KAWAI CS11 DIGITAL PIANO

The CS11 Hybrid Digital Piano offers a handsome high-polished cabinet modeled after its acoustic cousin, the K200 Professional Upright. The combination of acoustic piano attributes (such as long wooden keys and an authentic wooden soundboard) and the advantages of digital piano technology makes the CS11 a popular choice among “techies” and “purists” alike. With its ability to merge the benefits of acoustic and digital pianos, it’s no surprise that our CS Series models were named “2016 Home Digital Keyboard Line of the Year” by MMR Magazine.

Description

KAWAI CS11

Some piano buyers wrestle between the traditional approach of acquiring an acoustic piano and the more economical choice of a digital piano. Touch, tone and furniture styling are among the top advantages of an acoustic piano, while a digital piano offers more sounds, connectivity, and silent playing through headphones. A tough decision, indeed. But why can’t the player have both?

The Kawai CS11 offers the best that acoustic and digital pianos have to offer – excellent piano touch, a real wooden soundboard for exceptional tone, a full-featured digital piano and a beautiful high-polished cabinet that will enhance any room. With 80 digital piano sounds and an intuitive control panel that lets you record your playing, connect with other devices, and play your favorite artists’ recordings from a USB device through the instrument’s amazing sound system, the CS11 is a versatile hybrid instrument that will bring joy and satisfaction to your home, school or house of worship for many years to come.

Experience it in our showroom at 5800 Richmond Avenue in Houston.

SOUNDBOARD SPEAKER SYSTEM

Soundboard Speaker System

The CS11 joins the Kawai CS10 and CA97 as the world’s only digital pianos that use a real wooden soundboard to create their sound. This unique approach creates a piano tone that is rich, warm and non-directional, offering a playing experience that is closer to that of an acoustic instrument. Learn More »

TONE

The CS11 offers a highly detailed acoustic portrait, with Harmonic Imaging XL technology ensuring smooth tonal transitions across the keyboard and throughout the entire dynamic range.

TOUCH

Touch

For Touch, the CS11 uses our latest Grand Feel II action with Let-off and Triple Sensor key detection. This action features real wooden keys with Ivory Touch key surfaces along with a mechanical design patterned after our grand piano actions. Learn More »

REAL UPRIGHT PIANO CABINET

Part of the magic of the CS11 comes from its stunning ebony polished cabinet… the same one used with Kawai’s K-200 Professional Upright Piano. A traditional leg and toe block design along with a classic fallboard evoke timeless tradition. The finish is made with durable polyester, the same material used in our acoustic piano finishes.
