    I bought this high quality instrument because of its beautiful piano platform to play at home. The keyboard action is smooth and consistant with adjustable touch features. I'm not as fond of the string/choir tones but like the others. Also I have to jump a couple of hoops just to connect straight to my computer. But aparently midi will connect directly which I havent checked out yet.

  • Wonderful sound and action, limited variety of tones

    There must have been something wrong with the one that the author of the review titled "Great piano, terrible speakers," wrote on Amazon, because they sound excellent to me. I am quite sensitive and I've been listening to classical music for more than 50 years. Don't be scared away by this claim about the speakers. While we are on the topic of the speakers, the amplifiers are great! The bass that is produced by these amplifiers and speakers (and, of course, the excellent samples) is one of the things that makes the Kawai ES920 far superior to my wonderful Casio CDP S360, regarding sound and action with piano, electric piano, organ, vibes, and strings. The only significant complaint I have had was the terrible odor from the piano during the first month or two after opening the package. I bought it when it first came out. The glue or some other toxic-smelling chemical must have been in the process of curing or drying. After a few months, I didn't smell it, anymore.

    I do not think the stand or three pedal unit comes with this product or else I would pull the trigger and buy it. I think the displayed picture should be changed, it is misleading.
