Learn to play...the KAWAI WAY.
A Brief Look at the Past and Present
The first pipe organs were invented over two thousand years ago. Most organs of today have two keyboards but until around 400 years ago all organs had only one manual. As the organ grew in versatility, it also grew in size, weight and cost. As a matter of fact, by the end of the 19th century some organs had as many as six or seven keyboards. For a long period of time only the extremely wealthy could afford the cost and provide the necessary space for a fine organ.
Thanks to modern science, the problems of cost, weight, and space have been eliminated. Your new KAWAI is a completely transistorized and integrated solid-state instrument that makes use of the most advanced technological features of space age circuitry.
How to Care for your Kawai Organ
Here are some general rules to follow:
1) Always plug your KAWAI into a standard Volt AC line. Plugging into a DC outlet could cause damage.
2) To remove any greasiness from the cabinetry, keys, or pedals, use a damp cloth and a little mild soap. Be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.
3) When using wax from spray-on containers, be sure to spray the dust cloth. Wax which is sprayed directly on the keys or tabs could eventually cause sluggish action.
4) Do not expose your KAWAI to direct sunlight, cold drafts or radiator heat.
MODEL E 300
The Keyboards and Pedals
Your KAWAI ORGAN has two keyboards (which are also called manuals) each consisting of 49 keys. Generally, you'll play the melody of a song with your right hand on upper manual, and the accompaniment or background part with your left hand on the lower manual. In addition, your left foot is used to play the 13 pedals (pedalboard) which are located at the base of your organ. These pedals add the beautiful deep tones that will give your playing a lush professional fullness. The pedal's role in organ music is similar to that of a bass violin in an orchestra.
Expression Pedal
On your KAWAI the volume is controlled by the Expression Pedal. This pedal is found next to the pedalboard and is controlled with the right foot. Pressing the Expression Pedal forward with your toe will increase the volume. Pressing the Expression Pedal back with your heel will decrease the volume.
Stop Tabs
The "stops" or "stop tabs" on your KAWAI can be divided into two general groups: the "voice" or "speaking" tabs that produce the actual organ voices; and the "mechanical" or "non-speaking" tabs that produce no sound of their own but directly affect the sound of the speaking stops.
Hundreds of different effects are possible by a careful selection of voice and mechanical tabs. The art of utilizing these stops to obtain certain sounds and effects is called registration.
The Four Families of Tone
All traditional organ voices can be grouped into four basic families of tone. These are Diapason, Flute, String and Reed. The tabs on your KAWAI have been color coded to help you to find these families of tone easily. For example, the white tabs represent the Diapason and Flute tones, the red tabs indicate the Reeds, and the yellow tabs identify the Strings.
The Flute voices have a very mellow tone which is smooth and easy to listen to. The Reed family has great variety of sound. Some reeds have a very biting sharp sound while others are extremely mellow and rich. The Reeds are generally very good as solo voices.
The Strings add all the beautiful, lush vibrant, qualities to your KAWAI that a string section adds to an orchestra. The tonal range is extremely large encompassing the range of the string bass, cello, viola, and violin.
The Diapason is the family of tone which is most commonly associated with the traditional cathedral pipe organ sound. Not imitative of any orchestral sound, the Diapason serves as a foundation on which to build a multitude of great organ voices.
Footage
By now you've probably noticed that there's a number after the name of each tab. Don't be confused by the markings 16, 8, 4 and 2% . These merely indicate the length of the pipe necessary to create that sound on a pipe organ. For example, a tab marked Flute 8 simply means that a pipe 8 feet long would be necessary to produce that particular sound on a pipe organ.
To demonstrate the tonal range and richness of sound available on your KAWAI, let's try the following experiment. First, play middle C using only the Flute 8. Listen carefully to the sound, and then turn off the Flute 8 and substitute the Flute 16. Notice that the sound becomes an entire octave lower. Try the same procedure using the Flute 4 and the pitch will become an octave higher.
After playing each of the Flutes alone, press them all at once. Each time you press a single key on the keyboard, you'll be producing three tones each an octave apart. Play four notes together and you'll actually be hearing twelve tones.
Many solo voices, particularly those in the Reed and String families, have just one footage because the range of pitch plays a most important role. These tabs are principally used to create special effects and to augment the total sound of your KAWAI.
Mechanical Controls
(NON-SPEAKING CONTROLS)
The following is a list of mechanical or non-speaking controls which are found on your KAWAI ORGAN. These controls produce no sound of their own but affect the tone of the speaking voice tabs. The purpose, or effect of each stop is listed along with suggestions for its use.
PEDAL VOLUME
When using dainty and light solo registrations, it is often necessary to cut down the volume of the heavy pedal tones. Conversely, ensemble registrations require the use of a deep and full pedal sound. This feature allows you to select the proper amount of pedal volume for each type of set-up.
PEDAL SUSTAIN
This tab causes the sound of the pedals to linger and then gradually fade away. Useful in practically all types of music, it sustains each pedal tone about one second and makes your playing sound smoother.
REVERB
Reverberation, often called "echo", is the sound that reaches your ear after bouncing off the floor, ceiling and walls. If you've ever walked in a large empty room, you've heard the reverberation of your footsteps. However, in most furnished rooms most of the natural reverberation is soaked up. Because a certain amount of reverb is desirable in music, your KAWAI has an electronic unit which replaces the reverb lost in a furnished room. The degree of its use is a matter of individual preference.
KNEE LEVER (Sustainer)
The Knee Lever is located under the middle of the lower keyboard and folds horizontally. This lever controls the sustain effect of the Upper Manual Keyboard. To use this lever, pull down and merely swing your knee to the right. This will turn on the sustain effect even if the sustain Tab is off.
