  • Our take on the Kawai CA401

    The Kawai CA401 is a mid-range wooden-key digital piano built around Kawai's Grand Feel Compact action, with 88 graded, weighted wooden keys and triple-sensor detection. It uses Harmonic Imaging sound sampling from the Shigeru Kawai SK-EX concert grand and adds Bluetooth MIDI plus USB-B for connecting to apps and computers. It suits players moving up from a plastic-action slab piano who want an acoustic-like touch at home, and it competes with Yamaha's Clavinova CLP-725 and Roland's HP704 on action realism rather than on voices or connectivity. Reviewers tend to rate the key feel and cabinet finish highly while noting the sound engine and speaker set are simpler than those of pricier models in the line.

    Pros
    • Graded wooden keys with triple sensors give a realistic, expressive touch
    • Harmonic Imaging sound from the SK-EX concert grand is warm and natural
    • Bluetooth MIDI and USB-B make app and computer connection easy
    • Available in black, white and brown to match a room
    • Solid cabinet with a sliding key cover and built-in music rest
    Cons
    • Fewer instrument voices and no accompaniment features compared with some rivals
    • Speaker system is modest for the cabinet size
    • No built-in tuner or line outputs for stage or recording use
    • Heavier than a portable slab piano, so it stays in one place

    What reviewers say

    Owners and reviewers consistently praise the wooden key action and the natural piano tone, calling the CA401 one of the better-feeling pianos in its class. Criticism centers on the limited voice selection and the speakers, which some find thin at higher volumes.

    Questions and answers

    Is the Kawai CA401 good for beginners?
    Yes, if the budget allows. The graded wooden action builds good finger strength from the start, though beginners who mainly want many sounds and learning features may prefer a cheaper slab piano.
    How does the CA401 compare with the CA501?
    The CA501 steps up to a longer Grand Feel III action and a fuller speaker system. The CA401 keeps the wooden keys and core SK-EX sound in a simpler cabinet.
    Does the CA401 have Bluetooth?
    Yes. It supports Bluetooth MIDI for wireless app connection, plus a USB-B port for a wired computer link. It does not stream audio over Bluetooth.
    Can I use headphones with the CA401?
    Yes. It has both a 1/4-inch and a 1/8-inch headphone jack, so you can practice silently without an adapter.
    What comes in the box with the CA401?
    The piano arrives with its stand and built-in pedals, a music rest and a power supply. A bench and headphones are usually sold separately.
    Does the CA401 have line outputs for recording?
    No. It offers headphone jacks and USB-B only, so recording to an interface means using the USB connection or a headphone output.
    Where is the Kawai CA401 cheapest?
    At Musician's Friend, for $2,149.00, as of our latest check.
    Where can I buy the Kawai CA401?
    2 stores we checked sell it, including Guitar Center, Musician's Friend.
