Kawai KDP110 Digital Piano | UK Buyers Guide & Review

[@ridak5]

This is genuinely one of the most enjoyable and useful reviews I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching. It answered every question I had about the instrument plus some, gave a proper, clear demonstration of the various sounds the instrument produces, and kept everything clear and concise. I almost want to watch it a second time haha. Thanks for helping sell me on this piano.

[@natashamcadam7335]

Really like how you play it in this review, so sweet and mellow.

[@hornet224]

Thank you for the very detailed product review. Your music selections were performed beautifully. That is my goal.

[@Dobermanator]

I can see a lot of students getting this. Personally, and it is personal feel subjectivity I find the action on these better than other brands. Couple that with features, sound, quality and the amazing price and for me it's very difficult to best this. The people at Kawai are doing a very good job at sustainability imo. The videos from Bonners are extremely well done too and of course people normally would not buy one of these on line without physically trying it so the recording method of this video is not so important.

[@Koza1151]

can you guys do a comparison of this one KDP-110 with YDP-163 and PX-870? PX-870 seems doesn't have Miscellaneous on their feature and what is Miscellaneous anyway? Also, PX-870 can play 256 polyphony which is more than the other 2 but what are the overall qualities of these 3?

[@ThePianoJourneyMusic]

Very Well Explained... You Sold me I'm definitely buying this instead of the RP102 or the YDP S35

[@popfof1490]

what a spendid tone, as for the weighted keys, it doesnt bother me so much since Tony declared it in almost every piece. thank you so much. (i am a potencial buyer in China.)

[@howardfowler2255]

Bonner's needs to demo the Korg c1 air - a good competitor with this very nice Kawai Dp. Well, how about it,old chap?

[@PietrekP]

Hello, thank you for a great review. I decided to buy a digital piano at this price point and have 3 choices to consider: this Kawai and Casio's AP-270 and AP-470. I've heard them in a dealer near me and in fact there are quite similar. I found that keyboard in Kawai is quite noisy (compared to the Yamaha YDP 163). Do you also have such impression? I tried also YDP 163, but in my opinion its sound is noticeably worse than on Kawai and Casio. On the other side, Casio has string resonance while Kawai not. PS. Can anyone tell me the name of the piece played for the main grand piano sound (from 3:00)? :)

[@bonnersmusic]

Thank you for the Comment! The KDP110 does have a slightly noisier action than the Casios, but it is certainly not as noisy as a real acoustic piano action which due to its mechanical nature is much noisier than many people realise. To be honest you will not really notice this difference once the piano is being played. I find the action on the Kawai excellent at replicating the feel of an acoustic piano. I believe you can adjust the string resonance on the Kawai using the Virtual Technician App once you connect to the piano via Bluetooth amongst many other settings that can also be altered using this Application. The sound in the Kawai and that Casio AP470 is fantastic for a piano in this price range. The feel is very much about personal preference. I would recommend coming to our showroom and spending some time with the models in order to find out which you prefer.

[@ChristianBlandford]

Could you guys do a video of all those Yamaha avant grands? I saw the n3x on your store and I’m really interested in seeing a run through! :)

[@Frankie-jq1fj]

Thank you for your review. Would you recommend it to an absolute beginner or is it better to get the ES110? Thanks :)

[@rccasgar]

Which digital piano is best in your opinion? Kawai KDP-110 or Yamaha Arius YDP-164?

[@SKsFinestHour]

Really undecided between Roland RP102, Casio PX870 and this Kawai - any help would be very much appreciated as i'm looking to order very shortly! thanks

[@anthonyduffy77]

Unbeatable sound, touch and features for the price.

[@MridulDhirajKhanna]

Which one would you suggest between KDP 110 and ydp 164??

[@argi0774]

KDP 120

[@hgoneci]

thanks for review. I wonder how did you record piano's sound to this video. by midi, microphone or else ?

[@PianoMelodyNotes]

Very nice, beautiful piano

[@adrow]

i bought this piano, and i think the action is quite heavy, i havent played much on an acoustic piano, maybe once. do you think the feel is close to an acoustic one? with the weight of the keys and such.

