About Kawai CA501

Just imagine a digital piano that combines the elegance of a grand piano with the convenience of modern technology. The CA501 88-Key Grand Feel Compact Digital Piano, with its 45 voices and premium satin black finish, is a stylish and sophisticated instrument that offers a superior playing experience.

This sleek and modern digital piano features the latest Grand Feel Compact wooden-key keyboard action, designed to reproduce the authentic touch weight characteristics of a grand piano. Despite its compact size, it retains the long wooden keysticks used for all 88 black and white keys, providing a consistent touch weight even when playing towards the rear of the keyboard.

The CA501 is more than just a digital piano; it's an instrument that inspires. It's designed to encourage enthusiastic players to become accomplished pianists, transforming living rooms into grand concert halls. It's part of Kawai's latest Concert Artist series, premium instruments that capture the essence of playing a magnificent concert grand piano.

The sound of the CA501 is equally impressive, featuring the latest SK-EX Competition Grand piano sounds. Each key of this world-class instrument has been painstakingly recorded and accurately reproduced as high-fidelity digital waveforms, preserving the unique harmonic character of a grand piano.

In addition to the SK-EX Competition Grand sound, the CA501 also features reproductions of the SK-5 mid-size studio and original EX concert grand pianos. It also includes a traditional Kawai upright piano sound, offering a variety of tonal options suitable for a range of musical genres.

The CA501 also boasts a powerful 100W, 4-speaker output system that closely mirrors the sound projection of a grand piano. Its top-mounted speakers feature custom-engineered diffuser panels, creating a 360 Degree sound field around the instrument for a natural piano sound.

With its Bluetooth MIDI and Audio connectivity, USB audio features, and a strong selection of other sounds, the CA501 is a versatile and modern instrument that delivers best-in-class touch, tone, and features. Whether you're a budding musician or an experienced pianist, the CA501 88-Key Grand Feel Compact Digital Piano offers a superior playing experience that will inspire you to reach your true artistic potential.
