The Kawai EX concert grand piano is widely regarded by professional pianists and piano technicians as the finest instrument of its class. Hand-built by Master Piano Artisans at the Shigeru Kawai Piano Research Laboratory in Ryuyo, Japan, each EX instrument undergoes a meticulous regulation and refinement process within a specially designed anechoic chamber.
The beautiful sound of the EX grand piano is at the heart of the new MPs, with all eighty-eight keys of this world-class instrument painstakingly recorded, analysed, and reproduced as high-fidelity digital waveforms.
The new MPs offer a highly detailed acoustic portrait, with smooth tonal transitions across the keyboard and throughout the dynamic range.
The MP10’s RM3 Grand keyboard action combines realistic materials, motion, and mechanism to recreate the exceptional touch of the world’s finest concert grand pianos.
All eighty-eight black and white keys are crafted entirely from long pieces of of wood, pivoting smoothly on a central balance pin, to replicate the familiar motion of an acoustic piano action.
Finely textured Ivory Touch surfaces absorb finger moisture and assist playing control, while let-off simulation recreates the subtle sensation felt when softly playing the keys of a grand piano.
