Kawai CX102 Digital Piano with 88 Weighted Keys - Black

Kawai CX102 88-Key Digital Piano - Embossed Black and Embossed White

The Kawai CX102 Digital Piano is an 88-key home digital piano featuring Responsive Hammer Lite keyboard action, Harmonic Imaging sound technology, and authentic Shigeru Kawai SK-EX concert grand piano samples. Available in Embossed Black and Embossed White, it combines weighted piano keys, 192-note polyphony, three integrated pedals, and a 22W stereo speaker system for expressive playing and everyday practice.

Designed for beginning pianists, music students, families, and experienced musicians seeking a compact home instrument, the CX102 delivers the tactile response of a traditional piano with the convenience of digital technology. Its Responsive Hammer Lite keyboard uses graded hammer weighting to recreate the heavier touch of lower piano keys and lighter response of higher notes. Kawai's Harmonic Imaging sound engine reproduces the tonal characteristics of the Shigeru Kawai SK-EX concert grand piano, while 17 selectable instrument sounds provide additional creative possibilities. Built-in lesson songs, a metronome, and a three-song recorder help musicians develop technique, practice independently, and review their performances. Dual, Split, and Four Hands modes further expand the instrument's usefulness for lessons, duets, and musical exploration.

The CX102 supports Bluetooth MIDI and USB-MIDI connectivity for communication with compatible computers, tablets, and music applications. Kawai's PianoRemote app provides access to instrument settings, including Virtual Technician adjustments, while PiaBookPlayer supports digital sheet music viewing. Two headphone connections allow simultaneous private listening, enhanced by Spatial Headphone Sound processing. The compact cabinet features a sliding keyboard cover, folding music rest, and Grand Feel Pedal System with half-pedal support. Both color variants share identical performance specifications, allowing musicians to select the finish that best complements their home or teaching environment.
