Hello David, thank you for your comment and for your suggestion. Yes, it would be great to see updated VPC products that incorporate Kawai's latest keyboard action technologies. Let's see what happens in the future.🎹

Yes, that's right. The CN301 is a little bigger in each dimension, and especially depth, due the additional top-mounted speakers. For players seeking a compact instrument for their home, the CN201 is a great option.

@@KawaiPianosGlobal thanks so much for the response.. I will go for the 201. But those extra speakers on the 301 shissshh😅. Its tempting. Can I use the 201 with external speakers via midi or aux plug

@@jomiongoo We're happy to help! While it does have less features, the CN201 is still a great option. However, please note that this model does not feature Line Out connectors. It will theoretically be possible to connect additional speakers to one of the headphone connectors (be sure to disable headphone sound processing such as "Spatial Headphone Sound"), however this will also mute the instrument's built-in speakers. The CN201 does not feature the standard DIN MIDI connectors, however MIDI data can be sent/received using the piano's USB to Host port, allowing the CN201 to trigger virtual instrument software running on a computer etc. We hope this helps!

Hello, thank you for your comment. The bench is included in some markets (e.g. North America, Australasia), but not in others (e.g. Europe). We recommend checking the situation with the retailer prior to purchase.

Hello Jae Shin, we're sorry to read that you are not fully satisfied with your piano. Please contact Kawai Japan's overseas customer support via the following URL and we shall try to assist you. www.kawai-global.com/enquiry/

Hello Chan You, thank you for your comment. Generally speaking, Kawai is focussed on developing instruments that appeal to as broad a range of consumers as possible. The Novus NV5S and NV10S are already relatively niche pianos, therefore removing the ability for either model to produce sound may impair their perceived viability as an acoustic piano replacement for a large number of customers. It should also be noted that many Kawai digital and hybrid piano instruments already incorporate two headphone connectors, and that both connectors can be used simultaneously. Thank you once again for your feedback, we will pass your comments on to the product planning department for their consideration.

@@KawaiPianosGlobal , it is not suggesting to removing the current good features of NV5S instead hopefully one day Kawai may consider open a new product line that without the mentioned soundboard and speaker feature (but with grand piano action mechanism) as considered less value added feature to certain extent of buyers who worrying / limited by practice’s environment & hour especially on current society’’s modern living structure…Revolution always come from innovative & crazy ideas..anyway, definitely appreciating on the attention’s paid & feedback..

Hello Chan You, thank you for your reply. It's an interesting suggestion, and one that we will certainly bear in mind.

Hello Bill, thank you for your interesting comment. Like most if not all Kawai digital pianos, the CA701 supports the ability to adjust the instrument's tuning. For more information about the theory behind A=432 Hz, please refer to the following Wikipedia article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_pitch .

Hello Csaba, thank you for your positive comment. We're glad you found the video useful, and that you're enjoying your KDP120. May we wish you many years of musical happiness playing the piano! 🎹

Hello, thank you for your comment and question. The CN201 offers the following benefits over the KDP120: - Responsive Hammer III keyboard action - Progressive Harmonic Imaging piano sound engine - More sounds, more Virtual Technician adjustment parameters (via app) - Updated control panel with OLED display - 3 angle adjustable music rest - Bluetooth Audio functionality - Updated and improved power adapter For a side-by-side comparison of the KDP120 and CN201 specifications, please refer to the following link: www.kawai-global.com/product_comparison/detail.php?n=kdp120,cn201&ct=36 We hope this helps - best of luck with your purchasing decision!

Thank you for your comment! We're delighted to read that you are still enjoying your CN34, and we're confident that your next Kawai instrument will continue to bring you you musical happiness! 🙏

Thank you for your positive feedback Stefano! We're glad you enjoyed the video.

