Kawai CA17 Cherrywood — Grand‑piano soul, digital heart
Introducing the Kawai CA17 in rich Cherrywood — a refined digital piano that brings Concert Artist-level quality into your home without overwhelming your space. Anchored by Kawai’s RM3 Grand II wooden-key action, all 88 keys are crafted from real wood and pivot with the same “seesaw” motion you’d feel on a grand piano. The graded hammer weights, counterweights, and let-off simulation add authenticity and nuance to your touch.
The keytops feature Ivory Touch surfaces — softly textured to absorb moisture, giving you greater control and grip while playing. Kawai Piano+1 A triple-sensor key detection system ensures excellent responsiveness, especially during fast repetitions or delicate passages.
On the sonic side, the CA17 uses Harmonic Imaging XL sampling to faithfully reproduce every key of Kawai’s concert grand pianos — the SK‑EX and EX — across their full dynamic range. Kawai Piano+1 This gives you both power and subtlety, from whisper-soft pianissimos to bold fortissimos.
The CA17 also boasts a sophisticated digital effects engine, including damper and string resonance, plus six reverb settings (Room, Lounge, Small Hall, Concert Hall, Live Hall, Cathedral), letting you place yourself in any acoustic environment. Kawai You can also choose from a variety of additional voices — electric pianos, organs, strings, and ambient pads — for creative layering.
Learning and performance are supported by a built-in lesson function (with etudes from Czerny, Beyer, Burgmüller, plus Alfred’s method), a 3-song internal recorder (about 10,000‑note capacity), and performance modes like Dual (layer) and Four‑Hands.
Pedal realism comes courtesy of Kawai’s Grand Feel Pedal System, reproducing the weighted feel of damper (with half-pedal), soft, and sostenuto pedals just like a grand piano.
For connectivity, you get MIDI In/Out, USB to Host, and dual headphone jacks — ideal for practice, recording, or using educational apps. Kawai Piano When using headphones, the Spatial Headphone Sound (SHS) enhances depth and realism, reducing listener fatigue.
Sound projects through a 4‑speaker system: two 13 cm full-range drivers plus two 5 cm tweeters, delivering a balanced, immersive tone. Kawai The cabinet is elegantly designed, with a broad, adjustable music rest and a high-quality finish — and this Cherrywood version in particular brings warmth and classic style to any space
