Kawai ES120 88-key Digital Piano with Speakers - Black

Excelente producto

This is my second Kawai digital keyboard. I purchased the ES110 in 2022, but there were a couple of issues with it. I had actually wanted the ES120 at the time but they were not yet available. So I used the ES110 for a year before deciding to acquire its successor, the ES120. It was worth the wait! They keyboard action is noticeably superior, faster and smoother (in my opinion)! The keybed itself feels great. I like the finish on the keys, not too glossy and a subtle texture. The ES120 has many sound options/emulations, but I only use the first two piano emulations, taken from the two top end Kawai accoustic grands. I have not listened to the keyboard using headphones but I know the sound will be very very good. The sound from the onboard speakers is excellent. I'm only playing for myself at home so I never have the sound slider past 60%. I like the visual appearance of the keyboard... very clean. I don't want or need a thousand controls and an LCD screen. But this keyboard has dozens of features and most controls are directly available physically on the top of the keyboard. I have the ES120 mounted on the Liquid Stands Z style heavy duty model. The keyboard barely moves at all while I play. (The grippy pads on the stand help keep the keyboard in place.) I don't use the included music stand. I purchased a separate music stand that I position directly behind the keyboard (the GLEAM sheet music stand). The included sustaining pedal is a very inexpensive unit and I don't recommend it. I still use the excellent Kawai F-10H sustaining pedal that came with the ES110. You can get good quality sustain pedals for $20 to $30. Apart from the keyboard's wonderful action, the best and most important aspect of this keyboard is its truly wonderful SOUND! It is so musical. And - of course! - it never needs tuning! I confess I have not been able to listen to other brands of digital keyboard, but I can hardly imagine any sound superior to this $1000 model. I highly highly recommend, whether you are a beginner or an advanced player. I play classical almost entirely but I think it will be very suited to jazz and pop music. Kudos to Kawai!

I’m very happy which my purchase! I do play a lot of classic music and was on a long journey off finding the right e piano for me. The real magic happens when you put on the headphones, so you hear the technology of good audio. Definitely a great choice!

Nice looking keyboard for under $1000, but the sound quality coming out of the down focused speakers is not so great. The key action is OK and typical for short action keys on compact keyboards under $1000. This is a very good keyboard, but not outstanding. Comparable to Roland 60 and Yamaha 225 in the same price range. The Casio 360 beats them all on price, but all brands have their pros and cons, no clear winner.

Received item with 3 keys not working.Sent it back. Awaiting my refund.
