Kawai MP11SE Digital Piano | The Best Stage Piano?!
Vložit
- čas přidán 19. 10. 2020
- The Kawai MP11SE digital stage piano is a studio-grade solution and workhorse. The sounds are incredible, the feel of the Grand Feel keyboard is immensely pleasurable to play. The intuitive panel interface with independent sound sections and effects, and a wide selection of realistic electric pianos, think Fender Rhodes, and the renowned Shigeru Kawai SK-EX Concert Grand Piano make the MP11SE a great option for the serious piano player. A strong 4-channel MIDI master controller and a triple-pedal unit add to its list of impressive features.

Oh my .. this is the best demo of this lovely piano I've seen so far. Just so in love with this instrument! Mine is on it's way home ..!
The sound of this instrument is truly stunning in it's fullness, particularly the lower ranges retain awesome clarity of tone.
I must have one even if it means regular trips to the gym, so I can move it!
Great playing!!!! You really demonstrate the product well. I have the MP11SE and love it !!!! Without a doubt the best digital keyboard on the market today.
I am planning, to start saving for this keyboard. Love the sound quality of piano,etc.
Great demo! Kudos on being able to play on such a rickety platform. Is it just me, or does no one build a stable keyboard stand anymore? Someone needs to demo the MP11SE on a stand that doesn’t wobble. They’d sell oodles of them…
there are many kinds of stands lol. steady expensive ones and cheap x stands.
The king of stage pianos! You guys should have paired it up with a better stand though - this big boy is too heavy for a flimsy x-stand, and really needs something like a table stand to be 100% rock solid.
Exactly... thats what I got for it
🙌 we forgot the correct stand for are shoot day! You are correct.
I have the VPC-1 in my studio..... this is the exact keyboard with added electronics.
No, MP11SE has different key action mechanism
I got into playing for about a year or so.... bought myself a yamaha psr 363, to see if I like playing, and if keep liking it.... my girlfriend who can play piano very well, has a upright piano....after a while I made up my mind for something better the coming years.... a upright piano is too heavy, and I like more sounds with the same piano experience, as an acoustic one.....to make it short.... for someone who wants a piano like experience, and making progress for the coming years ,and doesnt wants to be limited with a cheaper keyboard.... go for it! .... its a great piano for at home to substitute an acoustic one....love my kawai mp11se
Love it!
Great demonstration. Which acústic piano have you used in the demo? Seems like EX Concert, or is it the SK? Thank you
Could you do a comparison between the MP7 SE and the MP11 SE ? Thanks!
For home use what speakers do you recommend?
It's a lovely machine. So on the weight side can one person lift it onto a stand from the floor? If that's possible do you know of any carry cases which fit it?
It would be nice if you showed on screen the sound name, especially for pianos. Also, for the piano sounds, were they at default settings, or did you configure?
Agreed, no help whatsoever without the names of the piano or settings info.
I've noticed a few of these videos and I've not seen any keyboard rocking around more than this one. Quite heavy, but I'm wondering if the stand is sitting well on the floor flat or if it's just way too heavy for any X stand. I have on-stage's heaviest X stand but I'm worried if it can even handle it. It looks like it might need a Z stand.
love my mp11SE but it is very heavy, you are right, you need a very sturdy stand, preferably on lockable wheels.
Has anyone succeeded in playing the keyboard with headphones plugged into the headphone Jack at the front lhs of the keyboard and not had the sound play into the room and disturb the neighbors? I’ve plugged in a headset and can hear no music through the headset but can hear the sound in the room. I’m desperate to play but don’t want to bother the neighbors. Any suggestions?
Does anyone have thoughts on choosing between the MP11SE and a comparable price-point digital like the CA-49/59? Main questions; is the old gen Grand Touch on the MP still preferable to the newer Grand Feel Compact on the CA 49/59? And is the sound quality here noticeably better than on the 49/59? I'm torn cause in the uprights it seems like you have to jump all the way up to the CA79 to improve touch/sound, which at $4000US is too much for me. I could swing the extra 500$ for the MP though if it's gonna give me a noticeable jump in feel and sound. I don't really care about the electric/stage piano features, as I'm going to be using this as an acoustic-replacement in my apartment
For a lot of pianists the mp11se remains the best kawai in terms of Key action At a certain level it is difficult to "do better" but rather just propose different actions which lead to different pianos. This is the case with the Yamaha 515 and the 525, the 525 is more recent but many prefer the Key action of the 51. So objectively if it only comes down to the action of the keys you just have to test by feeling because in all cases these are pianos that touch excellence. It's at the level of sound and functionality that things really change in terms of quality
76lbs = 35Kg! WOW!
I'm installing cedarwood sleepers into our garden as a border and each sleeper is 35Kg. So I can certainly get a feel just how heavy the MP11SE really is.
I suppose the weight is concentrated in a short length, compared to each of the long sleepers at 2.4m each and therefore easier to maul about compared to a stonking piece of lumber (wood).
So how is it different from the MP7se?
Can anyone recommend speakers for home use for the Kawai 11SE? Up to $400.
Is it still worth it to get it?
Ok, I officially want one for my home studio. How do I get one? They've been out of stock everywhere forever, and not expected to be back any time soon. For real guys, this money is burning a hole in my pocket.
We have some coming in next week - give us a call Monday and we’ll hook you up ;)
@@apianogallery sweet
Trigger pulled, piano in transit. If I'm not feeling too shy, I'll do an unboxing or something and give you guys a shoutout. Thanks for the hookup.
Thank you for the review, although it is significantly late. ) I hope that when the successor to this model is released next year, you won't have to wait a few years before reviewing it. ) By the way, for the very reason that the successor will be presented next year, I believe that today it is not too far-sighted to buy this model. Especially taking into account the well-known slip tape problem of GF-family keyboards. This issue is resolved in the new GFIII keyboard, which is likely to be used in the MP11SE successor.

