Advanced Hammer Action IV-F weighted-key keyboard action

The Advanced Hammer Action IV-F (AHA IV-F) keyboard action has been developed to represent the distinctive touch of an acoustic grand piano, with its remarkable springless design providing consistent upward and downward motion for a smooth, natural, piano playing experience.

Moreover, just as acoustic pianos utilise heavier bass hammers and lighter treble hammers, the AHA IV-F keyboard action also employs diff erent hammer weights, appropriately graded for each playing range. Such attention to detail allows greater stability during fortissimo passages, while preserving delicate pianissimo control, to satisfy the demands of even the most discerning pianist.

The CL26 digital piano captures the beautiful sound of Kawai’s highly acclaimed hand-built concert grand piano, with all 88 keys of this exceptional instrument meticulously recorded, analysed and faithfully reproduced using proprietary Harmonic Imaging™ technology. This unique process accurately recreates the broad dynamic range of the original grand piano, aff ording pianists an extraordinary level of expressiveness ranging from the softest pianissimo to the strongest, boldest fortissimo.

Additional reverberation eff ects that simulate the acoustic environment of a recital room, stage, or concert hall are also applied, resulting in a rich, vibrant piano tone that delivers breathtaking realism and authenticity.
