I recently sold my 2m Bechstein Grand and swopped it for a Kawai CA99. No regrets. You can't show off your grand piano anymore, however, I play ten times more, you can change the sound and, most importantly, you can play with headphones - anytime.
Same. Exceeded my “electronic piano” expectations. I found myself playing much better than I normally would on digital piano…. and a greater number of total notes.
How did I missed this video all this time?? This comparison is just astonishing, I'd have like though a bit more of playing side by side, still interesting to hear both pianos using the same mic
Yesterday at the piano warehouse I tried every digital again and again and always had to go back to CA99 because I think its sound can best appreciate the sound of a real piano compared to others even the Roland 7.8k dollars one, so I paid the 5.2k. its the most expensive thing Ive ever bought🥺 Hope i will love it
Interesting video! Yes, I believe this is the only available direct comparison with a real acoustic (magnificent!) grand. Can you do a similar comparison with the NV5S one day please? That would be very interesting!
i think the digitals have reached a point where they can be compared to an upright or a small baby grand.The Sk sounds way richer than the digital,when you played those bass notes there was no comparison at all with the digital.
I played a CA99 and yes was awesome...very clean and clear...however, for me, a high quality acoustic will always be the best...authenticity excellence...
i would be 99% sure it is, with the plus of allowing you to practice anytime of the day, so more practicing... But i would recommend practicing at least once on a similar piano to the one of the exam. A big difference i notice in acoustic, being very used to digitals, is the fixed loud volume and increased dynamic range. At home I tend to play low volume and everytime i try an acoustic im intimidated by its loudness, but that uncompromising loudness ofters more choice of dynamics approach, specially playing much softer and with less pedal than i tend to do on digital.
@@sonicboyPT yes it has quite sense what you are saying about the use of volume. I just was asking about the action of the CA 99 is suitable to prepare the diploma of classical music. thanks for your reply 👍

Thank you for one of the best comparisons between a digital and acoustic instruments.

This is an excellent video. Astonished to hear these two together in one review. Very rare .

Nice Review.. I actually own a CA99, and it is the best THING I have ever owned
I bought one and its gonna arrive soon , i really look forward to it
Thanks a lot, this helped so much in our decision making :-)
Would have liked to have heard more direct music comparison between the instruments. Is the Ca99 sound projection identical to that of the NV5?
Thank you! 👍
Is this Ca99 suitable for classical music diploma exam level?? Or not enough?
