The embossed black Kawai KDP75 Digital Piano with Matching Bench is an addition to the KDP series of digital pianos and the successor to the popular KDP70. This updated model features an improved Responsive Hammer Compact keyboard action for realistic grand-piano touch and feel, the superb sound of a Shigeru Kawai SK-EX grand piano, convenient USB-MIDI connectivity with support for the PianoRemote and PiaBookPlayer apps, and an 18W amplifier/speaker system.
With 88 grade-weighted keys, four acoustic piano sounds, triple-pedal system, Four Hands mode, transpose, metronome, built-in etudes and Alfred lesson songs, Spatial Headphone Sound (SHS) technology, and the ability to record and playback one s performance, the KDP75 is an ideal choice for beginners seeking a starter instrument, teachers, or intermediate players looking for a piano for silent practice with headphones.
Additional instrument sounds including electric pianos, organs, harpsichord, vibraphone, and strings, combined with Dual playing mode allows two different voices such as an acoustic piano and a string ensemble to be played together for a more complex sound that inspires even greater musical creativity.
The KDP75 is housed within a simple, attractive cabinet that incorporates gently curved side arms and wooden toe blocks for additional stability. It features a retractable key cover to protect the keyboard from dust and a broad music rest that can be folded flat when not being used. With a matching bench included, this elegant piano adds a nice touch to the decor of large and small living rooms, studies, and family rooms.
Shigeru Kawai Concert Grand Accurately Reproduced with 88-Key Sampling
- The KDP75 captures the clarity and dynamic range of the Shigeru Kawai SK-EX concert grand, with all 88 keys of this exceptional instrument meticulously recorded, analyzed, and faithfully reproduced using advanced Harmonic Imaging sound technology.
- Recording each key individually in this way preserves the rich harmonic character of the SK-EX concert grand piano and guarantees that the sound heard when playing any one of the KDP75 s weighted keys is a faithful representation of the original acoustic source.
- Harmonic Imaging ensures smooth tonal transitions across the keyboard and throughout the entire dynamic range.
- Realistic reverberation (6 types) further enhances the instrument s core sounds, applying additional reverberation effects that simulate the acoustic environment of a recital room, live stage, or concert hall, bringing performances to life.
Realistic Touch and Feel
Responsive Hammer Compact Keyboard Action
- The Responsive Hammer Compact (RHC) action recreates the distinctive touch of an acoustic grand piano. Based on the highly regarded RH keyboard action design, its spring-less mechanism and sturdy construction delivers consistent upward and downward motion, while improved cushioning material helps to reduce keyboard noise, resulting in a smooth, natural, and highly authentic piano playing experience.
Acoustic Piano Key Weighting
- The RHCII keyboard action employs different hammer weights appropriately graded for each playing range with heavier bass hammers and lighter treble hammers. This provides greater stability during fortissimo passages while preserving delicate pianissimo control, to satisfy the demands of even the most discerning pianist.
Kawai Triple-Pedal System
- The Kawai triple-pedal system replicates the position and individual weighting of the damper (with half-pedal support), soft, and sostenuto pedals of a Shigeru Kawai SK-EX Concert grand piano, with PianoRemote app parameters to adjust the half-pedal point and soft-pedal depth-further enhancing the KDP75 s acoustic piano-like authenticity.
18W Speaker System with Low Volume Balance Feature
- The KDP75 s 18W stereo speaker system provides enough power to fill a medium-sized room with beautiful Shigeru Kawai grand piano sounds.
- When playing through speakers at a reduced volume setting (so as not to disturb family members), the KDP75 s Low Volume Balance feature intelligently adjusts keyboard touch and piano tone characteristics, allowing pianissimo passages to be played smoothly and more naturally.
Superior Headphone Experience
- The KDP75 s Spatial Headphone Sound (SHS) technology enhances the depth and realism of the instrument s sound when listening through headphones or earphones. Players can select one of three different acoustic presets that adjust the spatial positioning of the sound, while also helping to reduce auditory fatigue when using earphones or headphones for extended periods of time.
- The piano is equipped with both 1/4 and a 3.5mm headphone jacks.
USB-MIDI Connectivity
- The KDP75 features a USB-MIDI port, allowing the digital piano to be connected to a computer or iOS/Android smart devices.
- Once connected to a tablet or smartphone, players can easily control the instrument or display notated scores for built-in lesson songs using the dedicated PianoRemote and PiaBookPlayer apps. Moreover, the instrument s functionality can also be expanded using a broad range of 3rd party education, performance, and scoring apps.
- The instrument s functionality can also be expanded using a broad range of third-party education, performance, and scoring apps.
Built-In Lesson Function
- The KDP75 s convenient lesson function allows pianists to study classical piano using a collection of Czerny, BurgmA¼ller, and Beyer etudes, or learn contemporary songs from the popular Alfred Basic Piano course books.
- The left- and right-hand parts of each etude or song can be practiced separately, with the built-in metronome and adjustable tempo controls, helping to improve timing and rhythm.
- Lesson songs include: BurgmA¼ller 25 (25 Etudes Faciles, Opus 100), Czerny 30 (Etudes de Mecanisme, Opus 849), Beyer 106 (Vorschule im Klavierspiel, Opus 101), Alfred s Basic Piano Library Lesson Book Level 1A, and Alfred s Basic Piano Library Lesson Book Level 1B.
Customize Your Sound with Built-In Virtual Technician
- The instrument s built-in Virtual Technician feature with 13 parameters allows various characteristics of the acoustic piano sounds to be shaped at the touch of a button.
- Parameters include: Touch Curve, Voicing, Damper Resonance, Hammer Delay, Topboard Simulation, Decay Time, Release Time, Minimum Touch, Stretch Tuning, Temperament, Temperament Key, Half-Pedal Point, and Soft Pedal Depth
