Kawai KDP120

About the Kawai KDP120

Kawai's Responsive Hammer Compact keyboard action draws on the company's decades of acoustic piano manufacturing experience, using actual counterweighted hammers rather than a purely simulated spring-based mechanism - a genuine engineering carryover from Kawai's grand and upright piano production rather than a digital-only design. Its Harmonic Imaging sound technology samples Kawai's own acoustic concert grand pianos, giving a tonal identity distinctly tied to the brand's own instrument-building heritage.

As an acoustic piano manufacturer that also builds digital instruments, Kawai brings a different perspective to the KDP120 than companies whose primary business is electronics - the touch and tone are informed by what the same company's acoustic pianos actually feel and sound like, a meaningful distinction for buyers who value that continuity between a manufacturer's acoustic and digital lines.

Sound character of the Kawai KDP120

Kawai's Harmonic Imaging sound source models the sympathetic resonance and complex overtones of an acoustic piano rather than playing back a single flat sample per note, giving the entry-level KDP120 a warmer, more resonant tone than a simpler stereo-sample engine, even with its Compact hammer action.
