Part Exchange Welcome - Call or email your details for a great deal Kawai ES 100 Portable Piano Black An excellent introduction to Kawais portable piano line-up. The ES100 is the latest addition to Kawais highly respected series of portable digital pianos, combining our class-leading authentic keyboard action and piano sound technologies within a lightweight, affordable package. Kawai has been crafting musical instruments for over 85 years, maintaining traditional processes while embracing the latest technical innovations. These decades of experience afford our engineers a wealth of knowledge from which to create stunning digital instruments, in a quest to perfect the art of the piano. Realistic touch, natural motion The ES100s Advanced Hammer Action IV-F (AHA IV-F) keyboard action has been developed to represent the distinctive touch of an acoustic grand piano. Its springless technology and sturdy construction delivers consistent upward and downward motion for a smooth, natural, and highly authentic piano playing experience. Featuring 88 grade-weighted keys, the ES100 keyboard responds just like a real grand piano, and is therefore an ideal choice for beginners seeking a starter instrument on which to learn. However, its realistic, acoustic-like touch will also appeal to more experienced players looking for a second piano for after-hours practise, or to simply enjoy a little music at the holiday home. True character in every note Yet, regardless of playing ability, the ES100s rich piano sounds are guaranteed to inspire and impress, with unique 88-key sampling, advanced resonance effects, and proprietary Harmonic Imaging technology delivering a realistic and highly enjoyable musical experience. Inspiring features Moreover, the impressive ES100 also offers a variety of useful features to complement its authentic keyboard touch and rich grand piano sounds. The integrated lesson function, with adjustable metronome and song recorder, is an invaluable tool for aspiring pianists, while additional instrument voices, Dual and Split playing modes, and 100 drum rhythms allow players of all levels to indulge their creative spirit. Reverbs, noises, & resonances Additional reverberation effects that simulate the acoustic environment of a recital room, live stage, or concert hall are also applied, with settings to adjust voicing, sympathetic resonance, and other acoustic characteristics. The result is a rich, vibrant piano tone that delivers breathtaking realism and authenticity. At just 15 kilograms (33 lbs.), this portable instrument is light enough to be carried around the home, school, or place of worship with comfortable ease Specs Keyboard Advanced Hammer Action IV-F (AHA IV-F), 88 weighted keys Sound Source Harmonic Imaging™ (HI), 88-key piano sampling Piano Sounds Concert Grand, Concert Grand 2, Studio Grand, Studio Grand 2, Mellow Grand, Mellow Grand 2, Modern Piano, Rock Piano Other Sounds Classic E.Piano, 60s E.Piano, Modern E.Piano, Jazz Organ, Church Organ, Slow Strings, String Ensemble, Wood Bass, Electric Bass, Harpsichord, Vibraphone Polyphony max. 192 notes Reverb Room, Small Hall, Concert Hall, Off Sound Settings Damper Resonance, Voicing, Fall-back Noise, Damper Noise, Brilliance, Table EQ Internal Recorder 3 song recorder - approximately 15,000 note memory capacity Registration 4 memories Dual Mode yes, with adjustable volume balance Split Mode yes, with adjustable volume balance Lesson Function Alfreds Basic Piano 1A/1B, Burgmuller 25 (Opus 100) lesson songs Metronome 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 3/8, 6/8 (Volume/Tempo adjustable), 100 drum rhythms Demo Songs 12 songs Other Functions Transpose, Tuning, Temperament, Speakers On/Off , User Memory, Factory Reset, Auto Power Off MIDI Functions Transmit MIDI Program Change, MIDI Channel, Local Control, Multi-timbral Mode Jacks MIDI (IN/OUT), DAMPER (for F-10H), Headphones x 2 Speaker System (8 x 12 cm) x 2 Output Power 7 W x 2 Power Consump

I love this digital piano. For years, I've wanted to find one that feels and sounds like playing a real piano, or fairly close to this at least, but which I can listen to with headphones and also connect to a computer, so it can record easily. I've tried lots of others on the market, but often found them a bit clunky, even ones much more expensive than this. I think Kawai have done something amazing here - in combining fantastic piano like action with top quality sound (especially through headphones), at a very reasonable price. Rimmers go one better and have cheaper than I've found anywhere else. Thank you.

The Kawai ES 100 Digital piano represents exceptional value for money. It comprises a beautifully weighted keyboard, with a small selection of piano/organ voices: The quality of these being virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. I bought this for my son to take to university in the fall (ABRSM grade 7) and he's delighted. Comparing it to our other much more expensive Yamaha Clavinova, I'm not sure its action isn't even better. If you want "bells and whistles" then this probably is not the product for you. If, however, you want a product with a clean/simple aesthetic, where all the monies have been devoted to the keys and piano voicing, I'd look no further.
