Kawai ES120B Digital Portable Piano

The Kawai ES120B is an 88-key portable digital piano in black, designed to offer an acoustic-inspired playing experience without the size of a permanent cabinet. Its improved Responsive Hammer Compact action, Kawai concert-grand sounds and built-in speakers make it suitable for music students, home players and performing musicians. It also has enough connectivity to work comfortably with recording equipment, learning apps and external sound systems.

Responsive Hammer Compact weighted-key action

Kawai’s Responsive Hammer Compact keyboard uses graded hammer weighting, so the lower notes feel heavier than the upper notes. The springless mechanism is designed to give a smooth, stable return and make repeated notes feel natural. Matte key surfaces support comfortable control during longer sessions. For pianists who practise classical music or move between acoustic and digital instruments, the full 88-key range and graded touch are important advantages over a lightweight unweighted keyboard.

SK-EX and EX grand piano sounds with 25 voices

Kawai uses Harmonic Imaging sampling to reproduce the character of its Shigeru Kawai SK-EX and Kawai EX grand pianos across all 88 notes. The ES120 includes 25 sounds, giving musicians a choice of acoustic piano colours, electric pianos and other supporting voices. With up to 192-note polyphony, chords and sustained passages can retain their detail. A 20-watt stereo speaker system is built in, and the Low Volume Balance function helps make quiet practice more enjoyable.

Bluetooth, recording and performance connections

Bluetooth MIDI and Audio allow the ES120 to work with compatible apps or stream music through its speakers, subject to regional availability. USB-MIDI provides another way to connect to a computer. The stereo line outputs are helpful for stages and studios because they can feed a mixer or speaker system directly. Dual headphone sockets support private playing, while a song recorder, metronome and 100 drum rhythms help with structured practice and musical ideas.

Portable format, pedals and the right home setup

The ES120 weighs around 12 kg without its detachable music rest, making it portable enough for occasional performance and easy relocation at home. A damper switch pedal is normally supplied, but a half-damper or full three-pedal setup requires a compatible accessory. The optional HML-2 stand and F-351 pedal board create a more furniture-like configuration. Choose the ES120 if flexibility and portability are important; compare a Kawai CX-series cabinet piano if you need a permanent three-pedal home instrument.
