Kawai developed their Advanced Hammer Action IV-F (AHA IV-F) used in the ES100 to capture the distinctive feel of an acoustic grand piano. With an innovative springless design that provides consistent upward/downward motion, this action gives you a natural, smooth, piano playing experience. Just as acoustic piano hammers are heavier in the bass and get lighter as you move up towards the treble end of the keyboard, the AHA IV-F action uses different hammer weights that are graded for each playing range. This fastidious attention to detail gives you maximum stability when playing fortissimo passages, while giving you the delicate pianissimo control you need.

Sit down at the Kawai ES100 and play. The stunning piano sound you hear is none other than the meticulously sampled sound of a hand-crafted Kawai concert grand piano, with all 88 keys painstakingly recorded and faithfully reproduced using Kawai's Harmonic Imaging technology. This proprietary process accurately re-creates the immense dynamic range of the grand piano, giving you a truly impressive measure of expressiveness, from ppp to fff. If this were the only sound onboard the ES100, it would be a fabulous value, but there's a total of 19 amazing sounds, including orchestral strings, electric pianos, organs, vibes, harpsichord, choir, and more.

Kawai's ES100 digital piano includes a 3-song recorder, letting you record your performances to internal memory and play them back at the touch of a button. What's more, there's a cool lesson feature that helps aspiring pianists to learn the piano using an onboard collection of Burgmueller etudes, as well as songs from popular Alfred course books. You can practice left and right hand parts for each piece separately, and adjust the tempo to master the more difficult passages. Dual and Split modes (and dual headphone jacks) let you collaborate with a teacher or duet partner, while 192-note polyphony is more than enough to ensure that all your notes are heard.
