KAWAI ES920 // ACOUSTIC PIANO SOUNDS // NO TALKING

[@jean-gabrielclermont-tonne2475]

Kawai - best sounds ever. Because - These are real sparkling sounds.

[@JuanceMusicOK]

Kawai es una muy buena marca! Fue la segunda marca de teclado que tuve y la verdad que su sonido perduró por más de 12 años!!! Increíble!

[@alabamaflip2053]

Excellent playing! Lots of talent showing through. Thank you for your time and sharing!

My God! For a first class stage piano, $1,800 new.

[@philsarkol341]

In my internet search for a good digital piano,( due to covid we are not able to visit a store and try it out hands-on) I have seen and heard several pianists who can play the piano. Some can play it well, and some not so well. But as it seems to me, you sir, cannot only play it well, but you can play it with true musical intention, and if my ears don't deceive me, in every demo you play, that sense of musicality is being expressed so beautifully, by you, that it makes every piano come to it's fullest potential as a true musical instrument. For that I thank you!

[@grandav94]

Hello Phil, I don't know how to thank you. Perhaps don't I have to answer. Your congratulations feet what I want to do with those videos. Just do the music priority, before speak about technical specifications. Then thanks a lot. David.

Hallo David, this Kawai sounds very good!! I think thanks to its inner powerful speakers, also...

Dear David. Thanks for the beautiful playing. Could you please share the title of the song you play from 0:54 onwards. I know the song, but cannot come up with the title - I would really like to find the chords. Thank you.

[@Jinjukei]

I would love to know, too :)

[@shawnaebbeson7882]

I am intrigued by this unit for my studio. I currently have the Lowrey EZP3 (which is a Kawai) and two Korg Kross 1-88 units (one is used live). I may want to buy the Kawai ES520 or ES920in the future. The sound is beautiful. I have been a Kawai fan since the MP5..

[@Jinjukei]

Wonderful! I would love to know which songs you started to play at 1:27 and 1:58. They are beautiful and I would pay for the sheets for sure :) And I also would love to know which stand you're using? :)

[@hugobite]

Beautiful... Hi... I have a little problem, since I was beginner, I want to play repeatedly ( "a" note/key) fast (pianissimo) with this es920 (RHIII), but the bounce effect make it a little unpredictable, so sometimes it become silent if play pp/ppp a note repeatedly fast. Maybe you have an idea, how to improve the technics to play it on RH3. It is no problem if playing fast with difference keys/note, but it is a little hard for me to play the same note/keys repeatedly fast.

[@russgoddard7989]

This is the best I've heard a Kawai sound - what settings did you use? Thanks!

[@someguyfromarcticfreezer6854]

Do you have Kawai ES920 or CN29/CN39? this is on Piano Technician. On CN39: Push [1] then push [2] you will find piano technician. You will find different sounds adjustments.

[@robertmichalscheck3072]

Hello,what was that small piece staring at around 1:58,is that from a song or just chords your playing?really like it.

[@grandav94]

Hello Robert, thank you for your question. The little piece is just a spontaneus improvisation. But you're right. I should come back on this music and make it live. Here is a nice coming day.

So this recording is with a LINE-OUT method, rather than using say a USB microphone? Would appreciate the info!

[@kkj1961]

Would like to know the same. Wondering how good the speakers are.

[@solenelle]

This must be line-out. Most people like the speakers but to me they sound eq heavy and metallic. Certainly not anywhere around this level.

[@lperson8970]

David, what about the Yamaha 515? Beter than the 88 key 515?

[@grandav94]

Hello J, I can't answer you because I don't have played on P515. However I know the 515 is a good KB too.

[@jazzsecrets]

Quel sensibilité ! Mais qu'en est il de la durabilité de ces instruments, ils ne son pas donnés, j'hésite entre ce modèle et le MP7se qui a plus de sons :)

[@jazzsecrets]

@@lespetitszoiseaux3774 Merci pour cette reponse detaillée, heureusement que j'ai pas acheté alors. J'ai préféré opté pour le Roland FP90x car plus robuste et clavier bien dosé. Evidemment ce n'est pas la meme qualité de son, rien a voir, mais au moins c' est fiable, enfin on verra bien.

