Kawai has been crafting musical instruments for over 85 years, maintaining traditional processes while embracing the latest technical innovations. These decades of experience afford our engineers a wealth of knowledge from which to create stunning digital instruments, in a quest to perfect the art of the piano. Realistic touch, natural motion The ES100’s Advanced Hammer Action IV-F (AHA IV-F) keyboard action has been developed to represent the distinctive touch of an acoustic grand piano. Its springless technology and sturdy construction delivers consistent upward and downward motion for a smooth, natural, and highly authentic piano playing experience. Featuring 88 grade-weighted keys, the ES100 keyboard responds just like a real grand piano, and is therefore an ideal choice for beginners seeking a starter instrument on which to learn. However, its realistic, acoustic-like touch will also appeal to more experienced players looking for a second piano for after-hours practise, or to simply enjoy a little music at the holiday home. True character in every note Yet, regardless of playing ability, the ES100’s rich piano sounds are guaranteed to inspire and impress, with unique 88-key sampling, advanced resonance effects, and proprietary Harmonic Imaging technology delivering a realistic and highly enjoyable musical experience.
