Kawai DG30 Digital Piano, Polished Ebony

Full Description

Natural acoustic feel

Play with the feel you know and love. The esteemed Responsive Hammer III keyboard has the realistic movement of an acoustic grand with a rigid, springless design. This will give you the smoothest piano playing experience. You'll recognise the heavier bass hammers and lighter treble ones too, playing just like an acoustic with grade-weighted hammers. Each of these weighted keys are perfectly balanced thanks to embedded counterweights. When playing pianissimo or fortissimo, these optimise both the feel and sound.

The finest details are authentic on this piano. Even down to the slight 'notch' sensation when you play softly on a grand piano, the Kawai DG30 is accurate. The let-off simulation recreates this feeling, which many experienced pianists use to aid their control. You'll also get a natural feel when you play the same note repeatedly, with triple sensors in the keys letting this note be gradually layered over the previous tone as it continues to sound.

It will feel real under your fingertips too. The highly regarded Ivory Touch key surfaces absorb fingertip oils and moisture to give you better control. Remove the worry of your fingers slipping whilst playing fast passages. With a natural, matte finish, you'll have a smooth playing surface which also looks gorgeous.

Innovative sound technology

Create true grand quality sound. Each note of the DG30 is perfect with full 88-key sampling using Kawai's exclusive Harmonic Imaging™. This incredible sound technology introduces the next level of digital piano tonal quality. The tones have been individually recorded, analysed, and reproduced, creating a vastly superior effect to other digital pianos which stretch one tone over multiple keys. Here, you'll progress gradually and naturally across the tonal spectrum.

Actually, you get even more recordings than this. Each note is recorded whilst played at different volumes so you can capture the different tonal characters of a note when played with different levels of force. Project this detailed sound too, with premium speaker drivers. Their distortion characteristics and flat frequency response ensures the truest reproduction of the refined grand pianos that have been sampled. Final touch-ups of your sound are taken care of with Kawai's excellent Virtual Technician function. If you have any particular preferences, this allows you to tailor elements of your piano's character to your style.

Three world-class pianos

Experience two exquisite piano tones in one instrument. Playing any of the Shigeru Kawai SK-EX, Shigero SK-5 Studio, or the Kawai EX concert grand is an absolute luxury and here you get to enjoy all three in your own home. Having two of the Shigero range gives you so many style options with their contrasting properties, from a range known as the 'premier pianos of Japan'. Shigero instruments have played in the most prestigious venues in the world. Then, with the Kawai EX you get another acclaimed concert grand that's been played at events like the Chopin international piano competition.

Endless digital possibilities

Connectivity is the way forward. Integrated Bluetooth in your DG30 digital opens up a world of possibilities you never would have imagined your piano could achieve. A wide variety of music-based apps will be available to aid your learning or whatever you require. Learning is made easier generally with this piano, thanks to the built-in lesson function. With a wide classical repertoire and finger exercises, scales, and warm-up drills you'll be advancing in no time. Then, there's the added bonus that you can use the premium amplifier and speaker systems in your piano to play your music from your supported smart device wirelessly. Get an incredible speaker system as well as a beloved instrument.
