I bought the CN29 from Bonners a few months ago and I couldn't be happier. Feels great, sounds great and I'm now improving a lot more. Such a big difference from my previous P105
I never touched a piano and just bought the KDP-120 to learn how to play. If I ever get too good for it (which I suspect won't happen) I will upgrade. No matter what digital piano you get, there will always be something else better, newer, incorporating more functions, better styling etc. I should've stopped myself at the P-45, but consumerism has gotten the better of me. My point is that there is something for everybody, you just need to know exactly what you need.
Hey there, you are just the person I need to speak to I think. Im just about to get a digital piano for my daughter (and me if Im being honest) to begin playing on. As with all instruments there are a bewildering amount of options out there. I saw you mentioned the P-45. Was looking at something like that or the P-125. In short would you say either of those are more than adequate for beginning piano? If so, I think I will just go with one of those. Your input/advice will be much appreciated.
@@DevRSVR Hi! I do not regret buying the KDP-120; it's white and it looks and feels great. I like the sound, the feeling of the keys, the build quality and the options it has are more than enough for a beginner like me. However, I have no need for portability; if I had, I would've bought the P-125 with no regret, I'm sure. Hope it helps!
@@DevRSVR I bought an ES110 2 years ago and now I'm considering to upgrade to a KDP120. The fact that the ES120 doesn't have a lid is such a pain in the ass and the speakers are just not good enough. So chances are the entry level product might meet most of your needs but the few missing points would still make you want to upgrade it.
this is the way to sell pianos. Great presentation Tony, great information and comparisons. My son is coming to your MK showroom next week thursday 10th march, and will be looking at these two models.........maybe a discount is possible eh eh......
i have not much experience with pianos and technical stuff - but i believe that in the below 1000€ range, many pianos tend to sound somewhat cutoff or sharp in a digital way, whenever you play without any or little usage of the sustainpedals. And suddenly many models beyond 1000€ have that stepup in certain piano pieces or passages of pieces, that the cuttoff-feeling when listening goes away. After some comparisons i noticed, that many manufactors introduce string resonance around that pricetag. However i have the impression that replicating satisfying pianosound is like a huge puzzle game. It might noth be just the string resonance, a better soundchip and speakersystem contributes aswell. Little pieces that get put together....but its interessting even with cheap 20€ headphones, i can hear the differences - or at least i have the impression and try to find the reasons for that.
I recently played both. I did not like the KDP120, it has a very dull sound and feel, action is ok. The CN29 has a more vibrant sound and the action is amazing, closer to an acoustic piano. I ordered the CN29.
@@rmcaudio7041 Hola, tengo el CN 29 y suena muy bueno, entiendo el comentario que dice que suena muy hifi, este piano tiene mejoras del sonido elegibles, que hace que suene muy nítido. No me arrepiento de esta elección.
@@eliasrodriguez5085 si el sonido del C29 es mejor que el del 120. Yo toqué los dos hace unos días. Y sin duda el CN29 toca mejor y se siente mejor en los dedos.
@@rmcaudio7041 been playing for 2 decades too and I hated the KDP120, a very dull sound to my ears, and action is ok. The CN29 has a more vibrant sound and the action is amazing, closer to an acoustic piano.
Great video, but honestly the sound comparison is worthless. The piece it too long (you should make shorter passages and alternate) and is that direct line-out? Sounds more like speakers and your microphone position is different, so... or maybe I am just deaf and other people found this useful. Anyway, thanks a lot for the presentation!
I literally searched for a comparison of these two bords 20 minutes ago and found nothing, now I see this upload from 18 minutes ago, thank you!

@@jobyEN brilliant thanks. Sounds like I will go for the P-125. We’re a bit tight on space at the moment. Thanks again!

I would go with the CN29 if they were closer in price. The CN29 is $800 more here.
Excellent review!👍
I used to play that song, Ice Castle movie sound track love it! 🙂❤
Great presentation Tony as usual - all best Jon Bickle.
Bought CN201. Best piano action feel.

great video, thank you
Merci, d'avoir pris le temps sur les caractéristiques des deux pianos.
Thank you so much! In the description you wrote ca29 instead ofcn29 though!
Compared these two model, I bought the KDP120 for the feel and the sound. CN29 sounds too hifi to me. Been playing for three decades.
Interesting comment. Could you please elaborate a bit further? Am in the buying process and could use the information. Thanks a lot.

When you press any key do you hear the sound of like hitting the keyboard with something?

What song is this?
Ice Castles
Does kawai cn 29 has wooden keys?
No. It's twin CA 49 has wooden keys + an additional pair of speakers
No Android app for cn29 ;/
Really?
Does CN29 have rhythms on it? If yes, how many ?
No, it doesn't have rhythms. It's a piano, not a keyboard
@@argi0774existem vários pianos digitais com ritmos, até alguns Clavinova vem com ritmos
