As one of the world's premier builders of acoustic pianos, Kawai has long understood the vital importance of "feel" to the pianist. For this reason, Kawai has long pioneered the use of real wooden keys in digital piano actions that duplicate both the weight and the mechanical movement of our fine grand pianos.
|
|
|
Kawai's new
AWA PRO action takes our wooden-key action to an even higher level. By closely studying the characteristics of our acclaimed EX Concert Piano, Kawai engineers have brought a new level of nuance to our digital piano actions.
|
|
|
Now, the hammer weight is graded from top to bottom to replicate the dynamic weight curve of the EX Concert Piano. Additionally, the bass keys are counter-balanced to create a more even static weight curve. This combination of graded weights and counterbalances give the AWA PRO action a remarkably realistic feel throughout all dynamic ranges. The AWA PRO is found on the new MP8 as well as the CA5, CA7, CA9
, CP205, CP175 and CP155. .

The newest Kawai digital piano action is the
Advanced Hammer Action IV with
AR Technology. AR stands for '"Acoustic Response" and refers to several technical advances in the AHA IV that help improve overall responsiveness and feel. An improved jack and hammer design provides a more solid and "connected" feeling to the player.
|
|
In addition, the software "touch curve" of the action has been re-designed for greater resolution, creating an increased and smoother dynamic range in the sound. The AHA IV is available on the new ES4 Portable Digital Piano along with the CN2, CN3, CN4, CP115 and CP185.
|
|
|
The
Advanced Hammer Action III keyboard is found on the ES5 and CL20. It features an industry standard weighted, graded-hammer mechanism, not the simple spring-loaded "weighted" action found on many other digital pianos. |