And, as already noted here in the comments, it is quite painful to look at this model mounted on a squalid X-shaped stand. )

I really like the unique design of the MP11/SE. And it is really unique at least in that part of it that imitates the open lid of an acoustic grand piano behind the keys (the so-called "fallboard"). This design element is important not only from an aesthetic point of view, but also from a practical point of view, as it helps to maintain the correct technique, without letting your fingers go too deep behind the keys. This design element is absent even in most digital pianos in traditional cabinets, as they have various gaps in that area, including due to the hidden sliding keyboard lid. Therefore, there is no monolithic "wall" behind the keys. Hopefully Kawai will never give up on this design element at least in the MP series.

But I don't like Kawai's very weird approach to the color of the felt strip behind the keys. In the vast majority of acoustic grand pianos, including Kawai, this stripe is red. But for some reason, Kawai uses an unpresentable dark gray color in its stage, portable, and most pianos in traditional cabinets for this stripe. Ugh! Even NV10 has this abomination. But in the VPC1 this strip is red, which looks very nice and familiar. So what's the problem with the other models? Or do they have a new mediocre designer who doesn't know what acoustic grand pianos look like? And Roland and Yamaha are right in this matter, using red felt strip.
Do you have any evidence a new model will be released next year? Apart from the fact that it’s been a while, I can’t find any references to a new model even being rumored to come out.
@@PipeDreamerJacques Only assumptions and observations. But you can also look here to understand my thoughts in more detail.

Mp11se vs vpc1?
Is the action and sound comparable to the ca79? So like a C79 but without the speakers?
Kawai CA 79 much better Piano than Mp 11se..Excellent Sound New Sound Engine/ Top Action/ Lcd display/ Great Sound System & 6 Speakers by Onkyo ..Hope this helps!!
@@rrjjgg101 Do you own it?
@@rickw7523 I own CA 78 for 3 years now & it's very good Piano...CA 78 better Piano ( Action & Sound Engine/ 6 Speaker System by Onkyo all best ) Vs Mp11Se...
CA 79 is upgrade version (So you can say It's better). I Prefere Action Gf ॥ of CA 78 ..
Both Piano Sounds almost similar on headphone but on Speaker some may feel CA 79 better IMHO....Sound & Touch is always Personal Choice.. I am happy with my CA 78..👍 Hope this helps..STAY SAFE🙏
How much are you selling it for? I really want it for my church...it’s just out my budget right now😞
76lbs pounds is heavy. It almost makes it a home only piano. In that respect, is lighter than buying a digital piano that comes with a full body that would normally stay at home?
There are many people who prefer slab formfactor (stage or portable) even at home. Even if it doesn't need to be moved anywhere. And while the MP11SE is the heaviest stage piano, it is still significantly lighter than most digital pianos in a traditional body.
It won't wobble around... unless you put it on the spindliest stand in the store
great video -- but choose a better stand next time ... LOL
I guess the stage pianos don't have their owns speakers?
How about the Kawai Vpc1???
VPC1 is not a stage piano, it is just a MIDI-controller.
@@Oleg__ So... I don't quite understand why would that preclude it from being used as a stage piano? What am I missing here?
@@michebre But do you know what a MIDI controller is? Because those who know this usually do not have such a question. Using a MIDI controller assumes a different usage scenario, a different environment. More questions about reliability arise as more links appear in the chain, etc. I practically don't know a single famous musician who would use a "naked" MIDI controller on stage. And at home, not every user wants to connect a suitable computer, install VST, DAW, etc. on it, buy an audio interface, cables, be able to configure it all with hardware and software, etc. Therefore, there are separate categories: stage pianos and MIDI controllers. I once considered the idea with VPC1, but then I abandoned it, because I realized that I do not like this concept, I prefer stage pianos.
@@Oleg__ Yes I know what a midi controller is, I play one. Thanks.
@@Oleg__ Billy Joel used to use a Kawai VPC1 (czcams.com/video/8UoV4GKqa3k/video.html). I don't know if he still does. The VPC1 is pretty old, and there has been speculation for a while on piano forums that there's going to be a new version sometime soon, so maybe that is the reason you don't see as many new VPC1 reviews these days.
Definately the heaviest stage piano,lol.
Man I had a a crazy as time trying to put that on a stand by myself lol
I think his sound was too loud.
Unfortunately, I have to say, out of all the piano review channels i watch, i find yours the most boring. Its stiff and bland presentation usually makes me skip your channel 99 per cent of the time. However I was interested in hearing the sounds of the piano on the mp11se. Then what did you do? You didn't list which piano sounds you were even using! Sk or ex? What an epic fail. Moving onto another channel where they list, or at least say which sound they are using. You really need to up your game at presenting to make it fun and more immersive. 👍
