Authenticity, elegance and portability combined: the
Kawai ES120 redefines the portable digital piano experience.
Keyboard
- 88 keys with Responsive Hammer Compact (RHC) action. This system simulates the “weighted touch” of an acoustic grand piano.
- New internal materials help reduce mechanical noise, especially when releasing a key.
- Smoother and quieter playing feel.
Sound
- Harmonic Imaging technology based on the Shigeru Kawai SK-EX and Kawai EX concert grand pianos in stereo. This faithfully reproduces tone and natural resonance, including string vibrations, damper sounds, and sympathetic resonances.
- 192-note polyphony: play complex pieces without dropped notes.
- With SHS (Spatial Headphone Sound), headphone playback is spatialized, improving realism and reducing listening fatigue.
Advanced Features
- Bluetooth MIDI & Audio: wirelessly connect the piano to a smartphone or tablet. Use Kawai apps (like PianoRemote and PiaBookPlayer) or stream music through the piano’s speakers.
- Built-in metronome and 100 rhythm styles to practice timing or accompany your playing.
- 3-track recorder to listen back and analyze your performance (up to 15,000 notes).
- Dual & Split mode: layer two sounds (e.g., piano + strings), or split the keyboard (e.g., bass on left / piano on right).
- Fine settings: adjustable touch, transposition, tunings, speaker EQ, etc.
- In addition to grand piano sounds, the ES120 includes: vintage electric pianos, warm strings, rich basses, and a realistic upright piano.
