With digital pianos getting better and better these days, will professional piano players, teachers, and technicians be able to tell them apart? Today we put it to the test with 4 of the best pianos out there. The Kawai CA79, Kawai K300, Kawai CA99, and the Kawai Novus 5. Do you think you can tell the difference?

Digital VS Acoustic Blindfold Challenge | Kawai CA79, Kawai K300, Kawai CA99, Kawai Novus 5
let me know what piano content you want to see next!
Piano brands, to avoid or worth saving up for
1.双人或以上的piano content
2.倒弹钢琴（就是在钢琴的背面🤦）
I can't join on discord🥺
you always make it out of my expectation,and you did it,never thought the piano playing would be interesting, well good luck, i'll never stop to support you
This is a great video! Just from first impression of hearing digital vs acoustic and seeing some of them make a mistake while being blind folded really says so much about today's digital pianos. I'm glad you did this. Great job Kawai for the Novus series!
Thanks great video. Greatly shows how far digital has improved it self almost feels like analog (especially the NV series).
Amazing stuff!
Really interesting, thank you so much for the idea and for posting. I think that all who automatically say "Nothing will ever replace an acoustic piano" might need to rethink. Please do another video in 10 years time!
Yeah but they're testing on uprights. Grand piano is the standard.
Lol nowadays they make digital sound and feel like the real acoustic 😅
yes, the electronic music instruments attempt to imitate the acoustic ones. That is the whole point!
isn't that the point?
Ohh, they're beautiful * - *
moral of the story: even experts can't tell the difference
A second test where pressing the sustain pedal is allowed (+some short piece of music) would be fascinating to watch. I can guess acoustical pianos will be unmatched: True resonance and much more powerful sound overall (compared to just playing a few notes like on this video).
for sure. But the only fact they missed a few tells how much they've come close
In the case of the NV5, at least, probably not.
@@Biozene Yup. Got an NV5S myself. It resonates just like a real piano does. I had an acoustic before but exchanged it because I wanted to play when the kids are asleep.
@@nomissimo Does it really? also for like heavy or experimental pieces? like can you build a sound? I'm kinda interested in a digital one for silent practice, the 200kg it weighs less is also a plus as the only way to get an acoustic up here is either crane or a lift which you have to build up to do one floor and then take the lift up and build it up again to do two more floors. But I'm still skeptical of the sound, will it start to get boring after a while, I fully support the things like soundboard technology and sampling and speaker points to get closer to the experience of an acoustic as that's indeed what's always been lacking in digital pianos the experience of sitting behind a big box full of strings with all the resonances and feeling those as you play.
I have one piano downstairs a high end upright and I can feel the placement from the wall in my keys, if I put it close to the wall I can feel unrest and clashing coming back through the piano.. if I slide it further from the wall I can feel the strings ring out when I press the key.. the real world is full of infinite nuances and interactions
Great video! Would be even better if an episode 2 with professionals wearing both blindfold and noise cancelling headset, as many people told me that the hand touch/feel between digital and acoustic are dramatically different. Wondering if that's true or just because my piano level is too low to tell😂
At the level of the Novus 5 which has both a full acoustic piano's mechanism and transducers on an actual soundboard, the sound should be the only way to tell it apart when blind.
The CA-79 and CA-99 only have a partial mechanism and the CA-79 doesn't have a soundboard, so the CA-79 at least should be easy to tell by hitting a few low notes and feeling for vibration.
The test should have been done with all pianos tuned to unequal temperament......it would have taken away the tuning side of things, they would have been less able to find slightly out of tune notes which was a big teller to some
A takeaway from this experience is that a good/high-end digital piano provides the identical keyboard actions as an acoustic piano, right?
Kawai does. Not sure about Yamaha to be honest . Yamaha too heavy and slow
@@mchannel100 Huh? Kawai known for being heavy and Yamaha for being light.
@@PassionPno The action for the two feels about the same lightness, but the "rebound" feels different. I practice on a Yamaha and take lessons on a Kawai. The Yamaha also gets louder much easier than the Kawai. The Kawai is easier to control at a lower dynamic range, but harder to voice.
I'll have to learn from scratch 🥺
Interesting...😉💙
Phew! Either that wallpaper has to go, or I do!
they should not be allowed to touch the piano, because the vibration feedback is different; just listening is better
Some digital now have a vibration added and it's subtle enough to feel real. The CA99 an Novus NV5 have a wooden sound board on the back, which naturally creates the vibration. So the vibration/resonance is real. That's how far they have come.
I guess I wasn't the first this time 🙂

Unfortunately Kawai’s digital pianos are very poorly made with many issues with their actions
Which ones are poorly made? I’m getting the cn201 soon is this good?
what a daft statement!
@@Ryv05 Never get a digital piano if you want to play well.
