Kawai ES60 88-key Digital Piano (ES 60 / ES-60)

The Touch of a Grand Piano: Responsive Hammer Lite keyboard action

The ES60’s Responsive Hammer Lite keyboard action offers a natural, expressive touch to help players build strength and develop technique, with grade-weighted keys that resemble the feel of an acoustic grand piano. Incorporating hammer-sensing and cushioning technologies from Kawai’s larger ES Series instruments, the RHL action provides smooth, responsive playability, and reduced mechanical noise for a quieter playing experience in the home.

Acoustic piano key weighting

Just as acoustic pianos utilise heavier bass hammers and lighter treble hammers, the RH Lite keyboard action also employs different hammer weights, appropriately graded for each playing range.

Such details provide greater stability during fortissimo passages, while preserving delicate pianissimo control, to satisfy the demands of even the most discerning pianist.
