Features

TOUCH

Realistic touch & motion: Responsive Hammer Compact II keyboard action

The CX202’s Responsive Hammer Compact II (RHCII) keyboard action has been developed to represent the distinctive touch of an acoustic grand piano.  Based on the highly-regarded RH keyboard action design, its spring-less mechanism and sturdy construction delivers consistent upward and downward motion, while improved cushioning material helps to reduce keyboard noise, resulting in a smooth, natural, and highly authentic piano playing experience.

TONE

The Sound of a Grand Piano: Shigeru Kawai SK-EX concert grand

Earning a reputation as the ‘premier pianos of Japan’, Shigeru Kawai instruments grace the stages of concert halls and musical institutions throughout the world, and are prized for their outstanding tonal clarity and exceptional dynamic range.

The CX202 reproduces the magnificent tone of the flagship Shigeru Kawai SK-EX concert grand piano.  This peerless instrument is hand-built by dedicated craftsmen at the Shigeru Kawai R&D Laboratory in Ryuyo, Japan, and widely regarded as one of the finest instruments in its class.

DESIGN

Simple, attractive cabinet design

The CX202’s simple yet attractive cabinet incorporates gently curved side arms and sturdy toe blocks for additional stability.  The piano features a retractable key cover to protect they keyboard from dust, and a broad music rest that can be folded flat when not required. At just over 40 centimeters in depth, the CX202 is also a relatively compact instrument, making it well-suited to apartments and other narrow spaces.

DIMENSIONS

Compact and Sturdy Design

The Kawai CX202 is designed to offer a full piano experience in a space-efficient form. Measuring 136.5 cm (53 ¾″) in width and just 40.5 cm (16″) in depth, it remains compact enough for apartments and smaller rooms. The instrument stands 85.5 cm (33 ⅔″) without the music rest or 100.5 cm (39 ½″) with the rest raised, providing a comfortable playing height. Despite its slim profile, the CX202 is reassuringly solid, weighing 37 kg (81 ½ lbs.), with careful engineering to balance stability and portability.
