Responsive Hammer Compact (RHC) weighted-key keyboard action

The new Responsive Hammer Compact (RHC) action has been developed to reproduce the distinctive touch of an acoustic grand piano. The weight of the keyboard is appropriately graded to mirror the heavier bass and lighter treble hammers of acoustic pianos, with a smooth matte texture applied to each black and white key for enhanced playability. As with all Kawai digital piano keyboard actions, Responsive Hammer Compact utilises hammer velocity sensors, and features a springless mechanism that delivers a smooth and natural piano playing experience.

Despite its lightweight, compact design, the RHC action allows experienced pianists to perform with confidence, playing fortissimo with power and certainty, while delicately controlling the softest, most gentle pianissimo passages.

Harmonic Imaging™ (HI) sound technology, 88-key piano sampling

The ES110 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, affording pianists an extraordinary level of expressiveness ranging from the softest pianissimo to the strongest, boldest fortissimo

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