Instrumentdetails
The Kawai ES920 represents a masterclass in balancing high-end performance with genuine portability. While the transition from the metal chassis of its predecessor to a reinforced plastic body initially raised eyebrows, the weight reduction is a revelation for gigging musicians. The core of this instrument remains the Responsive Hammer III (RHIII) action; with integrated counterweights and a convincing let-off simulation, it offers a mechanical authenticity that few plastic-key actions can match, providing the necessary resistance for nuanced classical or jazz performances.
Sonically, the Shigeru Kawai SK-EX samples are the star of the show. The Harmonic Imaging XL engine produces a rich, woody resonance and a wide dynamic range that avoids the 'thin' digital decay often heard in this price bracket. The Onkyo-designed speaker system is surprisingly punchy, delivering clear highs and a defined low end that fills a room without an external amp. On the downside, the OLED interface and button layout feel somewhat utilitarian and dated compared to the sleek touch-interfaces of modern competitors. Additionally, the lighter chassis lacks that 'tank-like' feel of premium studio gear. However, for the serious player prioritizing touch and tone over flashy workstation features, the ES920 is arguably the most expressive portable piano on the market today.
