The touch of a grand piano: Responsive Hammer Compact III keyboard mechanism.
The Responsive Hammer III keyboard action of the ES920 recreates the supreme touch of a quality acoustic grand piano with its realistic movement and springless, rigid design, providing a smooth and natural playing experience. The instrument's three-sensor hammer detection system enhances responsiveness and accuracy, while structural reinforcements throughout the action help minimize key noise and key movement during staccato and fortissimo passages.
The keyboard weight is tailored to mimic the heavier bass hammers and lighter treble hammers of an acoustic piano, while the let-off simulation recreates the subtle notch feeling experienced when playing softly on the keys of a grand piano. These crucial features enable discerning pianists to practice with confidence in expanding their repertoire and ensure they won't encounter any surprises when performing on top-tier acoustic grand pianos.
The sound of three world-class instruments
Renowned as the "first pianos of Japan," Shigeru Kawai instruments grace the stages of concert halls and musical institutions worldwide, celebrated for their exceptional tonal clarity and dynamic range.
The ES920 captures the magnificent sound of two Shigeru Kawai instruments, the flagship SK-EX Concert and the mid-sized SK-5 Studio grand piano, allowing musicians to appreciate the contrasting properties of each.
Additionally, the ES920 also provides the distinctive sound of the highly acclaimed Kawai EX concert grand piano, which has been chosen by professional pianists at prestigious events like the international Chopin, Tchaikovsky, and Rubinstein piano competitions, among others.
All three instruments are faithfully reproduced with complete 88-key sampling using the exclusive Harmonic Imaging™ sound technology, setting a new standard in digital piano tonal quality.
Technical specifications
Resonance and sonic clarity that fill the room
The impressive 40W output system of the ES920 utilizes speaker enclosures that produce a rich and expansive sound, capable of competing with much larger console digital pianos. This design results in a compact and portable instrument capable of delighting medium-sized audiences without the need for additional amplification.
