After having tried the models at Yamaha and Roland, in the same category I find the CA 701 well above the others (touch/sounds/finishes)!
Having previously been on a straight acoustic KawaĂŻ and for exclusively logistical reasons... Going back to digital was not easy!
I think he is the only one who can properly support this change! ... Several possible settings... I just need to find the one that will be most adapted to the infectious acoustics in my living room! :-/
In terms of furniture finishes... for the price, they could have done better anyway! The junction of the bottom of the cabinet to the keyboard part is badly done! (Slight lag, not logical and aesthetic!)
And beware, they made a piano for people who don't have cats (and the need to put stuff on their piano ^^)! Because on the top it's all the way from the speakers! So of course, it gives it power and it's immersive... but it's also very scary when you live (CHEZ, let's remember!) her cat! :)
The brand name would have been more chic in gold! And they could have faded from the umlaut on Kawai Island! :-)
The keyboard felt is black. I would have preferred the color... The start of the pedals could also have been set with felt in the same color! (Preferably red) It would have been a lot more chic! (And in my opinion it would have given it a feminine touch that it lacks. Very subjective... even so! :) âDetails make perfection and perfection is not a detailâ...
And so although it is well above my piano level, it meets my requirements quite well and should satisfy my feelings! ...
Its cost is important! But I think that it is an instrument that meets a lot of criteria and that can therefore accompany an apprenticeship, a musical experience for a long time! :)Automatically translated
