What we have here is a compact, yet just as punchy and robust model of a digital piano on the market, the Kawai CA701. We’ll be covering its fundamental positive factors, as well as its overall sound and timbre- And sprawling throughout; its numerous renderings for the perfect capturing of that sound in mind for playing. Despite its release date of 2023, it’s sure to still stand as a resounding candidate for any pianist, aspiring or professional.
The CA701 offers an excellent range of physical factors in its overall display and size, as well as its compatibility with the player. Though, it isn’t exactly equivalent with its earlier comparison of the CA901 in terms of resonance and “boom”. (Considering that the CA901 also bears a soundboard, which the CA701 doesn’t.) First, let’s focus on the model itself. It offers a well-rounded size customary of any keyboard, as well as a solid chassis. A focal point however is its touchscreen; the key feature and intuitive tool to capture just the right sound. Here it offers a wide range of carefully selected renderings and voicings spanning from your contemporary and classic acoustic grand themings, along with further pastiches of sound and essence, such as with its “Vintage” or “Romantic” renderings. (The latter both provide a creamy, silky warble in comparison to its far brighter and bolder counterparts, such as the “Competition Grand”, “Brilliant”, or “Concert” renderings.) Yet you shouldn’t overlook the range of the bolder and non-flowery tones- they bear a resonance and tone heavily akin to an acoustic grand. And with 88 wooden keys, weighted hammers, and the de facto lustre of an ebony and ivory shine… You’re practically playing a grand. With all this in store, it all loops back to the fact that what you would be playing on would be a perfectly ideal model for smaller, compact, or ‘modest’ playing or living spaces. Perfect for the outward acoustic expression complete with its woofers and tweeters alongside its speakers- or the quieter moments requiring headphone playing. For the beginning, intermediate, or savant to play it, it is still a very much relevant model for anyone wishing for a truly immersive playing experience.
The Kawai line of digital pianos and keyboards still stands as an honest, resilient sound that stands as its own within the digital piano landscape.
