Kawai ES120 88-Key Digital Piano With Speakers Light Gray

Kawai’s ES120 is a high-performance, 88-key portable digital piano ideal for the home, stage, recital hall or classroom. The ES120 features the Responsive Hammer Compact (RHC) keyboard action, which has been developed to deliver the most realistic grand piano touch possible within a compact, lightweight form factor. The ES120’s improved RH Compact action incorporates grade-weighted hammers, and utilizes upgraded cushioning material that helps to reduce action noise when keys are released.

This authentic keyboard action is paired with Kawai’s Harmonic Imaging piano engine, which reproduces the beautiful sound of the new Shigeru Kawai SK-EX and existing Kawai EX concert grand pianos with full 88-key stereo sampling and authentic string and damper resonances. In addition, the ES120 also features a selection including a new electronic piano, upright piano, strings and bass sounds from the larger ES520.

The ES120 offers a variety of useful features to complement its realistic weighted-key touch and authentic grand piano sounds. Integrated Bluetooth MIDI and Bluetooth audio connectivity allows apps such as Kawai’s dedicated PianoRemote and PiaBookPlayer apps—or a wide range of third-party learning and recreation apps to be enjoyed wirelessly, and for music streamed from a smartphone or tablet—to be played through the piano’s audio system without any additional cables. Also available are standard USB-MIDI and 1/4" stereo Line Out terminals providing useful options for the home, studio and stage.

The ES120’s 20W amplifier and speaker system delivers a rich, well-rounded sound with impressive volume and clarity, while the new Low Volume Balance feature is also able to adjust characteristics of the piano for optimal expression when playing at low-volume levels. In addition, the advanced Spatial Headphone Sound (SHS) technology enhances the depth and realism of sounds heard through headphones or earphones, while also helping to reduce auditory fatigue when listening for extended periods of time.

The ES120 features a brand-new exterior design, with the instrument’s updated control panel incorporated into an attractive polished trim line that runs the length of the keyboard. It’s stylish yet sturdy body weighs just under 28 pounds, making the ES120 an excellent choice for gigging musicians, as well as academic and religious institutions. As with its predecessor and larger models in the ES range, the ES120 can be transformed into an ultracompact piano replacement using the dedicated stand and triple pedal accessories. This complete package delivers a superb playing experience for the lounge, office or bedroom, with an attractive, contemporary design to match the atmosphere and décor of almost any room.
