About This Product
    Product Name: Kawai CA49 88-Key Grand Feel Compact Digital Piano with Bench, Premium Rosewood
    Product Description: As the successor to the popular CA48 piano, the Kawai CA49 Digital Piano continues a legacy of authentic sound and premium features. The Kawai CA49 Digital Piano incorporates technologies developed in collaboration with premium audio equipment manufacturer, Onkyo, and features a new motherboard and amplification system designed to deliver richer, higher quality sound.
    This updated model also preserves the core Grand Feel Compact wooden-key keyboard action and acoustic piano sound of Shigeru Kawai SK-EX and Kawai EX Concert Grand Pianos, providing a more natural and realistic playing experience. The new Low Volume Balance function improves consistency when practicing at reduced volume levels.
    The CA49 possesses an updated cabinet design, adopting the taller body and rounded edge details of the larger Concert Artist models, for a more impressive, premium experience. It also boasts an improved cheekblock control panel that includes a modern OLED graphic display for easy operation.
    The Kawai Concert Artist (CA) Series is one of the most award-winning lines of digital pianos available today, and the Kawai CA49 Digital Piano is a model that will deliver players of all levels a premium piano experience.
    Touch
    The CA49 digital piano utilizes Kawai's Grand Feel Compact keyboard action, which draws upon 90 years of acoustic piano craftsmanship to provide an exceptionally realistic playing experience. All 88 black and white keys are crafted entirely from long pieces of wood, with finely textured Ivory Touch key surfaces applied to assist playing control.
    As with an acoustic grand piano action, the keys rest on a metal balance pin and move with a smooth seesaw-like motion, while the extended pivot length ensures a consistent, evenly-balanced touch weight - even when playing towards the back of the key.
    The Grand Feel Compact action 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 n

    I would keep waiting just a bit longer, if and when we get a new model in this bracket, they'll have to drop it further.

    There are plenty of other options though. Contrary to popular belief, there is very minimal performative difference between a budget vs expensive piano if you go the Slickdeal route, get yourself some speakers and an amp.

    In a sort of press keys get noise sure. If you want to mimic an accoustic though there's a very significant difference.

    I bought this digital piano for my mother, a retired classical piano teacher, back in November (for $100 more) due to her moving to a condo and unable to have a real piano. She is typically very picky but she really enjoys this instrument! It is a great digital piano at its price point. When we bought it in November there was a backorder that delayed delivery by a week, otherwise no issues with Adorama.

    Bought this same piano during the last sale. I have no regrets. Keys feel great. So many piano sounds. It has an app that you connect via Bluetooth and can play songs. Overall, still very happy with my purchase. I play it almost every other day.

    Picked this up a few weeks ago at the same price.

    I'm very happy with it. It's solid, sturdy, and it feels and plays like a real piano.

    Digital pianos have come a really long way. I feel the vast majority of pianists, including advanced classical pianists, would be satisfied with this piano for their home instrument. Imo, from a sound and feel perspective, you'd have to be a real audiophile or pro for the value proposition to be worth it to upgrade to the next level.
