Oh, and are the user manuals on line somewhere we can take a look?
I would like to know how the connectivity options work with USB and all as well as know which the 20 voices are that are not included on the 63

To me the biggest obvious difference was the weight of the keys. I could feel the difference between the ivory touch and non-ivory touch, but I didn't realy have a preference either way. The ivory touch may be better for my sweaty paws though. :o)

I too would be interested in the manuals. I am suprised there isn't anything on the European Kawai website about the 63 & 93.

theJourney, KAWAI Europe don't appear to have their English language CA93/CA63 pages online yet, however the brochure and owner's manual PDFs are available on the server:

Brochure: http://kawai.de/service/ca93_63_catalog.pdf
Manual: http://kawai.de/service/ca93_63_e.pdf

The sound list is on page pp.83.

EDIT: Great song name on page pp.79 too...

nor their Dutch ones. Nor does KawaiUS...
Kawai must be a low budget operation internally.
I hope they are paying you well!! ha!

Thanks for this again.

The CA 51 allready had this problem, the sound jumped too quickly from p to f. But using user preference in virtual technician menu you can get (not easily) a more natural curb and more present midrange.

What about the way escapment work ? Can you reach the hard point and then still get a sound, like with pha III ? How many sensor there is ? Can we repeat a note without dumpering it before, like in a real piano ?

@theJourney, yes, you can download the manual on the German website www.kawai.de, unfortunately only in German, if I recall correctly.

Edit: Ooops, I'm way too late with this information...

hooray, I see the pages are online now

I was under the impression that the CA63 and the CA93 had the same keyboard action. Is there no escapement in the CA63?

No there is no escapement in the CA63

The CA93 and CA63 are finally listed on the Kawai US website!

Hi there. I'm new to the digital piano world. I am used to playing a grand (Yahama C3) but I need a silent digital (ie headphoned) for evening practise at my home. Not bothered about the sound since I do have an acoustic - it's all about the action. My question is:Which models of digital pianos use an actual hammer action using a gravity return hammer as in my grand? I know the Kawai CA93/63 do, as do the Yamaha AvantGrand. Are there any other makes? Do Roland do one (does the HP307 use an actual gravity return hammer?). My budget is $5000 for a digital instrument that closest emulates the action of my C3 grand (I can't afford the AvantGrand). Thanks

Technocube, I have answered this question in your other thread
