Kawai MP11SE Stage Piano
Overview
The Kawai MP11SE is a professional stage piano built around the same Grand Feel III wooden-key action found in Kawai's premium digital pianos, making it one of the most authentically piano-like stage instruments available. The action features long wooden keys with ivory-touch surfaces, let-off simulation, and triple sensors that capture every nuance of touch with exceptional accuracy. The sound engine delivers Kawai's finest piano samples including the Shigeru Kawai SK-EX and SK-5 concert grands, recorded with multiple velocity layers and resonance modeling that creates a breathtakingly lifelike piano experience. Electric piano sounds are equally impressive, with vintage Rhodes and Wurlitzer tones that respond organically to playing dynamics. The built-in effects section includes reverb, delay, chorus, phaser, tremolo, and rotary speaker simulation, all accessible through a clean, intuitive front panel. The virtual technician feature allows deep customization of piano parameters including voicing, damper resonance, string resonance, and hammer response. The solid construction weighs fifty-four pounds, heavier than some competitors but justified by the superior wooden key action. The MP11SE is the definitive choice for concert pianists, classical crossover artists, and any performer who refuses to compromise on touch quality. The heavier weight makes it less portable than synthetic-key alternatives, and the sound library is more piano-focused than some competing workstations.
