The CN201 offers a highly detailed acoustic piano portrait, employing Kawai’s proprietary Progressive Harmonic Imaging sampling technology. This ensures smooth tonal transitions across the keyboard and throughout the entire dynamic range.

The new and improved class-leading Responsive Hammer III keyboard action on the CN201 authentically re-creates the exceptional touch of an acoustic grand piano. Its realistic movement and rigid “springless” design provide a smooth, natural piano playing experience. A triple-sensor key detection system enhances responsiveness and accuracy.

The impressive CN201 features our highly regarded Ivory Touch key surfaces. This finely textured material gently absorbs fingertip perspiration and oils to avoid slipping and provide greater playing control. Moisture is absorbed without dirt or grease permeating the key surfaces, allowing them to be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth.

The new CN201 features a premium speaker and audio system which delivers improved tonal clarity and superior sound.

The recorder on the CN201 allows up to three songs to be stored in internal memory and played back at the touch of a button. These recordings can serve as convenient self-assessment tools for players of all skill levels.

In addition to standard USB and MIDI ports, the new CN Series also boast integrated Bluetooth Audio technology, which allows music streaming through the piano’s speaker system. Bluetooth MIDI technology is also incorporated, allowing the digital piano to communicate with supported smart devices wirelessly.

This exclusive feature lets anyone enjoy the thrill of playing the piano, even if you’ve never played before. 

In addition to Alfred Publishing’s Basic Piano Course 1, Premier Course 1 and Adult Course 1 lessons, the new CN201 now comes with the Chopin Waltzer (1-19) lessons book built in. The CN201 also includes music scores and recordings for time-tested finger exercises such as scales, arpeggios and Hanon songs accessed through the PiaBookPlayer app.

Kawai’s PianoRemote control app for iOS and Android devices is compatible with the CN201. It allows access to all the controls of the piano via a smart device.  In addition, our exclusive Virtual Technician feature inside the app   can personalize the piano’s sound and touch response, just like a skilled technician can do to an acoustic piano.  

The CN201 features three pedals – soft, sostenuto, and damper (with half-damper capability). The new Grand Feel Pedal System reproduces the individual weighting of each of the three pedals of the Kawai EX concert grand.

As with a grand piano, the viewing angle of the CN201 music rest can be adjusted to suit the performer’s playing position or laid flat to provide a level surface for notating scores.
