Kawai KCP80

Exceptional touch, tone, features & value

For a long time, entry-level digital pianos have fallen into one of two categories: realistic or fun. Instruments that boast an acoustic piano feel and rich, resonant sound often lack additional entertainment features such as accompaniment styles, while those that do, tend to compromise on piano realism and quality.

The new KCP80 digital piano dispels this previously held notion, delivering a high-performance – yet affordable – instrument that is both realistic and fun. This impressive model features Kawai’s Advanced hammer Action IV-F grade-weighted keyboard action and highly regarded harmonic Imaging™ sound technology, with 88-key piano sampling and three pedals providing a highly authentic grand piano playing experience.

However, the KCP80 also features an excellent selection of additional instrument sounds and accompaniment styles to support a wide range of musical genres, helping to ensure that playing the piano is always engaging – regardless of age or ability.

From Beethoven to The Beatles, Mozart to Madonna, the new Kawai KCP80 is the ideal choice for aspiring musicians who require authentic touch and tone, yet also enjoy experimenting with different sounds and playing along with accompaniment styles – an entry-level digital piano that’s both realistic and fun.

Touch Advanced Hammer Action IV-F

The Advanced Hammer Action IV-F (AHA IV-F) keyboard action has been developed to represent the distinctive touch of an acoustic grand piano, with its remarkable springless design providing consistent upward and downward motion for a smooth, natural, piano playing experience. Moreover, just as acoustic pianos utilise heavier bass hammers and lighter treble hammers, the AHA IV-F keyboard action also employs different hammer weights, appropriately graded for each playing range. Such attention to detail allows greater stability during fortissimo passages, while preserving delicate pianissimo control, to satisfy the demands of even the most discerning pianist.

Sound Harmonic Imaging™ Technology

The KCP80 digital piano captures the beautiful sound of Kawai’s highly acclaimed hand-built concert grand piano, with all 88 keys of this exceptional instrument meticulously recorded, analysed and faithfully reproduced using proprietary Harmonic Imaging™ technology. Th is unique process accurately recreates the broad dynamic range of the original grand piano, affording pianists an extraordinary level of expressiveness ranging from the softest pianissimo to the strongest, boldest fortissimo. Additional reverberation effects that simulate the acoustic environment of a recital room, live stage, or concert hall are also applied, resulting in a rich, vibrant acoustic piano tone that delivers breathtaking realism and authenticity.

Additional Instrument Sounds

Supplementing the realistic acoustic piano voices, the KCP80 also offers an excellent selection of additional instrument sounds, including electric pianos, drawbar and church organs, strings, brass, and woodwind instruments, and a full range of GM2 compatible voices. Furthermore, the Dual playing mode also allows two different sounds to be layered together, then adjusted quickly and easily using the real-time balance slider to inspire even greater musical creativity.

Features Accompaniment Styles

The KCP80’styles feature provides professionally arranged backing accompaniments to support a range of musical genres. With intro, fill-in, and ending phrases, and a selection of rock, jazz, funk, Latin, and Ethnic styles, creative players can enjoy breathing new life into their existing repertoire. In addition, pressing the 1-2 Play button intelligently selects a suitable tempo and appropriate instrument sounds for the chosen style, preparing the instrument for immediate musical enjoyment.

Controls and Connectors

The KCP80’s wide control panel and clearly arranged button layout ensure that this powerful instrument is both easy to use and fun to play. Th e large LCD display provides clear information about the currently selected sound, style, and function, while the eight Registration memories allow favourite song configurations to be stored and recalled at the touch of a button. The KCP80 also includes standard MIDI jacks to exchange data with computers and other electronic instruments, dual headphone connectors for peaceful practise at home, and stereo Line-out jacks that ensure the piano can be enjoyed in larger settings such as churches and schools.
