THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING A KAWAI DIGITAL PIANO!

The Kawai digital piano is a revolutionary new keyboard instrument that combines the latest in electronic advances with traditional craftsmanship inherited from Kawai’s many years of experience in building fine pianos. Its keyboard provides the touch response and full dynamic range required for a superb performance on the piano, harpsichord, organ, and other instruments. In addition, the CA piano is equipped with reverb and a digital effect processor for an even fuller sound. Industry-Standard MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) jacks are included which allow you to play other electronic instruments at the same time—opening a whole new world of musical possibilities.

This Owner’s Manual contains valuable information that will help you make full use of this instrument’s many capabilities.

There are two main sections in the manual. One is the Tutorial section and the other is a Reference section. The tutorial section explains the basic features of the CA piano. Read this section first if this is your first digital piano. The reference section describes the operation and uses of each of the panel components-buttons, sliders, and jacks. If you are familiar with digital pianos, you may want to start with this section. Please read all sections carefully and keep this manual handy for further reference.
