Where it sits
Its price class holds 34 digital pianos between €1,430 and €5,150 (EU street prices) – the Kawai CA-701 sits in the middle there. The Kawai CA-501 from the same brand sits around €500 below it. At a comparable price the comparison also lists Roland LX-5 and Casio GP-310 Grand Hybrid.
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
