I expect to keep this one for a long time. If you're an AP centric player (as I am), this is the one for you for many years. And then an army of pads and samples to pair with them as well. All those lovely downloadable keyboard samples. You want better? Buy a real grand piano.Īfter the action, the strength of the instrument comes through in spades. I can do my full AP artistic thing, no regrets.

Relying on our rich experience in building fine acoustic pianos, Kawai builds digital pianos that offer the finest offer the finest touch and tone available. The action is good enough (compared to my Nord Piano 2 and of course my Bosie 200) that I have no complaints. Kawai’s exceptional line of digital pianos is the result of a never-ending effort to create the world’s most authentic and innovative digital pianos. I don't know what they did, but it works for me. Ok, Nord had brought game and this one is totally in the league. I've played those, as well as Rolands and Korgs. There are those that love the CP4 and MP11SE. Truth be told, I've been a big Nord fan for many years. Acoustic trios, electric bands, jazz, etc. Always looking for something that approximates a real grand when I'm playing live through decent amplification. Most the of the other choices out there are packed with bells and whistles 'workstation' type features (they have their place), which for me get in the way and just and complication, extra menus, etc. The soft mat piano rewards every kick from.

If you need a performance based keyboard that specializes around piano and classic electric keys, you'll not find a better keyboard, (unless you move up to the Nord Grand. Your mini-Mozart can kick up loads of musical learning fun with the Fisher-Price Smart Stages Kick & Play Piano. Although, that's hard because they are all so good. I'll probably take some time to search on Nord's site for addition sounds I can swap out for some stock samples I'd be less likely to use.

The sounds it ships with are gorgeous and SO playable. So going in I had pretty high expectations of this Piano 4.

I've always been impressed with how well thought out the features are, intuitive, easy to get what you need quickly, very solid build and, the most important, BEAUTIFUL sounds. I've never owned a Nord keyboard, but played on several.
