Kawai CA901 Digital Piano - Rosewood | New

Kawai CA901 Digital Piano in Rosewood

The Kawai CA901 represents the pinnacle of Kawai's 90-year legacy of piano craftsmanship and technological innovation. Celebrated for exceptional build quality and award-winning sound design, Kawai continues to set the standard for advanced hybrid digital pianos trusted by educators, professionals, and discerning home players.

At the heart of the CA901 is Kawai's most advanced Soundboard Speaker System, upgraded with more powerful primary and secondary transducers. The piano's enhanced front-facing speakers work in harmony with 360-degree diffuser panels, creating an immersive sound field that authentically replicates the depth, richness, and projection of a concert grand piano.

The CA901 introduces the SK-EX Competition Grand Rendering engine, a developed version of Kawai's flagship Shigeru Kawai tone, recorded from the pianist's perspective. Multi-channel sampling and advanced resonance modeling elevate the authenticity, expression, and dynamic range far beyond traditional digital keyboards.

The CA901 features the acclaimed Grand Feel III action, one of the most realistic digital piano playing experiences available today. Long wooden keys with Ivory & Ebony Touch surfaces provide natural grip and responsiveness, while the precise pivot mechanism mirrors the feel of a premium acoustic grand.

Housed in a refined upright-style cabinet finished in elegant Rosewood, the CA901 features an anti-glare LCD touchscreen with an improved user interface and backlight-off function for distraction-free performances. Upgraded Bluetooth MIDI v5 and Bluetooth Audio v5 provide faster connectivity, reduced latency, and enhanced streaming quality-perfect for practice apps, learning tools, and wireless audio playback.

The expanded Virtual Piano Artisan (formerly Virtual Technician) gives players powerful control over voicing, tonal character, resonance, and mechanical parameters, allowing deep customization of every performance.
