Finally, the Appendix section (page 50) includes listings for all demo, and Lesson function songs, a troubleshooting guide, MIDI
reference information, and full specication details.
ES110 Feature Highlights
Responsive Hammer Compact (RHC) weighted-key keyboard action
The new Responsive Hammer Compact (RHC) action has been developed to reproduce the distinctive touch of an acoustic
grand piano. The weight of the keyboard is appropriately graded to mirror the heavier bass and lighter treble hammers
of acoustic pianos, with a smooth matte texture applied to each black and white key for enhanced playability. As with
all Kawai digital piano keyboard actions, Responsive Hammer Compact utilises hammer velocity sensors, and features a
springless mechanism that delivers a smooth and natural piano playing experience.
Despite its lightweight, compact design, the RHC action allows experienced pianists to perform with condence, playing
fortissimo with power and certainty, while delicately controlling the softest, most gentle pianissimo passages.
Harmonic Imaging™ (HI) sound technology, 88-key piano sampling
The ES110 digital piano captures the beautiful sound of Kawai’s highly acclaimed hand-built concert grand piano, with
all 88 keys of this exceptional instrument meticulously recorded, analysed and faithfully reproduced using proprietary
Harmonic Imaging ™ technology. This unique process accurately recreates the broad dynamic range of the original grand
piano, aording pianists an extraordinary level of expressiveness ranging from the softest pianissimo to the strongest,
boldest fortissimo.
Additional reverberation eects that simulate the acoustic environment of a recital room, small room, or concert hall are
also applied, resulting in a rich, vibrant piano tone that delivers breathtaking realism and authenticity.
Internal Song recorder, Built-in Lesson Function
The ES110 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 Burgmüller and 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 dicult passages to be
perfected.
Integrated Bluetooth® MIDI connectivity
In addition to standard MIDI jacks for connecting to other instruments, the ES110 digital piano also boasts integrated
Bluetooth MIDI technology that allows the instrument to communicate with supported smart devices wirelessly. Once
connected to a phone, tablet, or laptop, ES110 digital piano owners can enjoy a wide variety of exciting music-related
apps that enhance their learning and playing experience without additional cables.
* Availability of Bluetooth function dependent on market location.
