Where it sits
Its price class holds 44 digital pianos between €1,040 and €3,750 (EU street prices) – the Kawai CA-401 sits in the upper third there. The Kawai CN-301 from the same brand sits around €350 below it – but without wooden keys. At a comparable price the comparison also lists Roland FP-90X and Yamaha CLP-835.
Strengths & limits
In its favour
- 88 weighted keys with hammer action – the fingers learn the right force from day one
- Wooden keys instead of plastic – closer to an acoustic piano
- Three pedals (damper, sostenuto, soft) are included
- Bluetooth for apps and a wireless connection
Against it
- A piece of furniture with a fixed place – needs assembly, and moving it takes two people
