| Kawai’s digital piano engineers – inspired by the company’s eight decades of experience in building the world’s finest acoustic pianos – strive to incorporate in our digital instruments the same subtle nuances of touch and expressiveness found in our acoustic pianos.
The Responsive Hammer (RH) Action utilizes an innovative system of “hammer grading” in which the weights of the hammers mirror the heavier bass hammers and lighter treble hammers of an acoustic piano. Finely textured ivory-like surfaces are applied to the keys to absorb moisture, enhance control and provide the tactile feel of acoustic piano keys.
The RM3 Grand Action offers an even more expressive playing experience through the use of extra-long wooden keys and a mechanical design that closely resembles the real motion of a grand piano action. Like an acoustic piano, additional counterweights are placed at the front of the bass keys to provide the natural balance of an acoustic piano action. Similarly, the new Let-off feature (found in upper-level CP models) re-creates the subtle “notch” sensation felt when playing gently on the keys of a grand piano.
