Features Overview

Tone

The CN201 offers a highly detailed acoustic piano portrait, employing Kawais proprietary Progressive Harmonic Imaging sampling technology. This ensures smooth tonal transitions across the keyboard and throughout the entire dynamic range.

Touch

The new and improved class-leading Responsive Hammer III keyboard action on the CN201 authentically re-creates the exceptional touch of an acoustic grand piano. Its realistic movement and rigid springless design provide a smooth, natural piano playing experience. A triple-sensor key detection system enhances responsiveness and accuracy.

Ivory Touch Key Surfaces

The impressive CN201 features our highly regarded Ivory Touch key surfaces. This finely textured material gently absorbs fingertip perspiration and oils to avoid slipping and provide greater playing control. Moisture is absorbed without dirt or grease permeating the key surfaces, allowing them to be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth.

Superior Sound

The new CN201 features a premium speaker and audio system which delivers improved tonal clarity and superior sound.

Song Recorder

The recorder on the CN201 allows up to three songs to be stored in internal memory and played back at the touch of a button. These recordings can serve as convenient self-assessment tools for players of all skill levels.

Bluetooth

In addition to standard USB and MIDI ports, the new CN Series also boast integrated Bluetooth Audio technology, which allows music streaming through the pianos speaker system. Bluetooth MIDI technology is also incorporated, allowing the digital piano to communicate with supported smart devices wirelessly.

Concert Magic

This exclusive feature lets anyone enjoy the thrill of playing the piano, even if youve never played before.

Grand Feel Pedal System

The CN201 features three pedals soft, sostenuto, and damper (with half-damper capability). The new Grand Feel Pedal System reproduces the individual weighting of each of the three pedals of the Kawai EX concert grand.

Adjustable Music Rest

As with a grand piano, the viewing angle of the CN201 music rest can be adjusted to suit the performers playing position or laid flat to provide a level surface for notating scores.
