KAWAI DG30

A modern digital piano that leaves a grand impression – this is the bold concept behind the new DG30. This striking instrument combines Kawai’s authentic digital piano keyboard and sound technologies and marries them with a contemporary grand piano-like cabinet, finished in luxurious ebony polish. Like a piece of fine furniture, the DG30 will surely complement the interior of almost any room, while its compact size and shape allows this impressive instrument to occupy less space than even the smallest baby grands.

Description

The new DG30 digital grand piano features the class-leading Responsive Hammer III keyboard action and acoustic piano sound of the Shigeru Kawai SK-EX, providing a more natural and realistic playing experience. The RHIII action delivers authentic piano touch through structural reinforcements that minimize noise and key wobble, as well as a springless design that allows for smooth movement. Complementing these elements, the Shigeru Kawai concert grand piano sound offers both the warmth and power found in the acoustic instrument. The gorgeous sounds are delivered through a powerful 4-speaker sound system developed in collaboration with premium audio specialists, Onkyo.

Bluetooth® MIDI and Audio expand the DG30’s functionality by connecting wirelessly with smart devices while using apps. An adjustable metronome, built-in lesson function, and song recorder also contribute to making this piano a great choice for beginning piano players. All of these features are integrated into the attractive cabinet, which offers modern style and elegance, along with long and short lid props for either full or partial lid positions. The DG30 Digital Grand Piano provides an inspiring piano playing experience while bringing beauty and elegance to any home.

FEATURES

TONE

The DG30 digital grand piano captures the magnificent tone of Kawai’s flagship Shigeru Kawai SK-EX full concert grand piano. Widely regarded as the “premier pianos of Japan”, Shigeru Kawai instruments grace the stages of concert halls and musical institutions throughout the world, and are prized for their exceptional tonal clarity. In addition, the DG30 also features the distinctive sound of Kawai’s highly acclaimed EX concert grand piano, which has frequently been selected by professional pianists in such prestigious events as the Chopin, Tchaikovsky, and Rubinstein international piano competitions, among others.

Both instruments have been carefully recorded, meticulously analysed, and faithfully reproduced with full 88-key sampling using Harmonic Imaging™ sound technology. This unique process accurately recreates the broad dynamic range of the original grand pianos, affording pianists an extraordinary level of expressiveness ranging from the softest pianissimo to the strongest, boldest fortissimo.

SUPERIOR SOUND

The DG30 features a premium speaker and audio system developed by audio equipment specialist Onkyo delivering improved tonal clarity and superior sound. Lower-range frequencies are delivered through the underside of the instrument, while mid and high frequencies are projected outward via top-mounted speakers, closely mirroring the sound projection characteristics of an acoustic piano.

SONG RECORDER

DG30 Control Panel

DG30 Control Panel

The recorder on the DG30 allows up to three songs to be stored in internal memory and played back at the touch of a button. This functionality is expanded with 2-track recording that allows left and right-hand parts (or two different voices) to be recorded separately. Players can play back the left-hand part while practicing the right-hand part live—or vice versa—to strengthen hand independence.

LESSONS AND EXERCISES

The DG30’s convenient lesson function allows aspiring pianists to learn piano with classical Czerny, Chopin, Burgmüller, Beyer, Bach, and Beethoven etudes, or a collection of songs from the popular Alfred’s Basic, Adult, and Premier course books.

With a strong emphasis on acoustic piano realism, the DG30 also features traditional finger exercises, scales, and warm-up drills, and includes companion books for all classical scores to further aid one’s piano development. Learn More »
