Hi, all.

First, excuse for my English... My first record at a foreign forum...

Process of choice DP was finally narrowed up to these two models. Unfortunately, there is no opportunity itself to test these tools, therefore I search for the information at forums. Please, help to find answers to my questions.

Very much model Kawai ES4 is pleasant, but from the previous messages I know about problems with her keyboard. But it was for a long time, there can be now these problems were are corrected? Especially, a problem of "clicking" keys.

As far as I have understood, the sound at Kawai ES4 is much better, than at CP33. The keyboard at СP33 is better, than at ES4? If, yes, on what parameters? At CP33 the weight of keys changes from the top registers to bottom and how business with CP33 is?

And still interests, what you would choose, ES4 or CP33?

I shall be glad to any information.

Beforehand thanks!

Really nobody knows? Even any information...

I'm sorry to say that I've yet to be impressed by Kawai's digital stage pianos, which is a shame as I love their acoustic grands. The Yamaha CP33 is good but you should also check out the Roland FP-4/7.

There are a lot of posts here already about the Kawai ES4. Do a search for that information. The reason there are few replies is because there is nothing to add to what's already been said.

Aidan, but why? There were same problems with keys... That is all the same it is better СP33? Roland does not interest, as at it less reliable mechanism of the keyboard.

The Pro, I have read all posts be relative Kawai ES4, I know all problems both CP33, and ES4, but they have been made enough for a long time. Therefore can appear not actual. Probably, the manufacturer has corrected all troubles?

I too under impression from Kawai ES4, from its appearance, and a sound, certainly. But these tools at us in Russia expensive enough, and at me only one chance of purchase, therefore it would be desirable to not make the wrong choice.

Thanks for answers, and once again I am sorry for my English...

The CP33 and FP4/7 are all recent enough that there isn't really anything to suggest that either of them suffer from reliability problems. There has been the occasional "clicky key" problems associated with the FP4 but I've not had any problems with mine and the reported cases are a fraction of the user base.

To me the Kawais don't sound as realistic as either the Yamaha or the Roland.
