A Best-Seller in the ES Series, Designed for Performance
Heir to Kawai's "ES" lineage, the ES920 combines the portability of a stage piano with the musicality of a quality upright piano. Positioned as the flagship portable model in the range, it offers refined finishing, modern controls, and perfect versatility for practice, recording, and performance.Keyboard Design
The RHIII 88-key keyboard features graded hammer action mechanics, triple sensors, with escapement simulation to replicate the "let-off" feel of grand pianos. The Ivory Touch surfaces absorb moisture for lasting comfort. The velocity sensitivity is fully adjustable (Light 1-4, Normal, Heavy 1-4, Off, User) to tailor responsiveness to your touch.Sound Quality
Harmonic Imaging XL precisely samples the Shigeru Kawai SK-EX, SK-5, and Kawai EX grand pianos to deliver natural pianissimo to fortissimo dynamics. You have access to 38 voices (acoustic pianos, electric pianos, organs, strings, etc.), 256-note polyphony, and the Virtual Technician to adjust resonances, mechanical noises, and tonal character. The 40 W amplification system (speakers developed with Onkyo) provides a wide and detailed sound image.Built-in Effects
