I bought this model a few months back and it really is a great piano. I think it is worth the asking price when you consider what yo are getting. Each of the rendered pianos can be tailored to your exact spec across many parameters, but the default settings are perfect for me. It can be used as a high quality bluetooth speaker system with over 100 watts of amplification. It also has bluetooth midi and standard midi. The 100+ built in voices are great quality and it comes with hundreds of piano pieces built in. The list goes on. I compared it with similarly priced Yamaha and Roland pianos and this felt and sounded better in my opinion. The android based touch screen is a little laggy but I use the app on my ipad which is excellent.

Thanks for the review. I just have to note that on the time period 0:49 you show the Grand Feel II action (not III). Though on 0:53 it's correct. I see you have a sample of the Grand Feel III action in the background, standing on the CA79 piano, which interests me more. I hope that the screen can be completely turned off (along with the backlight) during practice, recording videos of self performance, etc.

But in this new series, the problem is still present. Although, Kawai promised to finally fix this problem in future firmware update. But it will work only on these new CA79/99 models. That is, in fact, the display is still glows, users just see a dark gray background, which can even interfere if there is dark lighting around. Also, this effect is very noticeable if one shoot a video, there will be a glowing gray background, because in fact the screen is not turned off, the backlight is still working.

I recently got a Kawai ES110, which I am very satisfied with. I think CA99 may be the next purchase if I later upgrade. The question is: when it's now possible to get a very good acoustic-sounding digital piano for the price of a cheap acoustic piano, what would not be possible to achieve with a digital piano for the price of a grand piano? The time should now be here when digital pianos completely could replace acoustic grand pianos. No need of tuning and with amplifier and speakers it will be possible to get higher volume than an acoustic piano. So shouldn't a digital grand already have replaced the acoustic one on classical concerts?

The CA99 was only released a few weeks ago at NAMM 2020 and I could already drive my local shop and buy it; that’s pretty impressive. It’s makes me think that there is something seriously wrong with the Kawai Novus NV5 or they have just decided not to release it in Australia. After 5 months of waiting I think I might give up and just get the CA99. I’m interested in the action... I never liked the GFII, I’m hoping the GFIII is a bit lighter.

I'm hoping that its not only a lighter action but a LESS NOISY action than the Yamaha CLP685 ,which I would have purchased, and was surprised they have not got a new range of digital pianos at the NAMM show. I presume its already available in Australia because its geographically nearer to Indonesia where Kawai is based.

I played the CA99 and it sounds better than an acoustic piano. Why? Better base notes. The base notes on the acoustic piano are just weak for me personally. It's just new technology. And you can tweak the sound a lot of ways. Not mentioning the fact that literally every single acoustic piano is out of tune because most people don't have the time, skills or money to tune it and it weighs 200kgs so once you put it down that's it. This one weighs less than 100kgs so you can move it around a bit if you need to.

Now my Casio has these dinky 16 watt speakers, but I have also hooked it up to my Logitech 200 watt gaming speakers, and it sounds astonishing.

I grew up in the 70's (college music major) learning on Steinway baby grands and uprights in the practice rooms. Bought two of these electronic pianos (Yamahas) over my lifetime and got rid of them both. They always sounded and felt like toys to me. No enjoyment. And the sustenuto pedals are hard as hell to operate, (I couldn't keep my heel on the ground...needed the strength of my entire leg to get the pedal down.) And the pedals CANNOT be adjusted. The spring is installed and set at the factory. These electronic pianos serve a purpose...but if you want the touch, sound and resonance of a REAL piano...you're just going to have to buy a real piano.

Replicate the feeling of playing an accoustic piano is simply too expensive even if it were possible. We talk about 4 or 5 levels of piano key tones for the best digital piano today while in an accoutic piano the variation is analog, or infinite

What the heck is the use of a superduper grand piano keyboard touch when you are sitting in front of a crappy looking truncated upright with a tiny little hinged ledge for the sheet music? The CA 98 had at least a music stand that was something like a grand piano. And why do all these demonstrations play elevator muzak, you only need a cheap stage piano for that.

I have not tried the CA99. Kawai does have a brilliant action, BUT I would still encourage anyone who is interested in a SERIOUS instrument and for whom the touch is THE most important factor to give the CASIO Celviano GP Series at try. The Casio action is not only a "grand feel" action - it IS a grand action with actual hammers and same keys as you would get buying a BECHSTEIN Grand piano. Its fantastic and the price point makes it unbeatable. Do consider Kawai, but their flagship Shigeru grand where the samples come from is very "sharp" in its tones. One brand I do recommend that you skip entirely when you are looking at digital pianos is Yamaha. The touch is just not what it should be!

False information, kawai action just as good as casio, both use long wooden key sticks, the casio is NOT a grand action, it's an imitation of the real thing like all the other brands and models until you get to the real hybrids like the yamaha avantgrand and kawai novus models, not they're not cheap, and it's the reason the casios are not as expensive because they are not using real acoustic actions like the true hybrids I mentioned.

Casios are lame. They sound artificial and their sustain is too short. The Shigeru Kawai isn't "sharp", in my opinion. It's known for its warm, clear, and balanced sound.

@@markfowlermusic There is nothing false about my information and I recent that! You many not have read my comment correctly because I am not dumping on a Kawai in any shape or form, in fact I do like the Kawai. So much so in fact I was days away from getting a Kawai when I discovered the Casio. Both have wooden keys of full length, BUT the hammer action is very different in the two. The only thing that compares to the hammer action of the Casio is (as you write) the Yamaha Avant grand but they cost 3-4 times as much and honestly I cannot really feel any significant difference in the touch and I find the Avant action ridiculously loud. I am sure the sound system is better on the Yamahas, but... Casio is totally fine on sound. The Casio wins by offering an amazing playing experience. I invested in the GP300 but if you want to go even higher get the new GP510 where Casio has tweeted the midrange sound to give even more power.

@@cookingconfessions you said the casio is a real grand action, I am correcting you as its nothing like a grand action, doesn't use real grand piano action components, just claims to be a hybrid which it isn't. Its a basic digital piano action marketed falsely by casio as a grand hybrid, this is a known misconception and many others have commented on it, the only true hybrids with grand actions are the novus kawai and avantgrand yamaha, that's it!

@@markfowlermusic Yes that is what I said and I stand by it - here is why: What is the most important thing for a pianist? 100% of people will say that it is the touch and feel. The Casio has the touch and feel of a Grand Piano. These are Bechstein Piano keys - Exactly the same materials, the same weight and the same pivot. They control a hammer action so the feel of a Grand truly is there. I honestly question if you have ever played one - have you? The Yamaha Avant grand are a totally different breed of hybrid piano and they are over the top and out of most regular peoples price range or willingness to spend. When I was researching the market to buy a digital piano I tried everything and Casio blew me away from the first time I played it and it was after I had gone though all the top Clavinova models, Kawai CAs and Roland LX models. Avant Grand - Yes sure, but its totally depended on your willingness to spend insane amount of money on a digital instrument. Also size wise the CASIO excel in it compactness for a smaller house or apartment.
