ES60 Portable Digital Piano | Product Summary
The ES60 is the latest addition to Kawai's ES range of highly regarded portable digital pianos, offering exceptional value for aspiring pianists to begin their musical journey.Scheduled for release in late 2024, this brand new model features Kawai's trademark keyboard action and sound technologies, closely replicating the touch and tone of an acoustic grand piano in an ultra-portable package. The newly developed Responsive Hammer Lite (RHL) keyboard action offers fully graded keys to help develop hand strength and technique. It also incorporates the authentic hammer-sensing and key cushioning technologies from the latest CN201 and CN301 models, ensuring superb playability, control, and low mechanical noise to avoid disturbing others.
The ES60 features the rich, expressive sound of the Shigeru Kawai SK-EX concert grand piano, reproduced using Harmonic Imaging sound technology. This ensures smooth transitions in tonal character from pianissimo to fortissimo, allowing aspiring pianists to learn and master expressive dynamic control. In addition to the core acoustic piano sounds, the ES60 also showcases a selection of electric pianos, organs, strings and other instruments, inspiring players to perform or accompany a variety of musical genres, at home or on stage. Its 20 W stereo speaker system, equipped with the same drivers as the acclaimed ES120, delivers impressive volume with both richness and clarity, directing sound upward and towards the player for an enhanced listening experience.
Weighing just 11 kg, the ultra-portable ES60 is easy to carry around the house, or from classroom to recital hall. The instrument features standard 1/4" stereo Line Out connectors for recording or additional amplification, and a full-size headphone connector conveniently located on the front of the instrument. A USB-MIDI port allows connection to computers and smart devices, supporting a range of notated score and learning apps such as Skoove, Tomplay, and Kawai's PiaBookPlayer. The ES60 is operated via two panel buttons, with handy function guides printed behind the keyboard, and can also be controlled using the PianoRemote app for iOS and Android devices.
The ES60 marks a significant new direction for Kawai, expanding into the more affordable "entry-level" market with the goal of enhancing brand awareness. By offering an instrument at this highly competitive price, Kawai aims to strengthen its foothold within rapidly growing e- commerce retail channels, while planting the seeds for future growth. This strategic move is designed to introduce beginners to the Kawai brand, with the hope that they will become lifelong fans and continue their musical journey with Kawai instruments.

Korg Pre-Owned Korg PA4X76 Keyboard
Excelent!
Yamaha PSRSX720 Keyboard
Best customer service, no question too silly, took time to explain and was an enjoyable experience. We travelled a long way after a recommendation and weren’t disappointed.
Yamaha PSRSX920 Keyboard
Excellent service. arrived on time removed my part exchange piano and set up new keyboard ready for use.
Yamaha PSRSX920 Keyboard
Delivered Sx 920 and collected Px. Fair deal and excellent service. I didnt have a box for my px but they were not bothered by that. Keyboard set up on delivery and tested. I didnt need more than that because I was familiar with the way it works. There are differences between the G1 and Sx920 but the basics are the same.
Roland FP30XP-B Piano
The service couldn’t have been better. I told Steve my budget, he gave me his opinion, I tried several pianos within my budget and way above it and was able to make my decision easily. There was only useful help and advice at hand - no pushiness! Thank you.
Korg PA5X61 Keyboard
Excellent service from Steve who showed me what the keyboard would do. The shop is much easier to get to and has a large carpark.
Yamaha Refurbished P525B Piano
Couldn't have been more helpful particularly as I was buying this piano without trying it or seeing it. I was able to part exchange my old keyboard and this too was hassle free - it was collected at the same time as the new piano was delivered. Great service from a great company with very helpful staff.
Yamaha Pre-Owned DGX670-B Piano
The guys at Keysound really have great knowledge. It's obvious they enjoy their work which means I enjoyed being in the store.
Enthusiastic people really do up the level of service.
Roland HP704-DR Piano
The service at Keysound is second to none, and the expertise of Steve, the manager, is outstanding! Although I am a retired piano teacher, I learnt so much about digital pianos in the couple of hours I spent at Keysound. The technology has advanced so far since I bought my last Roland, 20 years ago, that I would have been lost without Steve’s guidance. Every aspect of my purchase at Keysound, including delivery and installation, was made so easy by Steve and his staff. I cannot fault this wonderful company!
Yamaha Pre-Owned PSRSX700 Keyboard

Yamaha PSRE473 Keyboard
The service was excellent - see my previous statement.
The staff are friendly, and listen to you to establish your needs and wants, budget and prefernces.
Yamaha Pre-Owned PSRSX900 Keyboard
Exelent workstation, sounds are exelent, great value for money.
I am still exploring the many features of this keyboard (probably take me a while), only downside for me was the owners manual half english half french but no problem full english owners manual on Yamaha's web site along with many other downloads and video guides on many of the features.
sales person at keysound very helpfull, I would recomend this keboard/workstation for anyone wanting to play/record or sequence their own music, guitar/mic inputs for live sounds makes it easy to create songs with vocal backing for singer all on the keyboard/workstation if you want to without computer sequencers.
Casio Pre-Owned CDP120 Piano
Wonderful service at Keysound, friendly, very helpful, knowledgeable and always a smile to welcome you. Nothing is to much trouble.
Yamaha PSRSX920 Keyboard
Good deal and great service from Steve and his team at Keysound
Yamaha CLP825-R Piano
Keysound are an amazing, predominantly family business based in Hinckley. they have a wide range of upright and digital pianos and keyboards from many different brands
The staff are so friendly and helpful yet there is no pressure when you visit and I had plenty of time to look around and ask questions. Steve was incredibly knowledgeable and talked me through all the various features of the digital piano I wanted to buy. Delivery was prompt and the delivery men were pleasant, helpful and left no mess. I wasn't charged any extra for setting up the piano ( another store had quoted e £250 for this!)
The after service is fabulous too. I went back into store once the piano had been delivered and Ria went through any questions and showed me how to use the smart pianist app, also loading more songs onto this to help me with practicing
I was encouraged to contact them if I have any more issues or need to discuss anything
I would highly recommend Keysound if you're looking to buy any piano or keyboard, for the wide range of choice, the expertise of the staff and the lovely welcoming environment
