Product Review: Thoughts on the CA901 digital piano by pianist Ryoma Takagi | Kawai Topics | Kawai Musical Instruments Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
When I played the CA901 for the first time, I was pleasantly surprised and thought, "Can such a sound really come from a digital piano?" Although it's a digital piano, there is a part of it that reminds me of the resonance of the Shigeru Kawai SK-EX concert grand piano, which I have frequently ...

Kawai Digital Pianos - REVIEW | 16 models 2026 | CA701 & CA901
2 weeks ago - The newer CA701 and CA901 key action and piano sound engine are arguably the best there is in their respective price ranges,, although the Casio Grand Hybrid models (GP-310 & GP-510) definitely give the Kawai models a “run for the money” ...
Kawai CA 901
I purchased the Kawai CA 901 in Rosewood over Memorial Day Weekend from Kraft Music in Wisconsin. I've always played on acoustic pianos, but have been needing a digital/hybrid-esque upright pano for my at home music studio/practice space, and was pining over this Kawai model for a year. There was an amazing deal because of Memorial Day holiday and I was lucky enough to get $1000 off, free shipping and 18 month financing 0 percent interest. So completely worth it, the instrument plays so beautifully. I haven't even explored all of the instrument tone options yet as I spend most of my time in the main Kawai models, which sound just beautiful. More on reddit.com

Kawai CA-701 - Two keys wider than all others. Hi all Since last December I am a proud owner of a Kawai CA-701 too. It is my second digital piano after a Roland FP-7. The two instruments are absolutely not compareable and I'm very happy with my new 701 except one issue I had and, fortunate... More on forums.pianoworld.com
Kawai CA-901 has arrived! Really happy so far.
Finally received my new piano this morning. Upgrading from a Yamaha P515 which I have been using for my weekly piano lessons for a few years now. The improvement in the action is extremely noticeable (as it should be due to the price difference). But i’m shocked at how much more comfortable it is to play than the 515, which I always felt was heavier than normal. I still consider myself a beginner, it’s a long journey, but i’ve heard other professional pianist share the same opinion of the 515 when it comes to static weight. In any case, couldn’t be happier with the purchase. I’m really excited to continue my lessons with it. More on reddit.com

January 6, 2023Thinking of getting CA901
I have a CA98, which is the equivalent of the current CA901 and is about 5 years old. From my extensive data point of this single piano I can report zero problems to date. It feels as good as the day I bought it. My piano sits about 5cm from the wall. There is a setting to set it as close to a wall, that adjusts the sound but it doesn't make too much difference to my ears. I also don't have the equivalent CA78 in the room to compare. All I can say is that it still sounds fantastic, better than any other digital piano I have played. In my opinion there is no better digital piano available - until you get to hybrid digital/acoustics that cost a lot more. You won't be disappointed with a CA901. More on reddit.com

February 13, 2024 -
I just got a CA901 from Alamo Music center in San Antonio.
First off, this sucker is heavy lol. I wasn't expecting that. My wife and I got it moved ok but had to take a couple of breaks carrying it.
Secondly, I'm extremely impressed with it so far. I am upgrading from a Korg LP 380. While I absolutely love the korg it was time for an upgrade. The number of voices and customizations is staggering. It's going to take some time to get used to.
If you ever need an instrument alamo treated us well and shipped it to our house which is one state over. We worked with Patrick but I bet all of them are helpful. We paid around 5200 for it which is what I saw someone say they got it for on a piano forum prices paid thread.

Kawai CA901 | The Digital Piano You Need to Experience
Pair this with the fact that the sound engines are essentially the same, and it becomes apparent that the CA901 is really delivering for the price point, and certainly carves out a very specific place among Kawai’s broader digital piano hierarchy.

December 2, 2024 -
I've been looking to replace my native kontrol s88 mk1. Partly because the keybed makes a lot of noise, partly because native instruments ceased to support it and partly because the action is not that great compared to grands I have access to (Kawai at my teacher, yamaha disklavier at a friend).
So I've been looking at different digital pianos. After testing, the best I found in term of both feeling and sound is the Kawai CA701 and CA901. There's only about 700 euros difference where I am between both so I'm leaning towards the CA901. I do have a few questions:
I won't be able to have a big gap from the wall. It'll be around 5-10cm maximum. I know that this will impact the soundboard but I'm wondering how much. I read that Kawai says 3.5 cm minium is needed with Wall EQ. I just want to confirm if a CA901 that's 5 or 10cm from the wall will sound much better than the CA701
I plan to also use VSTs and output the sound back to the speakers. I've read that using usb midi with audio sent to the line causes ground loop. Any effective way to mitigate that?
I live in a place with a very humid climate sometimes reaching 85-90% inside the house. Will that be problematic for the instrument?
It seems that where I live (HK) the warranty is only 3 years compared to 5 years in other countries. How often do problem appear between year 3 and year 5?

1 week ago - If you have always wanted a real acoustic piano with a premium high definition key action and you like the digital features of the Kawai CA901 including the special spruce-wood soundboard in the back of the piano (just like real upright pianos have), then with the new Novus NV5S you get that and more in a compact polished ebony cabinet at only 18″ depth from the wall.

May 11, 2023 - Both the CA701 and CA901 share much of the same technology under the lid, with the main differences to be found in the cabinet design and the speaker system. This means that the piano voices and general functional capabilities are almost identical. When played using headphones both models will give a very similar performance. ... The Kawai CA701 and CA901 are both built around Kawai’s highly acclaimed ‘Grand Feel III’ keyboard action, with all 88 keys of the keyboard crafted from long pieces of wood.
