Product Review
When Covid came along I decided to use the extra time to learn piano. I didn't want to "lose" too much money if I didn't stick with it so I set a tiny budget of $250. Sadly, the Kawai ES110 was not on my list due to my ridiculously low budget. After over a year of springy rubber band like keys, more buttons that the space shuttle, & 61 keys of misery I decided that it was time to upgrade.
During all of my researh the Kawai name kept coming up. If I'm being honest, I had never heard of Kawai and was a bit skeptical. Wouldn't it be better to buy a brand that practically everyone has heard of; non-piano playing people included? Then again, that monstrosity that I just spent the last year playing was made by THAT brand.
I rolled the dice and bought the Kawai ES100 and couldn't be happier. I just wish I had bout it first! It's an sbsolute pleasure to play. The tone is truly authentic sounding. The action is phenomenal with a light and expressive touch. The body has a beautiful matte black finish. It even come with an actual damper pedal. Not one of those mouse trap looking ones, but an actual pedal. I only wish it had a USB port, but the Bluetooth MIDI works perfectly.
Overall, if you're a beginner or a semi experienced player this is the digital piano for you. You don't need light-up keys & buttons galore. Just a superb quality action and an authentic piano voice and you get that with the ES110. You could spend hundreds more and not get the sound & quality you get with this piano. This is an absolute bargin. Buy it now, before they realize that they underpriced it:)
BTW, American Musical Supply is the best! I purchased this on a Sunday and it arrived on Tuesday. That's service! Why would you buy from anyone else? The extra year of warranty is just icing on the cake. AMS & Kawai fan for sure!

I tested a lot of different digital pianos before settling on the ES110. I love the weight and feel of the keys under my fingers. It has midi and 1/4 inch jacks which is a huge bonus for me, since I can run different instruments through my laptop or connect directly to a sound system. The only thing this keyboard lacks is escapement but very few competitors have that feature at a reasonable price. Try it out if you can, it's a great experience.

For an under-$1000 digital stage piano, this Kawai offers very nice sound. The touch/feel is very good. I can hear and notice some deficiencies compared to the MP7 that I also have. But it’s hard to fault a 26.5 lb. instrument with built-in speakers for not quite measuring up to a much more expensive one. The sound is full across most of the range, but the lower end does lack the “oomph” that is expected. The 7W speakers offer sufficient volume to fill an intimate setting where there isn’t a lot of noise, but for anything else external amplifiers and speakers are necessary. It is nice that the internal speakers do not show distortion even when volume is pegged all the way up and I pound on the keys. It is a very compact unit (for 88-keys) so controls are limited and many require memorizing button + keyboard combinations. Fortunately the instrument offers saving of registrations for commonly used settings for easy recall.

I am still trying it out. I need more time. I am enjoying it so far. The keys are noisy I am trying to see if I can get used to it. This is the only issue so far. The keys feel and sounds realistic

Researched digital pianos for a year, settled on Kawai Es 100 then new model. With the new RHC. This is RHC 1 not the two and three as on upper models. Plays and sounds spectacular.. so many reviews dead on. A wonderful sound and feel piano. Remembers settings which many didn't .love the Bluetooth w the Virtual Tecnition app but wish there was app for es 110 to choose sounds,etc. Feels so like the real deal. The keys have a slight quick bounce when returning to top. Doesn't affect anything at my level ( 72 yrs old just starting but guitarist for over 60 years)) but reviewed plenty kawai Es 110 videos and nearly all have keys that bounce--every key not a few. Perhaps the RHC -New and only pursuant to Kawai is reason??. Also all keys click but do does my teachers 3000dollar Kurtzweil. Only I can hear. Again no real impact.. excellent features for settings, and plenty enough sounds. If you closely there is slight spacing issues but not like that one video. Lots. Outputs. MIDI Bluetooth
