Kawai ES60
Product information "Kawai ES60"
For beginners at the start of their musical journey
This brand‑new model features Kawai’s characteristic keyboard action and sound technologies that reproduce the touch and tone of an acoustic grand in an ultra‑portable instrument. The newly developed Responsive Hammer Lite (RHL) action provides fully graded keys that support the development of hand strength and technique. It also incorporates the authentic hammer‑sensing and key‑damping technologies from the latest CN201 and CN301 models, ensuring excellent playability and control with low mechanical noise.
The ES60 delivers the full, expressive sound of the Shigeru Kawai SK‑EX concert grand, reproduced with Harmonic Imaging sound technology. This ensures smooth tonal transitions from pianissimo to fortissimo and allows aspiring pianists to learn and master expressive dynamic control. In addition to acoustic piano voices, the ES60 offers a selection of electric pianos, organs, strings and other instruments to inspire players to perform or accompany a wide range of musical genres at home or on stage. Its 20 W stereo speaker system, fitted with the same speakers used in the highly praised ES120, provides impressive volume with a rich, clear sound for a great listening experience.
Weighing just 11 kg, the ultra‑portable ES60 is easy to carry around the house or from the classroom to the concert hall. The instrument features 1/4" stereo line‑out jacks for recording or additional amplification and a full‑size headphone jack conveniently located on the front of the instrument. A USB‑MIDI port enables connection to computers and smart devices and supports a range of learning apps such as Skoove, Tomplay and Kawai’s PiaBookPlayer. Operation of the ES60 is via two buttons on the control panel with handy function labels behind the keyboard and can also be controlled using the PianoRemote app for iOS and Android devices.
