Questions and Comments

Just tried the CA65 down at RoseMorris – well let me just
say I’d rather spend my money on the CA13.

CA63 much much better feel, quess they won’t be around
for much longer now – do you still have the CA63 for sale ?

“Kawai CA95 or Yamaha NU1?”

Hello Graham,

I’m still working through you book but have found it helpful for clarifying the descriptions of digital pianos. I’m an experienced pianist with a somewhat limited budget shopping for a decent digital and wondered if you could offer an opinion on the Kawai CA95 vs the Yamaha NU1. I prefer the sound of the CA95 (has a true soundboard, while the Yamaha is too bright and that’s not adjustable) and the touch of the NU1 (true mechanical action that provides a wider dynamic range). I tried a couple of Rolands and didn’t prefer the sound or touch of them over these two.

Thank you,
Jonathan

Reply/ Hi Jonathan

The Yamaha NU1 has a superior feel to the keys
than the Kawai CA95. It plays exactly like a real
piano (this is because it has the same action
(minus the hammers) as a real acoustic Yamaha
piano.

As far as sound goes, I also prefer the clear and
rich tones of the Yamaha.

There really is no comparison.

Yours pianistically,

Graham Howard
