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 |

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.

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

As with all freight shipping, make sure you inspect the box for damages before you sign. I actually opened the box in front of the guy to check some of the dents I saw on the outside of the box. I found a 2 inch puncture on the side of the box that actually punctured all the way in past 2 layers of thick cardboard packaging inside. Luckly it hit a gap in the packaging and barely missed damaging the actual piano.
With that said its a beautiful piano - we've been playing it every day. Brought it in rosewood which as others have said is very dark redish brown -- almost black like. I felt black was a bit too modern for the rest of our decor.
