After comparing quite a few digital pianos I think this is top of my wish list. I’m a beginner to piano but have played classical guitar and flute for years so I hope I’ll make quite good progress. This seems a model that’ll last me for many years. I think I’d end up upgrading if I bought a cheaper model, but not sure my playing will ever be good enough for a more expensive version. I think this one hits the sweet spot between price and quality. Sadly, I can’t buy from Bonners as I live in France but I really appreciate your excellent reviews. Thank you.
Thank you so kuch for this super helpful review. We're getting our KDP120 next week and this is the best video I've found that really shows everything we need to know and get excited about it. Many thanks!
It sounds like a "real" piano to me, not like the piano toys my daughter had as a toddler. 😄 I'm not a piano player, so I don't have the skills (or natural ability) to very technically evaluate the sound quality. We like how it sounds and looks. My daughter goes to a studio that uses Kawai pianos in their lessons, so that was another factor why we chose this. The only problem we've had so far was when one key suddenly stopped working. It turned out my daughter spilled her water on it. My husband used the canned/compressed air that we use for cleaning computer keyboards and it got fixed quickly. Needless to say, we now strictly implement the "no food & drink near the piano" rule.
A month ago bought this for my wife, in white color! She plays, and I'm interested in all sorts of technical things to understand! And everyone is happy.
Just ordered this one, just seeing this now. Wow I'm even more excited. Piano + string layer sounds wonderful, because I love to cover gentle film music and it sounds a lot like this.
hey, do you have it yet? im deciding before i buy between the ydp 144 and the kdp120, i dont know what to go for? the kdp120 does sound better however i have seen ALOT and SO many reviews on the ydp144 and im almost defending it... idk
@@HarveyB12 Yeah, I was going to ask her the same question, don't think I'll bother now! I'm a bit torn between the KDP120 and the CN29 (kind of the next one up). Also very tempted by the three hundred odd sounds available on the CN39 but I think it's just a few centimetres too long to fit in the teeny tiny size I'm hoping to squeeze it into. I'd probably only get distracted playing them all anyway. Have you decided which you're going for yet? They all get great reviews so can't really go wrong. CN29 gets especially stellar reviews for its price point, though.
@@HarveyB12 Cheers for the insider info! Glad that the feel is good. I guess an amplifier might be an idea long term? I think the KDP120 looks like the best value for money, nothing to touch it under £1k certainly, and the sound from all I've heard is superior to any Yamaha model in the same price bracket. I'm going to keep saving my pennies (overspent on Xmas presents) and see if I can get to a showroom in the next few months to compare Kawai model sounds in person. Will probably end up going for the 120 too. Enjoy your piano!
Thank you Tony for the in depth review. I have one question; does the KDP120 have the Reverb options like the ES520 has? I meant like that fabulous Cathedral reverb effect... Thanks!
I'm thinking of buying this one, just i see in the video if you press a little harder on the keys the whole piano moves, so did they just not screw the screws good or? and is it a good option to buy, cause I've been searching and this one is almost the best in my opinion
Yes, it's easy to do on the "PianoRemote" app but it's also possible to do on the piano itself by holding the Sound Select button and pressing certain notes on the keyboard (F#1 and G#1) that become volume up and down buttons to adjust the volume balance between the two sounds.
@@alpay389 ok I dont care that much about the apps, I have the kdp70 and i wanted to go up a bit, I'll wait for the kdp120 because they used another material for it that's not in the kdp110, basically when you press down a Key the sound of the plastic and counter weight is almost gone so it feels so much smoother, thanks
All, I got this one on top of 520,670,870....I recommend get a 100 USD Logitech thx speakers with a big WOOFER, you will enjoy your DPs so much better....the manufactures can do much with the speakers till you go up to nv5 or lx708 but a $100 Logitech takes care of all your needs🗽🗽🗽
Hello. I just bought today but i have a problem. There is a hammer noise and reverb on 7th octave keys. I can't remove them. I turned off reverb but there is still reverb on 7th octave :S
@@umut2181 hocam ben çok memnunum. Yamaha ydp 144 ile karşılaştırmalı videoları var. Kawai daha iyi diyor inceleyenler. Bluetooth epey işe yarıyor bu arada. Garageband ve diğer programlara falan kablosuz bağlanıyor.
The Kawai has a more realistic sounding piano sound. The strings and organ tones are comparable to the korg but the feel of the keys and the beautiful tone of th Kawai make it the winner

Ordered mine today!
Tony, your presentation is highly convincing. I bought this piano today and I can’t wait to play it, although I am a beginner.
Thinking to get this tommorow. How has it been?

hello! did u end up getting it? if is, how did it go
@@e-nq5ro Hi. Yes, I’ve had it quite a while. Really pleased with it. Nice feel to the piano action and great sound.
@@JohnMcGFrance thank you so much!gonna check it out at the store first, but i’m thinking about going with this one. thank u again😁

What's the verdict do you like it. Lots of reviews say it sounds artificial on some.notes?

