Exceeded expectations

May not be the most relevant outlook since it's my first DP and I'm just a dabbler for now in the piano playground, but still: I picked this based on countless online reviews and opinions, the cornerstones being sound and key action (key noise also included here). These aspects are great in the Kawai (after purchase I also had the chance to briefly try Roland and Casio dp's at a local store and concluded that the Kawai stands strong against these). Key noise is somewhat noticeable even at medium volume but I gather this is common to all DP's and should not deter if you predominantly practice with headphones or at higher speaker volume (NB: headphone quality is crucial, I achieved the best sound with Shure 215, seconded by ath m50x, being somewhat miffed by the rather tinny sound of senn momentum's 3). Lastly, quick revert to key action: noticeably more responsive compared to Roland's slightly sluggish performance, which is significantly helpful for a beginner and also future proof for advanced techniques (highly recommend you take a look at pianoforever yt review to see how the main 3 contenders - kawai, yamaha, roland - in this dp category stand against each other).

Great Piano

I'm beginner looking for first piano (used to practice on MIDI keyboard). I really like this piano, the key action is brilliant I find it perfectly balanced not to light, not too heavy, sounds, build, design are great. The only criticism I have is that I wish the speakers were a bit more powerful with stronger bass (to be fair this only shows when you use it as Bluetooth speaker when you want to play along with some external song). However at this price none of the other pianos have better speakers and you can always plug it to some other speakers. If I had to buy a piano again, I would still go for this model. Absolutely recommended.
