? CA17 Feature Highlights
RM3 Grand II wooden-key action with Ivory Touch key surfaces and ‘Let-Off’ mechanism
The CA17 digital piano utilises Kawai’s latest RM3 Grand II wooden-key action, incorporating various grand piano action
characteristics, such as contrasting hammer weights - appropriately graded for each playing range - bass key counter-
balancing, and correctly located pivot points for both black and white keys.  The unique ‘seesaw’ movement provides
a consistent, evenly balanced action, while finely textured Ivory Touch key surfaces not only enhance the enjoyment of
playing, but also help to absorb moisture, thus preventing fingers from slipping.
The RM3 Grand II keyboard action even reproduces the subtle let-off sensation felt when playing the keys of a grand piano
very softly, satisfying the expectations of even the most discerning pianists.
Shigeru Kawai SK-EX and Kawai EX concert grand pianos reproduced with full 88-key sampling
The CA17 digital piano captures the magnificent tone of Kawai’s flagship Shigeru Kawai SK-EX full concert grand piano
using the latest Harmonic Imaging XL sound technology.  Widely regarded 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
exceptional tonal clarity.  In addition, the CA17 also feature the distinctive sound of Kawai’s highly acclaimed EX concert
grand piano, which has frequently been selected by professional pianists in such prestigious events as the Chopin,
Tchaikovsky, and Rubenstein international piano competitions, among others.
Both instruments have been carefully recorded, meticulously analysed, and faithfully reproduced with full 88-key sampling
technology. This process preserves the unique characteristics of each individual note, while accurately recreating the
broad dynamic range of the original grand pianos, to afford pianists an extraordinary level of expression from the softest
pianissimo to the strongest, boldest fortissimo.
Internal Song recorder, Built-in Lesson Function
The CA17 digital piano features a three song recorder, allowing performances to be recorded to internal memory and
played back at the touch of a button.
In addition, the convenient lesson feature allows aspiring pianists to learn the piano using a built-in collection of etudes
from Czerny and Burgmuller, or songs from the popular Alfred course books. The left and right hand parts for each piece
can be practiced separately, while adjusting the tempo allows more difficult passages to be perfected.
