Three sensory perception.....

The Responsible Hammer Compact II mechanism uses a three-point sensor system for an enhanced playing experience.
The added third sensor improves responsiveness when playing the same note repeatedly, unlike traditional two-sensor keyboards, allowing the sound of a single note to be gradually "layered" without losing the previous note.
Kawai's piano mechanics monitor the speed at which each key is released, influencing the sound character of piano notes and placing more emphasis on staccato and legato playing.

Acoustic piano weighting

Just as acoustic pianos use heavier and lighter hammers, the RHCII key mechanism uses different hammer weights to suit all playing styles.
Such details provide greater stability in fortissimo playing while maintaining the delicate pianissimo intonation to satisfy the needs of even the most demanding pianist.

The sound of the piano: Shigeru Kawai SK-EX concert grand piano

The Shigeru Kawai SK-EX concert piano is the next step in artistic piano design. It goes without saying that Japan's premiere piano is receiving much acclaim from concert halls and music institutions around the world for its exceptional clarity and dynamic range.
The SK-EX is often chosen by professional pianists at prestigious events such as the Chopin, Tchaikovsky and Rubenstein International Piano Competitions. With a truly wonderful sound and sensitive touch, the SK-EX can best be described in one word - unparalleled.

Real character in every sound

The KDP120 digital piano reproduces the beautiful sound of Kawai's renowned concert grand piano, the 88 sampled sounds of the exceptional instrument are carefully recorded, analyzed and faithfully reproduced using advanced Harmonic Imaging technology.
The unique recording of each note thus preserves the rich harmonic character of the SK-EX concert piano and guarantees that when playing the weighted keys of the KDP110, you can hear a reliable representation of the original acoustic source.

Harmonic Imaging technology

When playing the piano sensitively, the pressure on the keyboard affects not only the volume of the note, but also the unique timbre of each note. Therefore, in order to build the realistic acoustic sound of the SK-EX concert piano, not only are each sound sample recorded separately, but also in various volumes, from gentle pianissimo to stormy forte.
The KDP120 offers a collection of highly detailed acoustic samples that utilize Kawai's proprietary Harmonic Imaging sound technology, ensuring fine-tuning across the keyboard and throughout the dynamic range, and responsive playing.

Realistic echo effects

The KDP120's powerful digital effects further enhance the instrument's essential sound, applying additional reverb effects that simulate the acoustic environment of a room, live stage or concert hall and bring your performance to life.
The result is a rich, vibrant piano sound that delivers breathtaking realism and authenticity.

Features of the digital piano: Comfort and flexibility

The elegant KDP120 also includes a number of convenient digital functions to complement the authentic keyboard touch and piano performance. The ability to record and play different instrument sounds, built-in lesson songs and a custom melody are just some of the functions available from the discreetly placed curved block control panel. Bluetooth® and USB functions allow the instrument to be easily connected to other devices.

Built-in tutorial function

The KDP120's convenient lesson function allows student pianists to learn classical piano from the collection of Czerny, Burgmüller and Beyer etudes or from the popular Alfred Basic Piano textbooks.
The left and right parts of each etude or song can be practiced separately, the built-in metronome and adjustable tempo controls help to improve timing and rhythm.

Additional sounds and playback modes

In addition to realistic acoustic piano sounds, the KDP120 offers a wide range of instrument sounds, including electric pianos, organs, harpsichord, vibraphone and strings.
Dual Play mode allows you to play two different sounds, such as an acoustic piano and a string ensemble.

Excellent headphone experience

The KDP120's Surround Headphone Sound (SHS) technology enhances the depth and realism of sound when using headphones. The player can choose from three different acoustic settings that adjust the spatial positioning of the sound.
In addition, the KDP120 allows musicians to select different headphone types (open, semi-open, closed, ear canal, etc.) for an optimized listening experience.

Concert piano pedal system

The KDP120's reputation is further strengthened in the digital piano category by the Kawai Grand Feel Pedal System. This unique feature represents the position and unique weighting of the damper, soft and sustain pedals on the Shigeru Kawai SK-EX concert piano.

Connection options

The KDP120 has a USB MIDI connector and standard MIDI input/output connectors that allow the piano to be connected to a computer or other MIDI devices such as synthesizers and workstations.
Plus, dual headphone jacks allow a teacher and student to study together in silence, or two pianists to practice simultaneously.

Energy saving

The KDP120 uses energy-efficient components that reduce electricity consumption by 60% compared to previous models.
The instrument's optional energy-saving function can automatically turn off the piano after a set period of time, thereby preventing unnecessary energy consumption.
