TOUCH
The new class-leading Responsive Hammer III keyboard action on the ES8 re-creates the exceptional touch of an acoustic grand piano with its realistic movement and rigid "springless" design working together to provide a smooth, natural piano playing experience. A triple-sensor key detection system enhances responsiveness and accuracy.
UNIQUE SPEAKER SYSTEM

USB AUDIO & STORAGE
USB to Device and Host capabilities provide a world of opportunity, including recording and playing digital audio, storing songs, playing song files and connectivity to computers.
RECORDER
The ES8 offers an easy to use 10-Song / 2-Track built-in Recorder ideal for self-evaluation or capturing a moment of inspiration.
VIRTUAL TECHNICIAN
A skilled piano technician can personalize an acoustic piano's sound and touch response. Kawai's exclusive Virtual Technician does the same for the ES8 digital piano.

There are two headphone jacks on the ES8, allowing two persons to listen to the piano in privacy. The USB jack offers both USB to Device and USB to Host functionality. MIDI I/O jacks provide connection with other musical instruments and computers. There are also Line Out jacks plus a unique Stereo Line In jack.
PEDALS
Included with the instrument is the F10-H deluxe damper pedal with half-damper capability. The optional F20 dual pedal provides both a damper (with half-damper function) and soft pedal.
OPTIONAL DESIGNER STAND AND PEDAL LYRE
The optional designer stand attaches to the bottom of the ES8 to create an elegant look suitable for any décor. The separate optional pedal lyre assembly completes the look and adds three functioning pedals to the instrument.