[@justematene3107]

Hello guys , is there anyone who can advise on quality of sounds and keys between Kawai KDP 110 and es 110, i have a mixed feelings on the best instrument to buy.Thank you

[@pennyantonakaki]

Hello. I'm an advanced piano player, and I already have an acoustic upright piano in the living room. I'm looking for a digital piano - around 1000 EUR - that I can place in my bedroom, so that i can study with headphones on, and also record myself etc. I'm trying to decide between Kawai KDP110 (CN-17) and Yamaha YDP-S54. I'm also thinking about Kawai CN-29 but its a bit expensive so it would be a bit of a stretch for me. I absolutely love the Kawai sound, but I'm torn between the RH - II Kawai action and the GH3 action on the yamaha, which is supposed to be more of a high-end key action. Is the Kawai CN17 action less realistic than the one on the Yamaha S54? I also kinda prefer the lighter touch the Kawai pianos seem to have, since my acoustic piano's touch is already heavy. I still want the feel and sound of an acoustic piano as much as possible. What do u think i should pick?

[@Newt211]

How does this compare against the lower 2 ca series? Is the sound the same but only the action different?

[@will3462]

Can anyone help me? I dont know whether to buy the Kawai 110 or the roland 501r. Any help is appreciated.

[@martinehuardguillemette6371]

Hello! I am a begginer and I'm looking for a good piano that will last and that I will not eventually outrun. I read many reviews from @BonnersMusic and I hesitate between the Kawai KDP110 and the Yamaha YDP S54. Which one is best overall?

[@mrdeen5532]

Similar pianos.

[@aureusroots1759]

Great reviews thanks. Is this the same model as CN17? I can't find the difference anywhere they seem to be identical?

[@VeoXNewsde]

no , the CN17 is better

[@aureusroots1759]

VeoX News thanks! Do you know better in what respect? İ cant find anything online so frustrating.

[@19danielb]

It is the same model. The name depends on where you live, and the only difference is the colour.

[@KeepingOnTheWatch]

I’ve read that the KDP110 features the Responsive Hammer Compact II action. Wondering how it feels to the touch.

[@bonnersmusic]

The KDP110 has a wonderfully authentic feel for a piano under £1000. It is responsive and has a lovely textured feel to the keys, making it easy to play without your fingers slipping. Come to one of our showrooms and give it a try, I am sure you will be impressed.

[@KeepingOnTheWatch]

Bonners Music Superstore Thank you for your response. I just might do that.

[@ThistleBeaksBirdCams]

Bonners Music Superstore Hello is it ivory synthetics keys? I can't seem to find out anywhere if it is textured keys or not thanks

[@argi0774]

Just saying, but is leaning with the elbow onto the keyboard a good thing to do?

[@raffaelesimeoni9336]

Please review the Casio ap-470, I really like it's style. How It is compared to the Kawai kdp110? Is the Kawai much better?

[@bonnersmusic]

The most obvious differences between the Casio AP470 and the Kawai KDP110 is the lid that opens on the AP470, allowing for a wider spread of sound from the new more powerful speaker system, as well as the addition of Bluetooth connectivity that is on the Kawai. It would be difficult to separate the two models in terms of specification outside of these two things. The rest is purely down to personal preference. I would recommend trying the models side by side to see which action you prefer and which tone is most suited to your taste. Both of these models offer amazing quality at a very affordable price.

[@iTechRevolutionTV]

Can you help me narrow down my search for one: the kdp 110 or the korg c1 air. Thanks in advance (i know there isnt a just 1 best but still). I can buy both of them at ease with my budget so the price at this range isnt a factor

[@bademoderndesigns5962]

Thanks for the great video. I am torn between Yamaha YDP S34 and this model. I know that each model has it's ups and downs , but can you please tell me which model you would go by means of feeling of the keys while playing? I trust your skills and experience very much and need your feedback on this specific issue if possible.

[@adriancressy8363]

The Yamaha is so close with the built-in speaker sound. A little less audio power than the Kawai and 10 instrument sounds, where the Kawai has 15

[@alanzomoolenaar846]

Are there additional sounds that can be accessed via iPad?

