Kawai F-351B Triple Pedal Board: Authentic Grand Pedal Experience

The Kawai F-351B triple pedal unit brings the expressive power of a concert grand piano to the ES120 digital piano. Precision damper, soft, and sostenuto pedal control are delivered, including half-pedaling for advanced techniques. Purpose-built to pair with the HML-2 stand, this model completes your digital piano setup for both rehearsal and on-stage use. Those looking for the nuanced feel of an acoustic instrument find the F-351B indispensable. The ES120 can respond with subtlety and dynamics reminiscent of Kawai’s acoustic grands thanks to this triple pedal board.

What sets the F-351B apart in its class

Unlike standard footswitches, this pedal board features a three-pedal layout inspired by the Shigeru Kawai SK-EX concert grand. Detailed dynamic shaping is enabled by half-pedaling—something rarely found in portable digital piano accessories. With integrated mounting on the HML-2 stand, stability and authentic playing posture are ensured.

Key Compatibility and Functional Parameters

Pianists who require acoustic realism from their digital instrument benefit from robust pedal configuration and connectivity. The F-351B works seamlessly with the ES120 and must be mounted to the HML-2 designer stand. Three traditional grand piano pedals are faithfully replicated, capturing every nuance digitally. The compact dimensions (126 × 19 × 9 cm) and 3 kg weight allow easy integration into any modern environment.

• Supported Models: Kawai ES120 — ensures perfect pedal recognition and mapping
• Pedals: Damper (sustain), soft, sostenuto — full grand-piano effect for classical and modern repertoire
• Players value the half-pedal support, which allows nuanced pedal response for advanced dynamics.
• Mounting: Requires HML-2 stand — fixed, stable pedal position just like a traditional piano
• Dimensions: 126 × 19 × 9 cm, Weight: 3 kg

Performance and Player Experience Enhancements

What stands out is its ability to reproduce authentic grand piano pedal response. Stability from a fixed pedal board and the option for half-pedal operation matter for expressive phrasing. When used with the ES120, both the pedal feel and sound samples mirror those from Kawai’s acoustic instruments for an immersive experience.

• Grand-Style Pedal Action: Modeled after SK-EX concert grands — for genuine acoustic technique transfer
• Stability: Secured to HML-2 — consistent positioning and reliability
• Daily use in home and teaching studios is supported by a lightweight yet robust construction.

Installation, Accessories, and Flexibility

Mounting to the HML-2 stand is required, resulting in a stable, simple system that accommodates a wide range of players. The F-351B is tailored for the ES120 and does not serve as a universal pedal for other digital pianos. Recommended accessories are the HML-2 stand and optional Kawai SH-9 headphones for silent practice. Its compact profile fits unobtrusively in any living room or teaching space.

• Assembly: Simple mounting process to HML-2
• Color Options: Black, White, Light Grey with silver pedals — visually matches your ES120 setup
• This model is compatible exclusively with the ES120 and HML-2 combination—always check compatibility before purchase.
