The CA501 in the "Concert Artist" Line
A true heir to the "Concert Artist" series, the CA501 brings the expertise of Shigeru Kawai grand pianos into the home. Its refined cabinet, immediate playability, and expert settings make it a versatile instrument, designed equally for demanding study, casual playing, or intimate stage performance.Keyboard Design
The Grand Feel Compact 88-key wooden action incorporates the grand piano's balanced lever with an optimized pivot length for consistent response. Triple sensors, let-off simulation, bass counterweights, and "Ivory Touch" coating ensure control, repetition, and comfort. The adjustable velocity curves (Light/Normal/Heavy/Off) allow you to tailor the touch to your playing style and repertoire.Sound Quality
88-note sampling (Progressive Harmonic Imaging) of Shigeru Kawai concert grands "SK-EX Competition Grand" and "Kawai EX", complemented by a studio SK-5 and an upright K60. The 256-note polyphony preserves the densest nuances, while the 100 W amplification and speakers with 360-degree diffusers deliver a rich and natural tone. The Spatial Headphone Sound (SHS) and headphone type settings optimize nighttime immersion.Built-in Effects
An onboard effects engine offers reverberations including Room, Lounge, Small Hall, Concert Hall, Live Hall, and Cathedral, a Tone Control to shape brightness, as well as Low Volume Balance to maintain spectral balance at low volume and SHS to widen the headphone soundstage.Educational Functions
Metronome with 7 time signatures, Dual/Split/4 Hands modes with dedicated volume and balance, a recorder (3 songs, approx. 10,000 notes), and 279 built-in lessons (Burgmüller, Czerny, Beyer, Alfred) plus 40 "Piano Music Songs". The Virtual Technician and PianoRemote app refine touch, tone, and resonances for striking study realism.Technical specifications
