Kawai ES60 Portable Digital Piano

The Touch of a Grand Piano: Responsive Hammer Lite keyboard action The ES60’s Responsive Hammer Lite keyboard offers an authentic piano feel with graded keys and expressive touch, perfect for building technique. Advanced hammer-sensing and cushioning reduce noise, delivering smooth, responsive playability for quiet home practice. Acoustic piano key weighting Similar to acoustic pianos, which use heavier hammers in the bass and lighter ones in the treble, the RH Lite keyboard features graded hammer weights across the keys. This design ensures stability during loud passages while maintaining precise control in soft passages, meeting the expectations of even the most discerning pianist. The Sound of a Grand Piano: Shigeru Kawai The Shigeru Kawai SK-EX concert grand piano represents a milestone in piano craftsmanship, earning the title of Japan’s premier piano.

Featuring Kawai’s advanced Harmonic Imaging technology, it faithfully reproduces the tonal richness and warmth of the acoustic original, allowing for expressive dynamic range from delicate pianissimo to powerful fortissimo. Realistic reverberation The ES60’s advanced digital effects engine enhances its core sounds with reverberation that emulates the acoustics of recital halls, live stages, or concert venues, adding depth and presence to every performance.
