The Responsive Hammer III (RHIII) action recreates the distinctive touch of an acoustic grand piano, with its realistic movement and accurate 3-sensor technology providing a smooth, natural, and highly responsive piano playing experience. The weight of the keyboard is appropriately graded to mirror the heavier bass hammers and lighter treble hammers of an acoustic piano, while structural reinforcements within the action assembly ensure greater stability during fortissimo and staccato passages.

Kawai's Ivory Touch key surfaces gently absorb finger moisture to assist the player's performance, while let-off simulation recreates the subtle "notch" sensation felt when softly playing the keys of a grand piano, satisfying the expectations of the most discerning pianists.

The ES920 digital piano captures the rich, expressive sound of the Shigeru Kawai SK-EX, SK-5, and EX grand pianos, with all 88 keys of these exceptional instruments meticulously recorded, analyzed, and faithfully reproduced using Harmonic Imaging XL sound technology.

The instrument's built-in Virtual Technician feature with 17 parameters allows various characteristics of these acoustic piano sounds to be shaped at the touch of a button, with settings to adjust string and damper resonance, in addition to subtle hammer, damper, and key release noises. This personalized piano sound is further enhanced with atmospheric reverberation effects, delivering a rich, vibrant piano tone with breathtaking realism and authenticity.
