This 2023 model retains the highly-regarded Grand Feel Compact wooden-key keyboard action of its predecessor, while incorporating the new SK-EX Competition Grand piano sound, reproduced using Progressive Harmonic Imaging sound technology. This latest recreation of the flagship Shigeru Kawai piano uses all new sample data, specifically recorded from the player’s perspective, and is characterized by a bright and clear sound with a distinctive attack. Complementing this stunning new piano sound, the CA401 also utilizes an improved AC power adapter, which helps to ensure a smoother, clearer sound through both speakers and headphones compared to previous generation models.

In addition to Bluetooth MIDI, the CA401 now also includes Bluetooth Audio connectivity, allowing audio from smart devices to be played through the instrument’s speakers wirelessly. Both Bluetooth components adopt the latest v5 standard, providing ultra-low latency, improved reliability, and superior sound quality when paired with the latest devices. The updated CA401 also features redesigned control panels with a more intuitive button layout to complement the existing 2.5" OLED display.

Finally, the CA401’s attractive cabinet has also received design refinements, with improved pedal positioning and music score support pins, which can be raised to hold the pages of thicker notated scores securely in place.