[@Jesus-bv1zk]

Im deciding between the yamaha ydp 164 and the kawai kdp 110. Im an android user, so i dont really know how to compare them, I've like a little bit more the action of the Kawai but not completely sold for that. So any help would be appreciated!!!

[@46lobo1]

well i m not quite sure if buy a kdp 110 or spend extra money for yamaha clavionva 625 its worth?

[@brendonwilliamson]

[@matthewvarney6214]

What is the piece played at 3:00 please? Sounds like a Chopin waltz or something!

Not a Chopin waltz. Don't know what it is, but I know all Chopin's waltzes and it's not it. :)

[@tinkermydinker2909]

anyone know the name of the piece at 3:00?

[@umeunkyung4237]

How does this compare to cn29 in terms of key action and sound?

[@phuonglinhnguyenngoc8934]

Cn29 is above kdp110, and is almost twice the price. It has a triple sensor while kdp has a dual, meaning you don’t have to release a note for as long before touching it again for it to make a sound. It really depends on the budget

[@emaz6211]

Is the Kawai cn 29 better?

[@alicaramba7680]

Of course, by sound, by keyboard.

[@NormanZealandMalana]

Does it have stereo line outs? If so, are they balanced? Thanks!

[@bonnersmusic]

Yes it does have stereo outputs but not balanced as far as I'm aware

[@NormanZealandMalana]

I have to say, I was prepared to be disappointed. Unbalanced should be ok for a pair of monitor speakers, anyway :D I really am looking for a slab type piano in this price range, either from Yamaha or Kawai, but there isn't one, but I might be able to cram this somewhere, haha. Also, last question. Are the outputs for left and right separate? or a single TRS? Thank you!

[@rdboon]

@@bonnersmusic I don't understand your response here. This piano has no stereo out, it has no AUX/Line out for sending the stereo sound out via audio. It only has midi, and this is well documented and mentioned in other reviews. Unfortunately if you want to record the audio you would need to use the headphone socket, which is poor for such purposes, or mic it.

[@georgeyoung9072]

Sadly, Kawai choose not to make the apps for this piano (and many others) available for Android. So unless you are an apple user, forget about buying a Kawai. Yamaha or Roland both support Android.

[@noemi8872]

If I have ipad but not iPhone is that okay?

Can someone compare KDP110 and YDP164?

[@philjones2483]

Bought this piano a few days ago excellent but in the video he says the keys are slightly textured, I can't say it's noticeable because it's not, so that was disappointing other than that it's a great piano.

[@philjones2483]

@@nateo3888 yes it can be connected to a pc and a midi device and Bluetooth capability I haven't tried any of these things yet but I'm sure they will work fine.

[@rdboon]

I've had this piano for a year. I don't understand how you can think the keys don't feel textured. They are most definitely textured with an ivory feel. It's quite noticeable in direct comparison to glossy plastic covered keys found other keybeds. It's a joy to play to be honest.

[@jasperherrick]

Does anyone know the song he plays @3:00

[@weilin9815]

Jasper Herrick Id like to know the answer too

[@iTechRevolutionTV]

peeps an honest question. I would like to know a top 2 from the following piano's. Iwant t obuy but want to get the best for my buck: Roland FP30, Roland 140r, kawai kdp 110, kawai es 110, casio px870, casio ap470, yamaha ydp 163 and the korg c1 air. Thanks in advance, you guys would be a live saver!

[@Jude-gk7cz]

You are trying to find out the exact same thing as me !! I had my heart set on the Roland F140r, but I just cant decide between the ones you've mentioned, what about the Orla CDP 202?

[@iTechRevolutionTV]

@@Jude-gk7cz It's my first time hearing abput cdp 202. So i don't know much about it to be honest

[@Hsinking]

The best answer would be try and feel them yourself, the decision is very personal.

[@placzus]

hello, I have read about some keys problems regarding this model/brand. Has anyone have that kind of issue with kdp110 ?

[@adriancressy8363]

Strange comment. Just bought a KDP110 and the F key (below middle C) has a slight bounce sound when hit. A very slight 'stutter' ...You got to listen carefully form it. There is another note heading towards middle C. Can't remember it.
