Offering some of the most popular features and advanced technology available in an affordable instrument, the ES120 is an excellent introduction to the Kawai portable piano line-up. The ES120’s keyboard offers 88 grade-weighted keys designed to authentically reproduce the distinctive feel of an acoustic piano. All 88 notes of Kawai’s world-class Shigeru EX concert grand piano have been meticulously recorded and reproduced using Kawai’s exclusive Harmonic Imaging Sound Technology. The ES120’s sound and touch will make pianists feel as though they are performing on a fine acoustic instrument. For beginning students, the ES120 offers Bluetooth connectivity to allow a plethora of lesson functions via the PianoRemote and PiaBookPlayer apps for Android and iOS. Metronome, song recorder and “split” playing mode that allows the hands to practice independently are also offered in the app. The ES120 can become an attractive addition to any room with an optional stand and three-pedal assembly.
