Beautiful, affordable, feature rich instrument
Eskael 26.03.2021
As a beginner with just 5 months of experience, I'm afraid that my review won't bring much to your lives, but I'm blown away with this instrument.
It has a beautiful, highly customizable sampled sound with a well developed, easy to use PianoRemote app. Action is lighter than Roland's PHA-50 and far more responsive - Roland FP-90x felt heavy and sluggish in comparison. It feels like there is not that much depth after you press-down a key and the keys bounce a lot upon release, both of which I found distracting at first, but quickly got used to it. There are visible jumps in height between certain white keys, but again that's just minor nit-picking.
Build quality is great, and I don't get how people can have problems with fingerprints - I don't have that issue at all. I don't travel with it, but I appreciate the instrument's weight, as it doesn't feel like it will break the furniture while playing it.
For the first time in my life, I'm actually in love... and it even says 'Goodbye' to me, when I have to go away for a bit.

Sturdy, beautiful, rich sound
aaronwuzhere 16.01.2023
From the perspective of a guy who began the deep journey into piano world since last couple of years this instrument is a wholesome. Before I have had some experience with some entry level DPs and mid-range. But obviously my ES920 is one step ahead of them.

Pros (ofc everything is subjective):
- lovely action. Personally for me who has never played real concert piano this weight grade of the keys is nearly perfect. It's really easy for stuff like tremolos, trills etc. But as it was already mentioned by other customers it's lighter than PHA-50 in Roland FP90X and NWX in Yamaha P-515
- samples of pianos here are astonishing. Kawai did great job with sampling their flagship instruments SK-EX, SK-5, EX. Worth to mention that you can customize behavior of the sound and respond of the instrument in 19 parameters of Virtual Technician either directly through the menu buttons or via mobile app.
- well made and responsive pedals. I've bought my DP with F302 pedal unit and HM5 furniture stand. By default it comes with F-10H sustain pedal which is also very robust. Also you can get it with triple pedal block GFP-3 as an alternative, which I did later and quality is same durable and responsive.
- rhythm section will be fun to play with.

cons:
- action. yeah it might sound controversial from me according to my first point, but for some people (especially with real piano playing experience) this action might be too light and plastic feeling. Sound of bouncing keys might be too loud and annoying for people who practice in late time.
- lack of features, not various sound bank and incomplete General MIDI. I mean come on guys. This is a premium portable DP and you're not able to put there some more other sounds and features?! I mainly play on this instrument piano sounds only, for the rest I just connect it to VSTs.

To sum all of the mentioned above I'd definitely recommend this for buying. And thanks Thomann btw. You guys are rock!

Great portable piano
Mikejla 04.02.2021
I am really happy to be an owner of Kawai ES920. For me it is a great portable piano. I travel a lot and now at least I can take my piano wherever I go. What I like about ES920? After one month of using I still admire the sound, the keyboard work and the pedal. These features are very close to the real piano (when you push the pedal you can even hear the sound, which produce the freed strings :)). The piano is also very light so I can take it by my own, I don't need to ask anybody for help (I like it very much). I like also how it looks like. The blue lights which are on the top are subtle and they don't disturb during playing.
Till now I've just found only one thing I don't like - when you touch the body of ES920 your fingerprints stay on it and they are very visible. But this disadvantage doesn't have much influence on my very good opinion about this piano.
