Got one last time and my daughters love it! I asked B&H to price match and used their Payboo card to save on the tax. Thanks Slickdeals!

How did you save tax ? I mean taxes are always collected, so is this same credit card feature using which u were able to avoid sales tax ?

Pretty much, just from what I've read.

Why is it that only this link shows the $1549 price? If I search Kawai CA49 on Adorama I only see the $1999 item. Is this link showing some older model while direct search on their site returns a newer model?

Any input is appreciated.

The newer model is CA401, so no. This is a standard CA49 model in rosewood only, the only limitation I see being the color if you don't like it,
This is a discount on a discounted model on clearance meant to make way for the new Kawai CA401. IMO you would be very hard pressed to find a better value on a digital piano at this point in time.

Adorama keeps on doing this whenever they have a specail sale price on sd, it only works thru the link. like that people that are willing to buy it anyway pay full price

It appears it's back up to $1999.

I keep holding out hoping the price drops some more. I might end up getting burned like I did on the satin black finisht that I originally wanted. I don't think they've had it since around the first of the year, so I imagine those are long gone. Dark rosewood is a distant #2 for me but I could live with it. Satin white is a no-go for me.

I like the SK tone and that's one of the most important features for me. Action is right up there, which I can't test in person but I like the RH3 from Kawai. I would assume that I would like the GFC action better.

I wish it had a few more features that I could use but I'm not willing to pay 2x as much to get them in a home-digital piano cabinetry (usb-recording and line-out). The closest at this price point is the RP-107 but the tone is quite different from what I can hear in videos etc. I imagine the PHA4, although it's supposed to be a great action, is quite different from the CA49 GFC. I like the thought of longer wooden keys, even if it's their compact version.
