From Our Research Team:

Incredibly Expressive Piano Feel, Amazing Sounds

The Kawai EP3 brings you a portable digital piano for home, studio, and stage alike! The EP3's graded hammer action provides the same responsive feel of Kawai's acclaimed acoustic pianos, relying on innovative Harmonic Imaging technology to recreate the rich, vibrant sound of Kawai's 9-foot EX Concert Piano. An improved speaker system, convenient I/O placement make this unit an evolutionary improvement on its sibling, the popular EP2. The EP3 features an onboard metronome with 30 different drum rhythms (with adjustable drum volume), and functions as a 2-track, 3-song recorder. You also get the amazing string sound from Kawai's CE200 keyboard on the EP3!

Kawai EP3 Digital Piano with Speakers at a Glance:
  • Express yourself
  • Play what you want, where you want
  • Sculpt your sound

Responsive feel
The action on the Kawai EP3 uses hammers whose weights have been "graded" to match the feel of Kawai's acoustic pianos, delivering an ultra-responsive feel. Sure to satisfy the demands of even the most demanding players, the EP3 encourages expressive, natural playing.

Express yourself
Through its use of Harmonic Imaging Sound Technology, the EP3 recreates the rich, vibrant sound of Kawai's finest concert pianos. From fortissimos to pianissimos, the EP3 captures the resonant, dynamic sound you'd expect from a premium acoustic piano, while boasting a number of other high-quality instrument sounds as well. For example, The EP3 includes the same lush string sound featured on the CE200 keyboard. Plus the EP3's improved onboard speaker system lets you take that great sound anywhere and start playing right away.

Sculpt your sound
The EP3 gives you control over virtual voicing and brilliance, letting you sculpt each sound to your own personal taste, while damper effect, string resonance, and half-damper all add to the EP3's realism. The internal metronome helps you always play and practice in time, and dual headphone inputs make the EP3 great for lessons.

Best customer service I've ever encountered. My guitar arrived ahead of the date it was supposed to, in flawless condition. Played well right out of the box. I will be buying all of my gear from you, from here on out. You made me feel like I was ordering a custom guitar, just for me. I was treated like a valuable customer.

best piano ever

by Holly from Wolfeboro, NH

Music Background: Pro Musician
This piano is everything advertised and more. As a pro musician for many years, classically trained (but play in every style)..... the sound, touch and delivery of this digital keyboard has been a dr... read more [+]eam come true. I just used it for the first time in an offsite gig in a large room (away from my home studio), and was thrilled at the feedback on the sound in that space with no extra amplification.
"We've come a long way, baby" in the perfecting of digital sound and touch/action in these keyboards. Thank you, Kawai..... thank you, Sweetwater (and use Chris Geissler as your guide.... a wonderful and accommodating staffer!) close [-]

Great piano with nice sounds and action

by Rick from Indiana, USA
August 17, 2012
Music Background: Amateur pianist
The EP3 has excellent piano sounds especially when adding in the reverb and brilliance effects. My Casio AP-620 doesn't have this degree of resonance and sustain pedal decay. The action is just a litt... read more [+]le lighter than either my Casio / Roland V-Piano (as I now own three digitals) although it feels very smooth and responsive. Neither the Casio / Kawai can compare with the V-Piano (as it is in another class by itself) however, the Kawai does sound very good in its price range. It is also more portable than my other two pianos which is a definite plus. I am satisfied with the purchase, overall. close [-]

Non-keyboard player

by Richard from New Mexico
September 19, 2011
Music Background: Performer
I am a sax guy who fills in on keyboards in a steel drum band. I bought this keyboard to take on the steel drum band gigs. That band does reggae, calypso and bossa style music, and the keyboard's di... read more [+]fferent voices fit well: I use the organ for reggae, marimba sound for calypso...etc. The weighted keys really feel like a piano, and the action can be adjusted . I haven't used all of the features, but the various functions flow naturally from visible buttons above the keyboard. I have run the keyboard through a Peavy keyboard amp for gigs and it sounds nice. The keyboard does weigh quite a bit...a case with wheels is a necessity not a luxury. I got a good deal through Sweetwater and have absolutely no complaints after having used it at two gigs so far. High quality and a good value for the price. close [-]