Thank you for your comment and questions. In terms of features, the CN201 and CA401 are very similar, with one of the main differences being that the CA401 incorporates the Grand Feel Compact wooden key keyboard action. The CN301 shares the same sound engine and keyboard action with the CN201, while offering a broader range of sounds and connectivity options (including USB to Device, Line In/Line Out). Here is a side-by-side comparison of the CN201, CN301, and CA401 specifications: www.kawai-global.com/product_comparison/detail.php?n=cn201,cn301,ca401&ct=36 As for which instrument is more suitable in your case, we would always recommend visiting a Kawai dealer in order to play-test these instruments in person, however if your primary focus is on a digital piano that feels as close to that of an acoustic piano as possible (within a specific budget), the CA401 with its wooden key seesaw keyboard action would be our recommendation. Regarding used CA models, it is difficult to recommend any specific models, however our suggestion would be to stick to instruments that are 1~2 generations old. We hope this helps - best of luck with your search!

@@KawaiPianosGlobal Hello, thank you for your helpful advice! I've been to a kawai dealer today and this really helped to clear things up a bit. I'm now fully aware of what the market has to offer and what i'm looking for. I played on alot of different models, including the cn301, all of the CA models, and even an AURES 2 piano! I've settled on the CA series. I'm currently considering the CA701 and the CA901. I have a few more questions about piano's in general. On your site, the specifications also mention "polyphony". What does this mean? The second question, what's the difference between the "sustain" and "sostenuto" pedals? I learnt to play on an upright piano with only 2 pedals, the sustain (which would lift the dampers) and the piano pedal. What does sostenuto do? Thank you in advance for your help.

@@ayviuon Thank you for positive feedback - it's great to read that you were able to play-test a range of different Kawai instruments at your local dealer's store, and that you are considering the CA701 and CA901. Regarding your additional questions, which we apologise for overlooking up until now: "Polyphony" refers to the number of notes that the instrument can produce (sound) simultaneously. A "Maximum Polyphony" specification of 256 means that the instrument can theoretically produce 256 notes at the same time. However, the way these notes are allocated can vary depending on the sound selected. The difference between the "Sustain" (aka "Damper") and "Sostenuto" pedals can be outlined as follows: - Depressing the Damper/Sustain pedal sustains the sound after the player's hands have been lifted from the keyboard. - Depressing the Sostenuto pedal after playing the keyboard and before releasing the keys, sustains the sound of only those notes that were played at that moment. Any keys that are subsequently played after the sostenuto pedal is depressed will not be sustained. We hope this helps!

Hello Tyoma, that sounds like a lovely birthday present to yourself!

Hello Nolin, thank you for your comment. We recommend that you listen to the full version of Ryoma Takagi's performance here: ua-cam.com/video/Ehx8nmfwc1k/v-deo.html - that version has superior audio quality. Enjoy!

@@KawaiPianosGlobal I am not doubting the ability if the performer. But Kawai pianos don't sound rich or clear like Steinway or Yamaha. In digital I find Roland LX has better sound than Kawai digitals.

Hello Nolin, thanks again for your reply. It's true that different piano manufacturers have different tonal characteristics. Some pianists favour the sound of Kawai instruments, others may prefer the sound of other manufacturers' pianos. The most important point is for the pianists to play an instrument that they enjoy and find musically inspiring.

Thank you for your comment Giuseppe. This sound was recorded directly from the instrument, using the USB Audio recorder function.

Thank you for your comment Thomas.

Hello Ruben, thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, we're unable to disclose this information publicly.

Both the CN301 and CA401 feature authentic keyboard actions, however the CA401, with its Grand Feel Compact wooden key keyboard action provides the more grand piano-like playing experience. The CN301 offers a broader range of sounds, as well as additional features such as USB audio recording and Line In/Out connectors. For a side-by-side comparison of these two models, please refer to the following URL: www.kawai-global.com/product_comparison/detail.php?n=cn301,ca401&ct=36 We hope this helps - good like with your decision making!

Hello, thank you for your comment. While the CA401 does not have dedicated Line Out connectors, it is still possible to capture a high quality recording of the piano from one of the instrument's headphone connectors. We recommend using an external audio recorder, although recording directly into a DAW is also possible. Note that when one of the headphone connectors is used, the instrument's built-in speakers will be muted. Therefore, it will be necessary to connect either a pair of headphones or an external speaker to the other headphone connector, in order to listen to the instrument as it is being played and recorded. For more information about how to record audio from a Kawai digital piano, please refer to the following FAQ article: www.kawai-global.com/support/faq/how-can-i-record-the-audio-produced-by-my-kawai-digitalhybrid-piano-onto-a-computer/ We hope this helps!

