Where it sits
Its price class holds 8 acoustic upright pianos between €4,200 and €7,150 (EU street prices) – the Kawai K-15 sits in the middle there. The Kawai E-200 from the same brand sits around €150 below it. At a comparable price the comparison also lists Yamaha b2 and Yamaha b1.
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
- 110 cm tall – Kawai’s most compact entry, solid spruce soundboard
Against it
- Needs tuning once or twice a year – running costs a digital piano does not have
