Kawai CA99 Digital Piano Review & Demo

merriammusic.com

Kawai has refined its craft with the CA99, delivering a hybrid piano that excels in sound and touch. The standout features include the innovative TwinDrive Soundboard Speaker System, which offers extraordinary depth and realism, and the Grand Feel III action, praised for its durability and responsiveness. However, while the touchscreen interface improvements are notable, some users may still find it slightly lacking compared to top-tier models. Overall, the CA99 is a remarkable instrument that successfully bridges digital and acoustic worlds, making it a strong contender for serious musicians, albeit with minor usability concerns.

Kawai CA99 | Pianist

The Kawai CA99 shines as a flagship digital piano, offering an authentic concert grand experience with its Shigeru Kawai SK-EX sound engine and advanced TwinDrive soundboard system for immersive sound. The Grand Feel III wooden-key action provides excellent responsiveness, enhancing playability. However, its hefty price tag of £3,766 and weight of 83kg may deter some buyers. While the user-friendly touchscreen and PianoRemote app add convenience, the overall design may feel daunting for less tech-savvy musicians. In summary, the CA99 is a premium instrument that impresses with its sound and features, but potential buyers should weigh its cost and complexity against their needs.
