I signed up for an online piano course and needed a keyboard to get started. I was lost as to where to start, I did a lot of research and spoke to a few experts explaining what I was looking for, the Kawai was recommended as having one of the closest feel to a real piano in its price range. I listened to the sound of the instrument and I was hooked. The features were well in line with what I was looking for, I was not in the market for an electronic keyboard with hundreds of voices and songs etc. the kawai ES120 was enough to get me started and keep me entertained for a few years, it is not awash with features that would not only distract me but for which I had no need. Once I decided on the Kawai ES120 there was no turning back and I eventually purchased mine from Thomann music Germany. It’s a beautiful instrument , I like the feel of the keys and most importantly the sounds. The only negative I found is the included sustain pedal, I took care of this by purchasing a new third party pedal. The speakers sound great via my headsets however it’s not as loud as I would have liked directly through the speakers, this can be fixed by using external speakers and even an amp.
Am I happy with this purchase…YES INDEED. Highly recommended.
