Fantastic board

by Mark Storey from Avery,TX.

Music Background: Weekend Player 30+ years
I absolutely love my Kawai MP6! I have been playing multi-keyboards since 1978. I have played in classic rock / country cover bands and owned Roland boards, the Yamaha DX-7, Ensoniq, and Alesis (st... read more [+]ill use my Alesis QuadaSynthPlus) but this keyboard is a wonderfully thought out and skillfully crafted instrument and midi controller.
I highly recommend you purchase the Yamaha FC-7 expression pedal to fully appreciate the midi controller capabilities of this instrument in a live performance situation. I primarily use it as a volume controller for some of the zones and it works like a charm. (I attempted to use the Roland EV-5 expression pedal and was disappointed with it's capability in interfacing with the MP6... could be a polarity issue but I attempted to change polarity and had similar results so not sure what the trouble is.) So glad Sweetwater had the MP6 in stock and could get it to me so quickly... I don't know why the Kawai MP series boards are so hard to come by but I am so glad I purchased mine. I was looking heavily at the Roland RD-700NX saved about 1K. Thanks Kawai! close [-]

One Great Keyboard

I just received the MP6 keyboard, excitedly unpacked it that evening and connected it to my Roland amp. I admired its beauty and the simplicity of the control panel. Selecting the piano setting, I pla... read more [+]yed a few music selections. I was "Living the Dream." After spending the majority of my life searching (and purchasing) what I thought would be the best piano sounding and best keyboard action stage piano, I would eventually realize there was something better and make another purchase. Then I found the MP6. If you want a true acoustic piano feel and the most real acoustic piano sound...the MP6 is your best bet. It also has great additional features that make it fun to play. Thanks to Sweetwater and particularly Dan V, my sales engineer, for going the extra mile for making this a pleasant purchasing experience. At this price the Kawai MP6 is a steal! close [-]

Picked this up several months ago, and I like it more all the time. It's got an acoustic or electric piano for every situation, and the action excellent. The organ sounds are also very good.

I took a chance on this and ordered from Germany when it was just on the market with only the company review/ spec available to me. It seemed like just what i was looking for! I researched many after... read more [+] using a technics for stage, but wanted a the most authentic piano sound and feel available that was a reasonable weight for gigs and great for recording, etc. Lots of musicians I know (and don't know) are raving on about Yamaha and the new Roland FP series but they clearing haven't tried this baby! Yes, you really have to try this piano to appreciate it! It's an all round smashing piano! :-) close [-]
