Should've bought this in Satin Black 2-3 months ago when they had it on sale and in stock.

Back in stock, eh? It went out of stock quickly last time, so jump if you want it. Mine is supposed to be delivered on Tuesday. Took about two weeks to make it to the "schedule a delivery" stage, so don't expect Prime delivery times.😁

How do the keys feel compared to a traditional piano? Looking for something that feels just as heavy

Bought this last year at $1999 but with two separate 15% cash back deals which were stackable, so net was less than $1500 for me. I was replacing a 30 year-old Roland KR1700, a beautiful cherry-toned, $4000 heavy wooden console digital whose key mechanisms kept breaking. I got pretty efficient at repairing them myself but it was still an hour-long PIA each time and I finally got tired of it. The Kawai is one of very few affordable instruments I could find that was available in any wood tone finish other than piano black or tuxedo white, which was important to me. The action and sound quality are vastly better than my retired Roland. I'm not a skilled pianist by any measure but I love this instrument. Not sure if the sound quality will come through but here's a clip of me playing:

Wow!! There's another one out there?! I'm looking to replace my 25yo Roland KR 570 that has also had numerous key repairs. Paid $4500 in…1997 probably.

Amazingly the 3.5" disk drive still works! Lol

My bad---my Roland was a KR770, not a 1700. Pretty similar to yours I would think. They were cutting edge digital instruments in the 90s, but I never needed or used any of the many gee-whiz features on my Roland. Part of the high price, I think, was that beautiful cherry-toned cabinet. It was unique even back then. I gave my Roland to my son when I bought the Kawaii. But first I showed him how to fix broken key actions. Also had to replace the pedal assembly last year, tricky and not easy to find.
