Shining brightly in our CA58 is the award-winning legacy of the “Concert Artist” line of Kawai digital pianos. Advanced features, such as our exclusive amplifier technologies and powerful multi-speaker configurations, abound in the CA58. The origin of its rich tonality is the Shigeru Kawai EX concert grand piano that was carefully sampled across all 88 keys to capture its expressive character. Our new “Grand Feel Compact” wooden-key keyboard action utilizes an ideal combination of materials, mechanics and motion to recreate the unrivaled touch and responsiveness of a fine grand piano. Sound categories, control functions, and instrument settings are easily accessed from the control panel buttons located conveniently on the keyboard side panel with large LCD display. Connect the CA58 with other devices via MIDI and USB, plus integrated Bluetooth® MIDI (wireless), to expand musical capabilities even further. Record, playback, and share WAV or MP3 files to enhance the playing experience. Unsurpassed musical flexibility and expression are made possible with Kawai’s CA58.
