Kawai CN201R

The Kawai CN201 digital piano with Responsive Hammer III keyboard and 88 keys with counterweight will give you an amazing playing experience, enhanced by the superior sound of the SK-EX and EX concert grand pianos. You'll also enjoy Bluetooth® MIDI and Audio connectivity as well as built-in teaching and recording features.

CLAVIATURE
When you play the Responsive Hammer III, you'll have the authentic feeling of touching an acoustic grand piano - realistic key movement with a rigid springless design provides a smooth and natural piano playing experience. The keyboard surface is made of the award-winning Ivory Touch material, which, thanks to its soft texture, wicks sweat away from your fingertips to help control your playing. It also has a natural matte finish that is smooth but not slippery. The instrument's triple sensor key detection system improves response and accuracy, and the intricate construction of the mechanics helps minimize noise and key fluctuations during staccato or fortissimo passages.

SOUND
The CN301 offers you the sounds of two world-class instruments and several others for added variety.

Earning a reputation as "Japan's premier pianos," Shigeru Kawai pianos grace the stages of concert halls and music institutions around the world and are prized for their outstanding tonal clarity and exceptional dynamic range. The flagship model is the SK-EX Concert, a fitting complement to the highly regarded Kawai EX concert grand, which has often been the choice of professional pianists at such prestigious events as the Chopin, Tchaikovsky and Rubinstein International Piano Competitions, among others.

The instruments are faithfully reproduced with full 88-key sampling using patented Progressive Harmonic Imaging™ sound technology to create a new standard in digital piano sound quality.

In addition to the classic-sounding grand piano sounds, the CN201 also offers a selection of jazz, pop and modern variations suitable for a variety of musical genres. Also included is the traditional Kawai piano sound for compositions that evoke a sense of nostalgia or require a slightly more intimate tonal character.
A powerful effects processor enhances the instrument's excellent fundamental sounds and applies additional layers of detail that contribute to a more realistic sound and bring performances to life. Studio-quality reverb allows pianists to find themselves in one of six acoustic environments, from a small practice room to an inspiring grand cathedral.

FEATURES
Dual Playing mode allows you to layer two different sounds, such as piano and strings, while Split and Four Hands modes divide the keyboard into two independent sections. This feature is particularly useful in teaching environments where it allows teacher and student (or student and student) to play together on one instrument. With a strong emphasis on the realism of the acoustic piano, CN301 emphasizes teaching modes, includes traditional finger exercises, scales and warm-up drills, and includes accompanying books for all classical scores to further aid piano development.

The convenient metronome function and integrated lessons ensure that regular practice is both productive and engaging for the budding pianist.
The easy-to-use control interface is neatly recessed into the left cheek block. It is dominated by a high-resolution OLED display that provides information about the currently selected sound, function or setting.Unlike most other digital pianos in its class, the CN301's various sounds and functions are selected directly from the control panel. This helps simplify operation and ensures that even the youngest members of the family can enjoy the piano.

CONCEPTIVITY
Bluetooth wireless connectivity allows for both MIDI and Audio transfers. When paired with a phone or tablet or laptop, CN201 owners can enjoy a wide range of exciting music apps that enhance their learning and playing experience, or stream audio from songs and videos directly through the instrument's premium amplifier and speaker systems without the need to connect additional cables.
