An outstanding introduction to Concert Artistquality
The CA17 digital piano is the latest addition toKawai’s highly respected range of Concert Artist instruments, offering many ofthe strengths of the premium models, within a more compact and aff ordablepackage.
RM3 Grand II keyboard action
Embracing many of the long-establishedprinciples associated with an acoustic piano, the CA17’s highly regarded RM3Grand II keyboard action combines realistic materials, motion, and mechanism torecreate the exceptional touch of the finest concert grand pianos.
All 88 black and white keys are crafted fromlong pieces of wood, and pivot smoothly on a central balance pin with the same‘seesaw’ motion as an acoustic piano key. The weight of the keyboard is gradedfrom bass to treble, with additional characteristics such as let-off simulationand counterweights further enhancing touch realism.
Ivory Touch key surfaces
The exceptional CA17 features Kawai’s luxuriousIvory Touch key surfaces as standard. This finely textured material gentlyabsorbs fingertip perspiration and oils to assist playing control, andpossesses a natural, matte finish that is smooth but not slippery.
Triple-sensor key detection
The RM3 Grand II keyboard action also boastsKawai’s latest triple-sensor key detection system for enhanced playing realismand accuracy. The third sensor improves responsiveness when playing the samekey repeatedly, and allows the sound of a single note to be gradually ‘layered’without previous tones being cut-off or lost.
88-key piano sampling
The rich, expressive sound of the SK-EX and EXconcert grand pianos is at the heart of the new CA17, with all eighty-eightkeys of these world-class instruments painstakingly recorded, meticulouslyanalysed, and accurately reproduced as high-fidelity digital waveforms.Capturing each key individually in this way preserves the grand pianos’ uniqueharmonic character, and guarantees that the sound heard when playing any one ofthe Concert Artist’s wooden keys is a faithful representation of the originalacoustic source.
Harmonic Imaging XL technology
When playing a fine piano, the amount ofpressure applied to the keyboard affects not only the volume of the soundproduced, but also the unique tonal character of each note. Therefore, in orderto construct a realistic acoustic portrait of the SK-EX and EX concert grandpianos, not only is each key recorded individually, but also at a wide varietyof different volume levels, ranging from pianissimo to fortissimo. The new CA17offers a highly detailed acoustic portrait, with Harmonic Imaging XL technologyensuring smooth tonal transitions across the keyboard and throughout the entiredynamic range.
Breathtaking reverb, Additional voices
The CA17’s powerful digital effects engineenhances the instrument’s core sounds with advanced damper and stringresonance, and high quality reverb simulation. This latter feature allowspianists to position themselves within one of six acoustic environments,ranging from a small practise room to an inspirational grand cathedral.
The CA17 also includes a useful selection ofnon-acoustic piano sounds, ranging from electric pianos and drawbar or churchorgans, to strings, human choirs, and synth pads, adding greater variety tomusical performances.
Built-in lessons
The CA17’s convenient lesson function allowsaspiring pianists to learn piano with built-in classical Czerny, Beyer, andBurgmüller etudes, or a collection of songs from the popular Alfred seriescourse books.
Realistic pedal weighting
As a Concert Artist instrument, the CA17utilises Kawai’s unique Grand Feel Pedal System, accurately replicating theindividual weighting of the damper, soft, and sostenuto pedals of the SK-EX andEX concert grand pianos.
High-fidelity speaker system
To ensure a faithful reproduction of the SK-EXand EX concert grand pianos, the CA17 employs a high-fidelity speaker systemthat has been specially designed to provide both deep, rich bass and crisp,clear treble frequencies.
Broad, adjustable music rest
The CA17’s broad music rest is designed toaccommodate the most ambitious musical works. As with a grand piano, theviewing angle of the music rest can also be adjusted to suit the performer’splaying position.
MIDI and USB connectivity
The CA17 features traditional MIDI terminals anda USB port, allowing the instrument to connect with computers, tablets, andother MIDI devices. A dedicated iPad app for adjusting Virtual Techniciansettings is also available.
