any hour without disturbing others, at full quality.
