Piano World Home Page Forums Our Most Popular Forums Digital Pianos - Electronic Pianos - Synths & Keyboards Kawai CN-33 Arrived !

The last Friday I went to a local store to buy a new DP. At first, I was interested in buying the Kawai CN-23, due to I preferred a more compact size. But that model was not at the store. The salesman encouraged me to try out the CN-33 and I loved it. The vendor offered me a good price, so I decided to buy this model.

Previously I had tried out the ROLAND HP-302, at other local store. I liked this piano as well, but I liked the CN-33 much more. I’m a beginner, so I cannot explain why I prefer one model over other. I suppose that I like more the sound and touch of CN-33. I also prefer the look of Kawai over Roland.

I asked for the mahogany finish, and I have to wait some days to receive the piano. I hope to be lucky with this piano!

I wish you most good luck Recaredo, after the issues you had with your old one you deserve it.

Thanks Rossy!

Recardo congratulations on your new piano. I just players Cn33 last week and I liked it too. I think you will be very happy! It is a very nice piano.

Congrats Recardo. I've had mine for 18 months and am still very happy with it. Post a picture please when you get it.

Pics pls.

Thanks for your comments, guys. I'll post some photos when the piano arrives.

Cheers!

Marcs - congrats on your purchase! I love the look of the white ones! I would buy one but you can not buy white ones in Australia. So instead I just admire the pictures I see on here

The piano has arrived this evening. It looks pretty nice.

Now I only have to learn to play it!

Nice. You'll enjoy learning to play it. I do.

Recaredo:

That looks beautiful - which wood finish is that?

Hi Jrcallan, the finish is mahogany.

Spanishbuddha, I'm glad you are also enjoying this DP!

Recaredo, good choice!

Mahogany is my favourite of the the Kawai DP finishes (behind ebony polish).

Cheers,
James

Thanks James!

That's actually a very nice finish indeed (and that's coming from someone who believes all pianos should be black)

Thanks nikky for the congrats on my "kawaiian" purchase ;-) Nice to hear that you adore this finish as well. I still love this piano too much!

Congrats on your purchase recaredo. The mahagony finish loots pretty good and matches your room entirely! I wish you all the pleasure one can have with your new Kawai! :-)

All the best
Marcs

Thanks for your comments, Dr Popper and Marcs.


Your CN-33 also looks pretty nice, Marcs!

Hi,

I'm a new proud owner of a Kawai CN33. I'm loving the piano. The sound is great and so is the touch and the build quality is also very good. Here a couple of pictures:





Meanwhile, can anyone send me a picture of the back of your CN33 so I can see how you fixed the pedal cord? Looking at the assembly instructions I couldn't quite understand how you should fix the pedal cord with the cord clamps.

Best regards.

Congrats PianoPeter. Enjoy.

Not sure I understand about the pedal cord. On mine it runs up the left side at the back, and the slack in the cord is just retained by the cord clamp, so that it doesn't sag down under its own weight. You can't see it from the back of the piano because of the back partition.

Congratulations PianoPeter, your CN33 looks terrific - great photographs too!

The CN series owner's manuals are based on an older format, with the assembly instructions for the CN33/CN43 in particular a little difficult to follow. As spanishbuddha notes, the pedal cable should extend from underneath the pedal board, behind the instrument's back board, then through the aperture, into the pedal connector. To improve the appearance, any slack in the cable can be reduced using the clips/clamps.

Here is a similar explanation from the CA63 owner's manual. While the assembly process for this model is a little different, many of the principles from step 4 should still apply.



I hope this helps.

Kind regards,
James
