Read Rimmers Music Reviews

Kawai CA49RW Digital Piano Rosewood Replaces CA48RW As with the leading CA99 and CA79 models launched earlier in the year, the CA49 and CA59 incorporate technologies developed in collaboration with premium Japanese audio equipment manufacturer, Onkyo. Both instruments feature new motherboard and amplification hardware designed for richer, higher quality sound, and 4-speaker delivery systems that reproduce the sound field of a grand piano. The latest models use improved cheekblock control panels that incorporate modern OLED graphic displays, while the CA49 boasts a new interface for easier, more intuitive operation. The updated CA49 and CA59 feature enhanced Shigeru Kawai grand piano sounds, providing a more natural and realistic playing experience, while the CA59 includes a new Shigeru Kawai SK-5 studio grand sound and additional Virtual Technician parameters for even greater tonal variety. Both instruments include Bluetooth MIDI connectivity, with the CA59 also boasting Bluetooth Audio, with aptX support providing high quality wireless audio with minimal latency. Finally, the new CA49 and CA59 possess updated cabinet designs, adopting the taller body and rounded edge details of the flagship Concert Artist models, for a more impressive, premium appearance. PiaBookPlayer app The PiaBookPlayer app allows Kawai digital piano* owners to view the notated scores of the many lesson songs and practise pieces built into their digital piano, and listen to these pieces playing back through the instrument’s Shigeru Kawai grand piano sounds. PiaBookPlayer takes advantage of the wireless Bluetooth MIDI feature built into many Kawai digital pianos, allowing players to enjoy listening to classical pieces and viewing their musical scores from the comfort of an armchair. The app also allows pages of the notated score to be advanced using the instrument’s soft or sostenuto pedals, for hands-free page turning. Features - Class-leading Grand Feel Compact wooden-key keyboard action - Stunning Shigeru Kawai SK-EX, SK-5* and Kawai EX concert grand piano sounds, with full 88-key sampling - High-performance sound generation system developed in partnership with Onkyo - Integrated Bluetooth MIDI and Audio* for wireless communication with smart devices - Easy-to-use cheekblock control panel with high resolution OLED display - Flexible Virtual Technician function with intuitive Smart Mode feature - Built-in Burgmuller, Beyer, Chopin, Czerny etudes and Alfred lesson songs - WAV/MP3/MIDI file record and playback via USB memory* - Attractive, modern cabinet design available in three different wood finishes * CA59 only PianoRemote app support to be added with future software update. Grand Feel Compact wooden-key keyboard action with extended pivot length The CA49 and CA59 are the latest Kawai digital pianos to utilise the Grand Feel Compact wooden-key keyboard action. As its name suggest, the GF Compact action has been designed to reproduce the authentic touch weight characteristics of the industry-leading Grand Feel keyboard actions, within a smaller form factor. This action retains the long wooden keysticks used for all 88 black and white keys, and the familiar seesaw mechanism employed by acoustic grand piano actions for centuries. However, despite its smaller unit size, Grand Feel Compact features an extended key pivot length, providing a more consistent touch weight when playing towards the rear of the keyboard. This crucial detail ensures the new CA49 and CA59 deliver the most realistic playing experience in their class. As with all modern wooden-key Kawai actions, Grand Feel Compact also incorporates grade-weighted hammers, bass region counterweights, and let-off simulation for added authenticity, while its accurate triple-sensor key detection system allows rapidly repeated notes such as trills to be performed smoothly, without unnatural breaks in sound. Piano sound: Celebrated concert grand pianos, reproduced using high-performance technologies The rich, expressive sound of Kawai’s celebrated concert grand pianos are at the heart of the new CA49 and CA59, with both the flagship Shigeru Kawai SK-EX and highly-acclaimed Kawai EX instruments lovingly recorded and faithfully produced using full 88-key stereo sampling. With two distinctive Kawai concert grand pianos, a traditional upright, and the CA59’s newly added Shigeru Kawai SK-5
