The feel of a real acoustic piano
Kawai developed their Grand Feel Compact action used in the CA58 to capture the distinctive feel of an acoustic grand piano. With an innovative triple sensor key detection that provides consistent upward/downward motion, this action gives you a natural, smooth, piano playing experience. Just as acoustic piano hammers are heavier in the bass and get lighter as you move up towards the treble end of the keyboard, the Grand Feel Compact action uses different hammer weights that are graded for each playing range. This fastidious attention to detail gives you maximum stability when playing fortissimo passages while giving you the delicate pianissimo control you need.
Harmonic Imaging XL technology delivers stunning grand piano sound
Sit down at the Kawai CA58 and play. The stunning piano sound you hear is none other than the meticulously sampled sound of a hand-crafted Kawai concert grand piano, with all 88 keys painstakingly recorded and faithfully reproduced using Kawai’s Harmonic Imaging XL technology. This proprietary process accurately re-creates the immense dynamic range of the grand piano, giving you a truly impressive measure of expressiveness, from ppp to fff. If this were the only sound onboard the CA58, it would be a fabulous value, but there’s a total of 42 amazing sounds, including orchestral strings, electric pianos, organs, vibes, harpsichord, choir, and more.
Features to nurture your development as a pianist
Kawai’s CA58 digital piano includes a 10-song recorder, letting you record your performances to internal memory and play them back at the touch of a button. What’s more, there’s a cool lesson feature that helps aspiring pianists to learn the piano using an onboard collection of etudes from Czerny, Burgmüller, Beyer, Bach, and Beethoven, as well as songs from popular Alfred course books. You can practice left and right hand parts for each piece separately, and adjust the tempo to master the more difficult passages. Dual, Split, and Four-Hands modes (and dual headphone jacks) let you collaborate with a teacher or duet partner, while 256-note polyphony is more than enough to ensure that all your notes are heard. Kawai’s Grand Feel Grand Feel pedal system replicates the feel and functionality of a real grand piano triple-pedal setup. A sliding key cover and beautiful furniture-grade finish complete the package.