@@KawaiPianosGlobal thanks for the reply

Hello, thank you for your comment. We're sorry to read that you're having some difficulties assembling your CN201. Please feel free to send an enquiry via www.kawai-global.com/enquiry and we'll try to assist you.

Thank you for your comment. The sound in this video was recorded from the CN201's headphone output. The CN201 does not feature Line Out connectors, therefore the headphone output is the only way to capture the instrument's sound (without using microphones). However, connecting a recorder to the headphone output will also mute the instrument's speakers, therefore an external speaker (placed behind the instrument, out of shot) was also connected to the secondary headphone output. We hope this helps!

The sound was recorded from the instrument's line out connectors.

Great idea! We'll definitely consider this for the next video! 😉

Thank you David!

Hello Danyar, thank you for your comment and questions. The KDP75's speakers are located on the underside of the main body of the instrument. The KDP75's amplifier and speaker system is rated at 18W. For more information about the KPD75, please visit www.kawai-global.com/product/kdp75/ . We hope this helps!

We strongly agree!

🙏

Thank you Christian!

Thank you very much for your positive comment and feedback! We will certainly pass on your kind words to the production team responsible for this piece.

Thank you for your comment. As you correctly note, the underside of the KDP120 is uncovered. If this cosmetic detail is of concern to you, we would recommend considering the CN201. This model provides various keyboard action, sound, function, and design benefits over the KDP120, and is strongly recommended for players seeking a step-up instrument. For more information about the CN201, please visit: www.kawai-global.com/product/cn201/ We hope this helps!

You're most welcome!

Thank you for your comment. The piano strings are referenced by the ES120's metal trim line, which incorporates the instrument's control panel and is one of the piano's design features.

Thank you for your comment. The NV10S design is intended to evoke the appearance of a grand piano (which traditionally has three legs), with a modern twist. The rear structure supports the instrument, contains the low frequency speaker and electronics PCBs, and is offset by the three pedal rods.

Hello, thank you for your question. The CN201 does not support the ability to install additional instrument sounds. As a digital piano, the focus is primarily on acoustic piano sounds (8 types), with a selection of other, non-piano instruments (11 types) to add variety to the player's performance. The CN201 can however be used as a MIDI instrument, allowing software-based instruments running on a computer or smartphone/tablet to be controlled from the piano's keyboard. We hope this answers your question.

@@KawaiPianosGlobal Do you mean using VST samples? If so, I had bad experiences with long latency on my PC, although that was on entry-level Roland piano. Someone suggested I should upgrade my sound card to something dedicated, but I don't think that would be possible on a tablet.

@@mipe7755 Hello, thank you for your reply. Yes, software-based sample libraries (often referred to as VSTs) allow piano and other instrument sounds to be played back from a computer. Latency can be an issue with some hardware setups, however this can be improved using a dedicated soundcard/audio interface. It is possible to use most audio interfaces with tablets/smartphones, however it's perhaps less common. iOS/iPadOS devices have a strong selection of high quality sample library apps available, however these are less common on Android devices. We hope this helps!

Thank you for your comment. Yes, it is possible to adjust a total of 13 different Virtual Technician parameters using the PianoRemote app. Please refer to the specifications at the following URL for more information: www.kawai-global.com/product/kdp75/#specs In order to use the PianoRemote app, the device will need to be connected to the KDP75 using a cable.

Hello kolekristian, thank you for your comment! Yes, there are a few important differences (KDP75 vs KDP120): - RHC action (2-sensor) vs RHCII action (3-sensor) - No Bluetooth vs Bluetooth MIDI - 18W speaker system vs 40W speaker system - Embossed Black/White vs Premium Rosewood/Black/White finishes - Half-height background vs Full-height backboard For a side-by-side spec comparison of the KDP75 vs the KDP120, please refer to the URL below: www.kawai-global.com/product_comparison/detail.php?n=kdp75,kdp120&ct=36 We hope this helps - good luck with your decision!
