Shigeru Kawai SK-EX Competition Grand piano sound

The Shigeru Kawai SK-EX concert grand piano was conceived as the next step in evolving the art of the piano. 

The brand new SK-EX Competition Grand captures the sound of the latest generation SK-EX instruments, that in recent years have achieved success at the Chopin, Hamamatsu, and Sendai international piano competitions. 

Touch

Drawing upon Kawai’s rich heritage of acoustic piano building, the Grand Feel III keyboard action utilised by the CA901 embraces many of the long-established principles associated with an acoustic piano combining realistic materials, motion, and mechanism to recreate the exceptional touch of the finest concert grand pianos.

Speaker System

As the flagship model of the Concert Artist series, the CA901 features a powerful hybrid speaker configuration that combines premium driver units with Kawai’s highly-regarded soundboard speaker technology, delivering crystal clear treble frequencies and warm, resonant bass.

TwinDrive Soundboard Speaker System

Complementing the premium quality drivers, the CA901 also incorporates the latest version of Kawai’s highly-regarded soundboard speaker system.  This unique audio technology embraces the rich, harmonic qualities of wood by using transducers to channel sound energy onto a large soundboard, in order to produce a more natural, organic tone. Long wooden ribs securely attached to the soundboard further broaden the frequency range and volume of the resonating sound, resulting in a remarkably authentic playing experience that immerses the performer, and faithfully reproduces the tonal ambience of an acoustic piano.

 

Technology

Convenience and flexibility

Complementing the instrument’s class-leading Grand Feel III keyboard action and stunning SK-EX Rendering piano sound engine, the CA901 also offers a strong selection of digital features that further enhance one’s musical enjoyment.

 

Full Bluetooth® V5 connectivity and USB audio record/playback allows musicians to extend the functionality of their piano, or play-along with their favourite artists, while the convenient metronome and integrated lesson functions, featuring classical etudes and Alfred course books, ensure that regular practise is both productive and engaging for aspiring pianists.