[@ytpaletot1]

@@lespetitszoiseaux3774 Alors là, ça me concerne aussi !! Et je vais vous expliquer mon expérience. Voilà j'ai acheté un Kawaï il y a environ 6 ans ; au bout d'un mois ou deux, problème avec la touche de Fa , au milieu du clavier. Elle jouait tellement fort que c'était surprenant et impossible à accepter (et le son revenait mal sur cette touche) !!. Et je ne jouais pas énormément à l'époque... Le magasin l'a donc récupéré pour refaire les contacts. Ils me le ramènent ; c'était ok pendant quelques mois , et puis le problème s'est remanifesté.. Là, j'étais bien énervé, et je me suis dit que je m'étais fait avoir. !! Et ils m'ont refait les contact une nouvelle fois, gratuitement (c'était il y a deux ans environ) ..Et un jour, j'ai réalisé que la surface de mes oreillettes de casque se disloquait en tous petit morceau ; d'ailleurs, il n'y avait même plus de revêtement au bout d'un moment sur ces oreillettes de casque (un sennheiser) ; Et en plus, j'ai une transpiration très acide qui attaque le matières plastiques au bout d'un moment(même le fil du casque se disloque !!idem dans ma voiture ou je posais le bras). Ducoup, j'ai arrêté de me servir de ce casque - remplacé par un écouteur simple puis par un autre casque moins fragile -, et le problème ne s'est jamais reproduit ; pourtant je joue tous les jours au moins 2 heures... De plus j'ai déménagé il y a un an , et le clavier Kawai ES8 est arrivé nickel à destination (900 km)!! Il fonctionne très bien, maintenant.. (note : la touche de Fa se trouve au milieu du clavier, juste en dessous de là ou se trouve le casque , sur la tête)

Thanks for sharing the helpful video, David. I live in the U.S., and I'm not familiar with the term "numeric piano." What does that refer to?

[@thorn324]

"Numeric" = "Digital"

Hi, may i ask what stand are you using here?

[@grandav94]

Hello Jowan, It's a "RTX" stand

[@lalnunsangaasanga5801]

The sound like Bosendorfer Imp.

[@paulmacbride]

Most UK stores have this in stock now. I've seen it as low as £1379 and the ES520 as low as £999

[@walli33]

after hours of research this is what I know about the kawai es920 if these piano sounds are really pretty, on the other hand it seems that the shell which covers the es920 is not solid unlike for example the Yamaha 515 or 525 the last one, I am dreaming d a product where we would find the piano ex sk but also yamaha cfx etc.. but let's not go back, conclusion if I take charge of the touch, the sounds, the solidity, the guarantee etc.. I would be more inclined to invest in a kawai c301 5 year warranty which allows me to find these sounds but if I do the scene I would be more inclined to take a Yamaha 515, however I really like the SK ex from Kawai but I make the fairest choice, walli ps: what annoys me the most in the kawai Es920 is that its price is still too expensive compared to the product which even if it has great piano sounds nothing to say and a really good RH3 key, on the other hand its shell for the price, also Kawai must lower the price, and it will do so because new products are coming out in other brands Yamaha 525 for barely 400 euros more so be patient in my eyes it should be 950 euros 980 eu max today, best wishes 2024

[@EmadSaedi]

Beautiful performance! How would you recommend it? I'm looking forward to buy it.

[@IMAGINOT]

Thank you, it’s just an improvisation performance. Nothin else. My firts moments with this new keyboard. I would recommend it for many reasons : thé best pianistic feeling i’ve ever heard. Same touch than thé clavia nord grand. Every sound is great, the best piano acoustic sound for me. A 256 voices polyphonie wich allows great and full harmonies. A huge dynamic range. Thé realistic sensation because of internal speakers. No distorsion. Serious construction and lightness. I havé tried thé Korg SV2S for example, kawai sounds really really better for acoustic pianos.
