Unmistakably, an acoustic.
Standing proudly amongst other items of fine furniture, the piano is often considered the centrepiece of any room it occupies, with elegant cabinetry, striking brass accents, and a luxurious high-polish finish. Yes, the timeless beauty of a fine acoustic piano is truly unmistakable, isn’t it?

Unmistakably, a KAWAI.
The new KAWAI CA111 is a piano for modern traditionalists - musicians who appreciate the benefits of a digital instrument, yet do not wish to be bombarded with row upon row of buttons, and hundreds of flashing lights; individuals that expect the very latest technological advances, while still admiring the understated character of a classical design.
However the CA111 is far more than just a handsome addition to your living space. For underneath its sumptuous polished ebony finish, inside the finely crafted traditional cabinet, you will find advanced features such as KAWAI’s flagship wooden key action and unique Soundboard Speaker System. While proprietary Harmonic Imaging™ sampling technology reproduces the breathtaking sound of our finest EX Concert Grand, ensuring that this exceptional digital piano sounds every bit as good as it looks.

ACOUSTIC PIANO TOUCH
The CA111 utilises the critically acclaimed AWA Grand PRO II action, employing longer, real wooden keys for an unsurpassed acoustic piano feel. Authentic key balance points, action movement and contact placements combine with proper hammer grading and bass key counter-weights to replicate the exceptional touch of the KAWAI EX Concert Grand Piano.

ACOUSTIC PIANO TONE
The result of four years of research and development, the revolutionary KAWAI Soundboard Speaker System represents a significant achievement in digital piano technology. Embracing the rich, harmonic qualities of wood, sound energy is channelled onto a spruce soundboard to faithfully reproduce the unmistakable warmth and ambience of an acoustic piano.