Tony this video was superb and mega helpful. Thank you for doing such a concise demonstration. Your playing is awesome!

Wonderful review! Was torn between F701 and the KDP120..this review has convinced me to go with this one
Any regrets after 2 years. I am thinking about getting this model. Also how much you paid? It is 1499 now on retailers.
I own this piano and I love it
This guy is the best… thanks for this amazing video (and others). Greetings from Lima.
Just ordered this one, just seeing this now. Wow I'm even more excited. Piano + string layer sounds wonderful, because I love to cover gentle film music and it sounds a lot like this.

@@HarveyB12 do I look like a shop? Do you think I own all the pianos in the world?

Hi Helena, please tell where your Kawai KDP120 is manufactured and how its been since you've got used to it. Thanks.
Kawai sound made to give goosebumps. 🖤
Very nice presentation. Thank you
Thank you Tony for the in depth review. I have one question; does the KDP120 have the Reverb options like the ES520 has? I meant like that fabulous Cathedral reverb effect... Thanks!
Should I go for the Kawai kdp120 or the Yamaha ydp 165?
Really helpful review and demo. Thank you!!
Great presentation!
Very nice review!
Great review thanks
GREAT VIDEO!! Thanks

Hi Tony, just a quick question, can you adjust the volume of the sounds independently when you layers 2 sounds together? Thanks for a great review
Yes, it's easy to do on the "PianoRemote" app but it's also possible to do on the piano itself by holding the Sound Select button and pressing certain notes on the keyboard (F#1 and G#1) that become volume up and down buttons to adjust the volume balance between the two sounds.
@@wehttam67 Thank you 😊
Thank you for the review, but what's the song at 11:40 ?

@@angeluzunov6933 You are the best thank you !!!
Comparing to CN29?
what are adventages of CN29 over KDP120?
Mainly CN29 has improved action (touch)
Can I record myself playing and export that to a computer to make an mp3?
I want to know, kdp120 isn't available yet until after 2 months in my country, but is it so different from the kdp110?
the newest apps of kawai is not usable with kdp 110. kdp 120 is just a updated kdp110. the arius 164 is better if you dont care about apps.
@@alpay389 ok I dont care that much about the apps, I have the kdp70 and i wanted to go up a bit, I'll wait for the kdp120 because they used another material for it that's not in the kdp110, basically when you press down a Key the sound of the plastic and counter weight is almost gone so it feels so much smoother, thanks
What is song name of the Church Organ by 12 min.
All, I got this one on top of 520,670,870....I recommend get a 100 USD Logitech thx speakers with a big WOOFER, you will enjoy your DPs so much better....the manufactures can do much with the speakers till you go up to nv5 or lx708 but a $100 Logitech takes care of all your needs🗽🗽🗽
I had a B3 organ , I had to sell it I kept moving. It was Too expensive to move!That rotating speaker is a Leslie Speaker.
Hello. I just bought today but i have a problem. There is a hammer noise and reverb on 7th octave keys. I can't remove them. I turned off reverb but there is still reverb on 7th octave :S
Hi, did you solve your problem?
@@mozolewski What I wrote was normal. Since real acoustic pianos sound like this, they imitated the same. It's written in the user manual.
Selam, piyanondan memnun musun? Tuşların hissiyatı, ses kalitesi vs bakımından kawai kdp 120 yi, yamaha ydp 144 e tercih etmeli miyim sence?
@@umut2181 hocam ben çok memnunum. Yamaha ydp 144 ile karşılaştırmalı videoları var. Kawai daha iyi diyor inceleyenler. Bluetooth epey işe yarıyor bu arada. Garageband ve diğer programlara falan kablosuz bağlanıyor.

what is the name of the app for ios?
Turn down the lights. Turn down the bed. Turn down these voices inside my head 🎼
how does this model compare with Korg LP380U?
The Kawai has a more realistic sounding piano sound. The strings and organ tones are comparable to the korg but the feel of the keys and the beautiful tone of th Kawai make it the winner
Which piano is better in your opinion ? the kawai kdp120 or the yamaha ydp164 ?
Talking about sound is kdp, but on Key action, ydp is better.
I liked the kawai action better in this price range.
I’m also confused between the kdp 120 and ydp 164. But i guess I will go with the kdp still not sure.
Sir,Can you give me a help plz?

the name of the app?
