1500 - 2000 euros | 2100 - 2600 dollarsKAWAI

STUNNING ACOUSTIC PIANOS

A variety of beautiful concert, jazz, and pop grand pianos, and a full-bodied traditional upright – appropriately voiced and mic’d for a broad range of musical styles.

Enjoy playing the original sounds, or delve into the powerful Virtual Technician to adjust the piano beneath your fingertips.

CHERISHED VINTAGE
EPsA treasure trove of authentic tine, reed, and modern electric pianos, crunchy clavs, and a striking electric grand – lovingly sampled to preserve their characteristics and imperfections.

Play them clean, or apply over 100 different effects, before plugging into carefully prepared amp/speaker simulations.

INSPIRING SUBSIDIARY SOUNDS

Studio quality strings, pads, basses, and other essential sounds suitable for creating splits, layering with acoustic pianos and EPs, or for simply playing solo.

Tweak each voice using comprehensive ADSR parameters, or fatten the overall sound with flexible parametric EQ.

ACCESSIBLE & INTUITIVE PANEL

A large graphic LCD display, four assignable real-time control knobs, and a well organised, immediately usable panel interface.

Leave the manual at home and concentrate on playing, rather than trying to remember which button does what.

THE MOST AUTHENTIC KEYBOARD

The keyboard action for serious pianists who appreciate true expression: Grand Feel delivers the most authentic playing experience ever found in a stage piano.

The longest keys, the longest pivot, and crafted entirely from wood – three reasons why Kawai is the industry leader.

Another acoustic-like characteristic of the Grand Feel action is the material chosen for the keys. As with an acoustic piano, all eighty-eight of the MP11SE’s black and white keys are crafted entirely from long pieces of wood. This ensures the weight of each key is distributed evenly throughout the length of the keystick, and guarantees an efficient transfer of movement energy when the note is struck.

In addition to having the longest keys of any stage piano, the MP11SE’s Grand Feel keyboard action also boasts the longest key pivot length – matching that of a Kawai grand piano. This pro­vides a more evenly balanced key touch weight from front to rear, which is beneficial when playing complicated chords with fingers positioned towards the back of the keyboard..

MASTERFUL MIDI CONTROL

Connect to a PC or Mac via USB, and to your favourite semi-weighted boards via standard MIDI, then control both simultaneously.

The MP11SE allows up to four MIDI channels to be controlled at the same time, each with their own custom key ranges and user-definable pedal and knob CC# assignments.

GENEROUS SETUP MEMORIES

Store and recall every customised sound, knob position, fader level, and adjustable parameter at the touch of a button.

With over 200 setup memories, the MP11SE is ideal for busy stage musicians who like to plan several shows ahead, before going out on the road.

PRO-AUDIO, PEDAL, &MIDI JACKS

Connect directly to the house PA using pro-grade XLRs, and to personal monitors with the high quality Line Out jacks.

Enjoy realistic damper, sostenuto, and soft playing control, by connecting the included Kawai GFP-3 triple pedal unit, or assign a range of alternative functions to individual pedals.

A PROUD LEGACY, TRUSTED BYPROS

With over 90 years of knowledge and experience in crafting world-class pianos, the Kawai name is trusted by concert pianists and respected academics throughout the world.

Likewise, among leading stage performers, the MP Series also enjoys a stellar reputation for quality and performance.

QUALITY DESIGN, MATERIALS,& BUILD

Elegantly finished wooden side panels, sleek gloss-black paintwork and a raised fallboard displaying the Kawai family name give the MP11SE a distinctly acoustic presence.

Its sturdy aluminium and steel chassis, and reinforced base reassures players that this instrument is built for the stage.
