ES Portable Series
The Kawai ES Series is built for musicians who need authentic touch in a portable instrument. Responsive Hammer Compact action provides the graded weight of an acoustic grand — in a piano light enough to carry to every gig, rehearsal, or lesson.
Graded, weighted keys that return with the feel of an acoustic hammer mechanism — not a spring. Lower keys are heavier, upper keys lighter, exactly as they are on a grand piano. The touch difference is immediate and meaningful for technique development.
Balanced audio outputs, MIDI, and USB connectivity make the ES Series compatible with professional PA systems, audio interfaces, and DAWs. Designed so setup and teardown on any stage takes minutes, not a soundcheck.
Compact dimensions and a lightweight chassis mean the ES Series fits in a gig bag and on any stage. No stand required. No furniture commitment. Just a serious instrument that goes where you go.
For gigging musicians
The balanced outputs and durable build make it a reliable touring instrument. Whether you're playing jazz clubs, church stages, or live sessions, the ES Series handles it without compromise.
For piano teachers
Portable enough to bring to lessons, capable enough to demonstrate technique at any level. Many teachers keep one as a travel instrument alongside a home cabinet piano.
For home practice without furniture
No cabinet, no dedicated room required. Set it up on a stand anywhere, practice with headphones, put it away when done. The ES Series is for players who want a serious instrument without a serious footprint.
