Kawai MP-7 SE

I bought the piano in October 2018 and after 2 years 4 keys have problems: they sound loud no matter how soft i press them, this doesn't happen with the other keys (yet). The keys with problems are not in the same place, they are scattered over 3 octaves.
This is a shame since the piano is really well designed, sounds are very customisable, interface very intuitive and piano, drawbar, organs etc sound really good.
I don't use the piano professionally so I find it unacceptable for a DP to have problems after only 2 years of home practice.
It's still under warranty, thanks to Thomann's 3 years warranty policy but I have to send it in for service and it can take up to 6 weeks to get it back fixed during which time I cannot use my piano..
Hope Kawai will fix this for the MP7SE and other DPs they sell otherwise customers (me included) will surely move to other more reliable brands

2024 Update - After fixing the piano under warranty (rubber contacts replaced) the piano has had no issues since.

Hope it will stay like that!

I have played many types of keyboards but found them lacking in touch and quality of sound.

I thought I would purchase this Stage Piano for our church because of its first class looks which is sleek and most importantly its ease of functionality and work class sounds. I knew that the pianos would sound pristine but the additional sounds such as the EPs and Organs where not just acceptable but actually good quality and useable.

Quite simply put... It has been a joy to play and has inspired me to further imprint playing techniques without fatigue. My focus is no longer about how true the sounds are. Instead, my focus is on my enjoyment in playing the piano.

It is well worth the money paid for and a very well hidden contender that truly outshines the more expensive alternatives with all their bells and whistles. Simply beautiful!

I have had this for nearly 3 years now and still love it for its quality piano and general versatility in the studio. Very satisfying keyboard feel and action. Surprised how wonderful this piano sounded when I recorded somebody else playing it! Many of the other sounds are nice and usable too, and the tone wheel organ mode gives more real time control of drawbars etc, than most except for dedicated organs. Besides piano, it can be used in a variety of ways, including master keyboard, composer workstation, midi tone generator, etc. The user interface and tiny LCD screen is overloaded with features and there is a lot of complexity buried in the manual. It feels sturdy but I would think more at home in the studio than on the road. Nice pedal and music stand included. Small but essential feature for me is the built in power supply.
