Touch

The CA49 utilizes graded Grand Feel Compact wooden-key keyboard action. The GF Compact action has been designed to reproduce the authentic touch-weight characteristics of Kawai's industry-leading Grand Feel keyboard actions in a smaller size. The enhanced Light Touch Curve setting is designed to make playing a better experience for young children.

Tone

The expressive sound of the Shigeru Kawai SK-EX and Kawai EX concert grand pianos is at the heart of the CA series of digital pianos. The CA49 features an improved SK sound over previous models. Both pianos are faithfully reproduced with full 88-key sampling using advanced Harmonic Imaging sound technology to establish the digital piano tonal quality. A new Tone Control setting offers 8 presets to tailor the sounds to your liking.

Additional Sounds

Supplementing the acoustic piano voices, the CA49 also features a modest selection of additional sounds, ranging from electric pianos, drawbar or church organs, to strings, human choirs, and synth pads, inviting musicians to add greater variety to their performances.

Bluetooth

In addition to standard USB and MIDI jacks for connecting to computers or other instruments, the CA49 digital piano also features integrated Bluetooth MIDI technology that allows you to communicate with supported smart devices wirelessly. Once paired with a phone, tablet, or laptop, the CA49 digital piano allows you to enjoy a wide variety of music-related apps that can enhance your learning and playing experience.

Concert Magic

Concert Magic is a feature that allows everyone, even non-players, to experience the thrill of playing real music. It is an intelligent, interactive system that makes playing songs incredibly simple and fun. Just tap any key and Concert Magic will take care of playing the correct notes. You can control the song's rhythm and expression.

Lessons and Exercises

The CA49's convenient lesson function allows aspiring pianists to learn piano with classical Czerny, Burgmüller, and Beyer etudes, or collections of songs from the popular Alfred's Basic Piano and Chopin Walzer course books.

Virtual Technician

The skill of an experienced piano technician is essential to bring out the best of a fine acoustic piano. In addition to tuning, the technician also performs numerous regulation and voicing adjustments. The CA49's Virtual Technician Smart Mode simulates these refinements digitally, with ten updated preset configurations that intelligently adjust various characteristics of the grand piano to match different musical styles.

Grand Feel Pedal System

The CA48 features three pedals: soft, sostenuto, and damper (with half-damper capability). The Grand Feel Pedal System accurately replicates the position and individual weighting of the damper, soft, and sostenuto pedals of a Shigeru Kawai SK-EX concert grand piano to further enhance the CA48's acoustic piano-like authenticity.

Superior Headphone Experience

The CA48's Spatial Headphone Sound (SHS) technology enhances the depth and realism of the instrument's sound when listening through headphones or earphones. You can select one of three different acoustic presets that adjust the spatial positioning of the sound, while also helping to reduce auditory fatigue when using earphones or headphones for extended periods of time.
