Touch
CA49 utilizes Kawai's Grand Feel Compact keyboard action, which draws upon 90 years of acoustic piano craftsmanship to provide an exceptionally realistic playing experience. All 88 black and white keys are crafted entirely from long pieces of wood, with finely textured Ivory Touch key surfaces applied to assist playing control.

As with an acoustic grand piano action, the keys rest on a metal balance pin and move with a smooth seesaw-like motion, while the extended pivot length ensures a consistent, evenly-balanced touch weight – even when playing towards the back of the key. The Grand Feel Compact action also incorporates grade-weighted hammers, bass region counterweights and let-off simulation for added authenticity, while its accurate triple-sensor key detection system allows rapidly repeated notes such as trills to be performed smoothly without unnatural breaks in sound.

Tone
CA49 captures the magnificent tone of Kawai's flagship Shigeru Kawai SK-EX full concert grand piano. Widely regarded as the 'premier pianos of Japan,' Shigeru Kawai instruments grace the stages of concert halls and musical institutions throughout the world and are prized for their exceptional tonal clarity. In addition, CA49 also features the distinctive sound of Kawai's highly-acclaimed EX concert grand piano, which has frequently been selected by professional pianists in such prestigious events as the Chopin, Tchaikovsky and Rubinstein international piano competitions, among others.

Both instruments have been carefully recorded, meticulously analyzed and faithfully reproduced with full 88-key sampling using Kawai's Harmonic Imaging sound technology. This unique process accurately recreates the broad dynamic range of the original grand pianos, affording pianists an extraordinary level of expressiveness ranging from the softest pianissimo to the strongest, boldest fortissimo.

Bluetooth
In addition to standard MIDI jacks for connecting to other instruments, CA49 also boasts integrated Bluetooth MIDI technology that allows the instrument to communicate with supported smart devices wirelessly. Once connected to a phone, tablet or laptop, CA49 owners can enjoy a wide variety of exciting music-related apps that enhance their learning and playing experience without additional cables.

Lessons and exercises
CA49 features a three-song recorder, allowing performances to be recorded to internal memory and played back at the touch of a button. In addition, the convenient lesson feature allows aspiring pianists to learn the piano using a built-in collection of etudes from Czerny and Burgmüller or songs from the popular Alfred course books. The left and right hand parts for each piece can be practiced separately and the tempo can be adjusted to help perfect more difficult passages.

Smart Mode Virtual Technician
An experienced piano technician is essential to fully realize the potential of a fine acoustic piano. In addition to meticulously tuning each note, the technician also performs numerous regulation and voicing adjustments that allow the instrument to truly sing. CA49's Smart Mode Virtual Technician simulates these refinements digitally with ten preset configurations that adjust various characteristics of the grand piano sound to match different musical styles.

Grand Feel Pedal System
When the damper pedal of an acoustic piano is pressed and released, it is often possible to hear the sound of the damper head touching and releasing the strings. CA49 reproduces this sound with its Damper Noise setting, allowing the volume of this sound to be adjusted. The speed at which the damper pedal is pressed will also influence the prominence of the damper noise, with fast pedaling creating a very pronounced sound.

Additional sounds
Complementing its beautiful acoustic piano voices, CA49 also features a modest selection of additional sounds ranging from electric pianos and drawbar or church organs to strings, human choirs and synth pads, inviting musicians to add greater variety to their performances.

Concert Magic
This exclusive feature lets anyone enjoy the thrill of playing the piano, even if you've never played before. Concert Magic is an intelligent, interactive system that makes playing songs incredibly simple and fun: all you need to do is tap any key and Concert Magic will take care of playing the correct notes. You get to control the song's rhythm and expression, which are the other two elements of playing music.

Superior headphone experience
CA49's Spatial Headphone Sound (SHS) technology enhances the depth and realism of the instrument's sound when listening through headphones or earphones. The player can select one of three different acoustic presets that adjust the spatial positioning of the sound, while also helping to reduce auditory fatigue when using earphones or headphones for extended periods of time.

Adjustable music rest
As with a grand piano, the viewing angle of CA49's music rest can be adjusted to suit the performer's playing position or laid flat to provide a level surface for notating scores.

Freight Delivery Service

In order to properly protect larger and heavier products (instances where the package is too large for standard UPS or FedEx ground service), we ship those products with one of our Freight Delivery carriers of choice.

  • You'll be provided with tracking information within 24 hours of your order leaving our facility.
  • The carrier’s website will allow you to track the order, schedule a delivery date, and schedule a delivery window.
  • Most deliveries take place on weekdays (Monday through Friday) within standard business hours and will require a signature.
  • Please allow 7-10 business days for these shipments to be delivered. In some cases, additional transit time is necessary. It's worth the wait!

Our free shipping promotion saves you an average of more than $250 in shipping costs.

Freight Delivery includes delivery to the ground-level front or back door, or to the garage.

What about assembly?

While these services do not include assembly, our knowledgeable staff of Sales Advisors can talk you through the easy and quick process. With some simple instructions and the occasional screwdriver, you're all set to go. For digital pianos, you are generally only putting together the stand itself. With the help of a friend, you then place the piano portion on top of the stand and secure it with the provided screws. Drum assembly is also straightforward and often allows for a setup that works for you. Let our Sales Advisors put your mind at ease and contact us at [email protected] or 800-783-3368!

Can I ship to Alaska or Hawaii?

We can absolutely make that happen for you. Due to the added costs of shipping to these destinations, these orders do not qualify for the free shipping promotions we frequently run. But Kraft Music will cover the cost of shipping to the nearest coast! All you would pay is the remainder. Contact a Sales Advisor for a quote at [email protected] or 800-783-3368. Please be sure to include your postal/zip code for the quickest and most accurate quotes.
