Kawai CA901 Digital Piano; Rosewood

The CA901 is the new flagship model in the Kawai Concert Artist range of pianos. Featuring the acclaimed Grand Feel III wooden-key keyboard and a brand new SK-EX Competition Concert Grand sampled piano voice, the CA901 is a truly inspirational instrument capable of satisfying the most accomplished pianists as well as being the musical centrepiece of the family home for budding musicians of all ages.

Housed within a premium quality wooden cabinet, the CA901 has tapered legs and rounded edge details that give the piano a modern and light character while maintaining the presence and beauty of an acoustic upright.

Kawai Concert Artist series pianos have always offered a great combination of keyboard action and sound quality. The CA901 retains the best features of the popular CA99 model and adds a stunning new piano voice and improved speaker system, as well as additional cabinet & user interface refinements.

More Detail About The Kawai CA901

Best In Class Grand Feel III Wooden-Key Keyboard Action
Kawai has over 95 years of experience designing and crafting some of the Word's finest pianos. Their expertise in manufacturing acoustic instruments has been harnessed to produce one of the best keyboard actions in a digital instrument. All eighty-eight keys of the Grand Feel III keyboard have been crafted from long pieces of wood. The keys feature a central balance pin to give a see-saw type movement, resulting in a natural acoustic piano-like touch, which is one of the most important considerations when choosing a digital piano.

Shigeru Kawai Concert Grand Piano Voices
The Shigeru models sit at the pinnacle of Kawai's acoustic grand piano range. These hand-crafted pianos are recognised as among the best in the World because of their tonal quality and dynamic range. The engineers at Kawai have sampled (digitally recorded) the sound of four of their best pianos, including the SK-EX Concert Grand and a brand new piano voice for the CA901 range of pianos called the SK-EX Competition Grand.

The SK-EX Competition Grand piano voice has been recorded from the pianist's position, as opposed to the standard SK-EX Concert voice, which was recorded from the audience's position.

Further authenticity is achieved by the CA901's real-time physical modelling of string and damper resonance to create a piano that feels like it is living and breathing, similar to an acoustic instrument.

Premium Audio Technology & Speaker System
The beautiful sound of the Shigeru piano needs to be heard through a premium-quality audio system, which is delivered by the CA901 in the form of dual Digital Audio Convertors (DACs) - one each for both left & right channels. These DACs utilise a specially designed filtering process to reproduce the piano voices accurately and clearly.

The CA901 has the highest-quality audio system seen in a Kawai Concert Artist digital piano and is further enhanced with a powerful 6-speaker system with premium quality driver units. Custom-designed diffuser panels help to disperse the piano's sound evenly throughout the room in which the piano is positioned so that it sounds great for both the listener and the performer.

As with previous flagship CA series models, the CA901 also uses Kawai's latest TwinDrive Soundboard Speaker System to project the sound energy onto a real wooden soundboard - similar to how the sound of an acoustic upright piano is amplified. This gives an even richer sound with an organic piano tone with an ambience akin to that of its acoustic counterparts.

Headphone Outputs
The CA901 has two independent headphone outputs so that two people can enjoy the sound of this instrument at the same time without disturbing others in the household or neighbouring properties. The headphone output is enhanced with Kawai's Spatial Headphone Sound Technology to make playing with earphones just as enjoyable as hearing the instrument through its own speaker system. We recommend Kawai SH9 headphones to compliment your CA901 digital piano.

Bluetooth & USB Connectivity
You can use the standard USB port for connecting the CA901 to a laptop or desktop computer for advanced music production. For ultimate convenience, the CA901 is equipped with the latest Bluetooth MIDI and Audio technology which gives the fastest response (low latency), so you can enjoy the many thousands of music-making apps available on your iOS or Android smart devices. Audio can be streamed through the powerful amplification & speaker system of the CA901, so you can play along to backing tracks or hear the tuition features of your apps whilst enjoying the exquisite sound of the CA901's own piano voices.

Touchscreen Display For Button-less Operation
The anti-glare 5" touchscreen interface provides a modern and familiar way to access the CA901's features. You can select all the sounds and settings using the conveniently placed touchscreen. The screen can automatically turn off when playing the piano, creating an even more acoustic-like playing experience.

The CA901 is fully compatible with Kawai's Piano Remote and PiaBookPlayer apps for iOS and Android devices. You can use your device's touchscreen to control the piano's features or to view the musical scores of the built-in classical pieces and exercises.
