Distinctive touch
The KDP120’s Responsive Hammer Compact II (RHCII) keyboard action, now with improved cushioning to further reduce key noise, has been developed to represent the distinctive touch of an acoustic grand piano.

The Grand Feel Pedal System accurately replicates the position and individual weighting of the damper, soft, and sostenuto pedals of a Shigeru Kawai SK-EX concert grand piano to further enhance the KDP120’s acoustic piano-like authenticity.
Piano remote app
The KDP120’s redesigned communication standard allows players to control the instrument’s features and operations via the dedicated PianoRemote app for iOS and supported Android devices. The app connects to the piano wirelessly via the KDP120’s integrated Bluetooth, providing an effortless way to change sounds, or enjoy the vast array of built-in music content from the comfort of an armchair.
Superior headphone experience
The KDP120’s Spatial Headphone Sound (SHS) technology enhances the depth and realism of the instrument’s sound when listening through headphones or earphones. In addition, the KDP120 also allows players to select a variety of headphone types (Open, Semi-open, Closed, In-Ear, Canal, etc.) for an optimised listening experience.
