About Kawai CA401

If you're seeking the perfect blend of elegance, sophistication, and high-quality sound, the CA401 88-Key Grand Feel Compact Digital Piano in Premium Satin Black is your ideal choice. This sleek and modern digital piano is a product of Kawai, a brand renowned for its commitment to producing top-tier musical instruments.

Designed for the passionate musician, the CA401 is more than just a piano; it's an instrument that transforms your living room into a grand concert hall. The Grand Feel Compact wooden-key keyboard action, coupled with the brand new SK-EX Competition Grand piano sounds, offers an authentic piano-playing experience that rivals premium Concert Artist models.

The CA401's keyboard action is designed to mimic the touch weight characteristics of industry-leading Grand Feel keyboard actions, all within a compact form. The long wooden keysticks used for all 88 black and white keys, coupled with the familiar 'seesaw' mechanism, deliver a realistic playing experience that's unparalleled in its class.

The Grand Feel Compact keyboard action also features counterweights attached towards the front of the bass keys, providing a lighter touch during pianissimo passages and a feel of greater substance when playing with force. The triple sensor key detection system enhances playing realism, allowing the sound of a single note to be gradually 'layered' without the previous tone being lost.

The CA401 features Kawai's highly regarded Ivory Touch key surfaces as standard. This finely textured material absorbs fingertip perspiration and oils to assist playing control, providing a smooth, non-slippery surface.

The sound of the CA401 is a faithful representation of the Shigeru Kawai SK-EX grand piano, a world-class instrument known for its tonal clarity and exceptional dynamic range. The SK-EX Competition Grand sound is recorded from the pianist's position, offering a brilliant, clear tonal character with a distinctive thick attack.

The CA401 also showcases a selection of Jazz, Pop, and Modern variations suitable for a range of musical genres. The Virtual Technician 'Smart Mode' simulates the refinements of an experienced piano technician, with ten preset configurations that adjust the grand piano's characteristics to match different musical styles.

The CA401 boasts a powerful 4-speaker output system, delivering an immersive sound field that closely mirrors that of a grand piano. The Spatial Headphone Sound (SHS) technology enhances the depth and realism of the instrument's sound when listening through headphones or earphones.

In addition to its class-leading Grand Feel Compact wooden-key keyboard action and Progressive Harmonic Imaging piano sounds, the CA401 also offers a variety of convenient digital features that further enhance one's musical enjoyment. Experience the perfect blend of traditional piano craftsmanship and modern digital technology with the CA401 88-Key Grand Feel Compact Digital Piano.
