Kawai Keyboards & MIDI

The piano was one of the first instruments to join the digital age of music, and some of the best piano builders on the globe were among the first to test the electronic waters. That includes Kawai, which has been forging a reputation for making world-class pianos since 1927. The Kawai keyboards and MIDI controllers you'll find in this section are modern instruments that carry on the tradition Kawai started with grand pianos and uprights all those years ago - so if you've been looking for legendary playing feel with all the versatility of electronics and MIDI, this is the right place to find it.

For an example of that acoustic-like touch, take a look at the Kawai CE220 Digital Piano. Its biggest claim to fame is the AWA PROII wooden-key action, which makes it incredibly natural and intuitive to play. The CE220 is also loaded with great digital features, including the ability to record to a USB memory stick and an advanced 192-note polyphony engine. Kawai remembered the little touches, too, with extras like a built-in metronome and accompanying music book.

If you prefer that your piano be a virtual one, be sure to check out the Kawai VPC1 Virtual Piano Controller. This advanced MIDI keyboard is designed to provide professional pianists with a high-end look and feel that goes above and beyond garden-variety controllers. That means the same wooden-key action that's in Kawai's digital pianos, complete with graded hammer weighting, let-off simulation and a premium finish on the keys to make this controller feel just like a concert hall grand piano.

In a nutshell, Kawai keyboards and MIDI controllers are all about the feel. There are plenty of options out there that can deliver great sound and cutting-edge digital features, but Kawai sets themselves apart by giving you those elements together with an unparalleled look and feel. The bottom line is that if you've been searching high and low for the ultimate digital piano or keyboard, it's safe to say your search is over.
