The Sound of a Grand Piano: Shigeru Kawai SK-EX concert grand piano

Earning a reputation as the ‘premier pianos of Japan’, Shigeru Kawai instruments grace the stages of concert halls and musical institutions throughout the world, and are prized for their outstanding tonal clarity and exceptional dynamic range.

The ES60 reproduces the magnificent tone of the flagship Shigeru Kawai SK-EX concert grand piano.  This peerless instrument is hand-built by dedicated craftsmen at the Shigeru Kawai R&D Laboratory in Ryuyo, Japan, and widely regarded as one of the finest instruments in its class.

The Variety of a Digital Piano: Convenience & Flexibility

The ES60 offers a variety of features to complement its authentic keyboard touch and rich grand piano sounds.  The adjustable metronome is an invaluable tool for aspiring pianists wishing to improve their technique, while additional instrument voices, Dual and Split playing modes, and 30 drum rhythms allow players of all levels to indulge their creativity.

Live players will appreciate the dedicated Line Out jacks for sound reinforcement, while a standard USB-MIDI port provides flexibility for connecting the instrument to computers and smart devices to expand its built-in functionality.

Additional sounds & playing modes

Supplementing its realistic acoustic piano voices, the ES60 also offers a selection of additional instrument sounds, including electric pianos, organs, harpsichord, vibraphone, and strings.

The Dual and Split playing modes also allow 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.

PianoRemote app

The ES60 is compatible with Kawai’s latest PianoRemote control app for iOS and supported Android devices. This app connects to the piano via the instrument’s integrated USB-MIDI port, providing an effortless way to change sounds, adjust settings, and enjoy a selection of pre-recorded music content from an attractive user interface.

Perfect for recitals

Lightweight and compact, the ES60 is ideal for aspiring musicians seeking a portable piano with authentic touch and high-quality sounds.

The PianoRemote app allows players to save and recall custom sounds with ease, while dedicated stereo Line Out jacks enable direct connection to PA systems for recitals or small performances, with the option to keep the instrument’s built-in speakers active as personal monitors.

Stylish appearance, compact body

The ES60 adopts many of the same design elements as the larger ES models, featuring a rounded body, tapered side arms, and stylish appearance. Weighing just 11 kg, this compact and portable piano is easy to move around the home, or between classrooms and recital halls. Sound and function guides are conveniently printed behind the keys to aid changing sounds and settings, while the front headphone connector is ergonomically positioned for quick and easy access.
