CL Series
CL26 / CL36
C L 26 — U LT R A CO M PAC T
The Compact Line range of instruments provide an excellent introduction to Kawai digital pianos, featuring an authentic weighted keyboard action, reputable 88-key piano sampling technology, and a modern, slimline cabinet design. The modest functionality of the CL26 is ideally suited to students wishing to practice in their own bedroom, or pianists that require a compact instrument without wishing to forgo realism and authenticity. It offers an uncomplicated, yet highly enjoyable piano playing experience at a very attractive price.
MODERN CL A SSIC — CL 36
The intermediate CL36 model delivers the same functionality and compact footprint as the CL26, while offering a number of enhanced features. In addition to the larger selection of high quality instrument sounds, the CL36 employs Progressive Harmonic Imaging sound technology and damper pedal effects that further enhance tonal authenticity. This stylish model also utilises Kawai’s latest Responsive Hammer keyboard action with Ivory Touch key surfaces that absorb moisture and aid control. The built-in lesson functions and Four Hands mode allows two budding pianists to enjoy practicing the piano in pairs, making the CL36 ideally suited to young families wishing to encourage musical expression within the home.
AUTHENTIC TOUCH
Kawai digital pianos enjoy a favourable reputation for their reliable keyboard actions, as well as their uncanny ability to recreate the distinctive touch of an acoustic grand piano. The CL26’s Advanced Hammer Action IV keyboard is no exception, featuring grade-weighted hammers and an innovative springless design for a smooth, natural playing experience. The new Responsive Hammer action utilised by the CL36 further enhances the keyboard’s structural rigidity, while adding finely textured Ivory Touch key surfaces to gently absorb moisture and assist playing control.
EXCEPTIONAL TONE
The CL26 and CL36 reproduce the beautiful sound of Kawai’s world-renowned EX concert grand piano, with 88-key piano sampling techniques preserving the rich harmonic character of this prestigious, hand-crafted instrument in its absolute glory. From this thorough acoustic portrait, the CL26 employs Kawai’s highly acclaimed Harmonic Imaging sound technology to faithfully recreate the broad dynamic range of the original grand piano. The intermediate CL36, meanwhile, adopts the superior Progressive Harmonic Imaging standard, allowing more accomplished pianists to play with greater feeling and emotion.
SLIMLINE DESIGN
With elegant curves and graceful simplicity, the stylish CL26 and CL36 represent two modern classics from Kawai’s award winning design group. With a depth of just over 26 cm and 29 cm respectively, these ultra-compact digital pianos occupy a minimal amount of floor space, and are tailor-made for today’s urban living environments. Available in distinguished, traditional Rosewood, or sleek, sophisticated Satin Black and Satin White cabinet finishes, the versatile CL instruments blend effortlessly with surrounding interior, brightening dusky rooms with vibrant musical colour.
BUILT-IN LESSONS
The convenient lesson function integrated within the CL36 allows aspiring pianists to study classical piano using a collection of Burgmüller and Czerny etudes, or learn time-honoured standards from the popular Alfred’s Basic Piano course books*. The left and right hand parts of each etude or song can be practiced separately, adjusting the tempo to perfect difficult passages, before being recorded and played back for self-evaluation.
*USA, Canada, Australia, and UK only.