VIBRATO
The Vibrato adds a wavering or pulsating effect to music which closely resembles the sound of the human voice and the orchestral string section. Your KAWAI features three different Vibrato effects.
With the tab marked VIBRATO in the ON position, the pulsating effect will be slow. The slow Vibrato is generally used with solo voices. With the tab marked VIBRATO FAST in the ON position, the pulsating effect will be fast. The fast Vibrato is generally used with ensemble registrations or to create the Theatre Organ effect. When the tab marked DELAY VIBRATO is in the ON position, the Vibrato will begin about one second after a key has been struck. This unique feature makes it possible to create the exact playing techniques of various orchestral instruments and is particularly effective when used to simulate string sounds (violin, cello etc).
TREMOLO
The Tremolo is a vibrato-like effect. It is produced by a rotating baffle which whirls the sound waves of a fixed speaker. The tremolo on your KAWAI operates in three different ways. When you press the tab marked TREMOLO, it will operate at a fast speed. This type of Tremolo is generally used for ensemble registrations. When you press the tab marked CHORUS, the tremolo will operate at a slow speed. This type of tremolo is most frequently used for church music. When you press the tab marked ENSEMBLE, the String voice, Reed voice, and lower manual voice become activated through the Leslie speaker.
LOWER MANUAL DIAL
The LOWER MANUAL VOLUME dial controls the volume of the lower keyboard. Turn the dial to the RIGHT for more volume, to the LEFT for less volume. Under normal playing conditions, the upper keyboard should be a little louder than the lower keyboard.
The TOTAL VOLUME dial controls the maximum volume for the entire organ (both keyboards and pedals).
UPPER SUSTAIN
Your KAWAI is equipped with a SUSTAIN tab for the upper manual. When it is activated, it causes the sound of the selected voices to linger and then gradually fade away.
SUSTAIN TIME
The dial marked SUSTAIN TIME makes it possible for you to control the amount of upper manual Sustain. Turn the dial to the RIGHT, and you'll get a longer Sustain; turn the dial to the LEFT, and you'll get a shorter Sustain. The longer sustain should be used with songs that are played at a relatively slow tempo, or for special effects. The shorter sustain is very effective for practically all other types of music. Using sustain adds a smoothness and continuity to your playing that would generally require years of intensive practice.
Upper Percussion Voices
The Upper Percussion voices are the green and yellow tabs located immediately under the REPEAT RATE dial. These pre-set voice tabs, which are used to produce many of the popular effects used by most organists, can be used alone or to augment other organ voices on the upper manual.
NOTE: When the black tab marked ORGAN SILENT is pressed down, the upper manual speaking voices are automatically cancelled, and you'll hear just the percussion voices.
PIANO
The pre-set Piano tab has an extremely authentic sound. Short sustain has been automatically included to simulate the "decay" sound of the piano. When playing a song using this setting, the best results are obtained by using a short, crisp "staccato" touch.
HARPSICHORD
The harpsichord stop is another example of a beautifully engineered sound. With exactly the right amount of sustain, this voice is a faithful reproduction of the popular 18th century musical instrument.
MANDOLIN
The Mandolin is an upper solo percussion voice. When you push this tab, the notes you play on the upper manual will repeat. The Repeat Rate dial (located above the Mandolin tab) controls the rate of speed at which these notes repeat. This voicing has a moderately rapid "decay" which perfectly imitates the delicate picking sound of the Mandolin.
BANJO
A mere touch of this tab will give you a strummin' Banjo effect on the upper manual. To assure the best sound possible, set the Repeat Rate dial (located above the Banjo tab) at a tempo which best fits the mood of the song you're playing.
MARIMBA
The Marimba is an upper manual solo percussion voice. When you push this tab, the notes you play on the upper manual will repeat, giving you a perfect imitation of the Marimba. The Repeat Rate dial (located above the Marimba tab) controls the rate of speed at which these notes repeat.
Independent Speaking Voices
TIBIA 16
The tone color is the same as the Tibia 8. However, this stop is one entire octave lower than the 8 pitch.
STRING 16
This is a mellow orchestral accompaniment voice which may also be used as a counter-melody accent for reinforcing ensemble combinations.
MAJOR FLUTE 8
Major Flute 8 is a very lush and mellow bass tone which adds a solid foundation to your playing.
BOURDON 16
A bass flute voice, the Bourdon 16 produces a tone one octave lower than the Major Flute 8.
STRING BASS
String Bass is an exact imitation of the sound of the electric guitar bass. This bass sound is extremely popular in the contemporary music of today.
DIAPASON 8
Diapason 8 is one of the most important stops on your organ for it serves as a foundation on which to build many great ensemble combinations.
TIBIA 8
The Tibia 8 is a popular, clear toned solo voice which is relatively free of harmonics.
OBOE 8
This is an excellent solo voice, closely resembling the plaintive voice of the orchestral oboe.
HORN 8
The Horn 8 has a beautifully breathy quality which is most effective when used in the formation of good orchestral blends.
WOW TRUMPET
The Wow Trumpet authentically reproduces the muted trumpet sound made famous by Clyde McCoy and Henry Busse. The Wow Trumpet works well by itself but is equally effective when used with other speaking voices on your KAWAI. The Wow speed dial (located above the Wow Trumpet tab) controls the rate of speed which best fits the mood of the song you're playing.
STRING 8
The String 8 is basically a solo voice, but it may be used in combinations to
create beautiful ensemble sounds. It is particularly effective when used to contrast various flute combinations.
CLARINET 8
The Clarinet 8 is a very mellow tone which has a quiet, pleasing quality.
STRING 4
The String 4 is one octave higher in pitch than the String 8.
TIBIA 4
The Tibia 4 is one octave higher in pitch than the Tibia 8.
TIBIA 2-2/3
This fractional voice creates a tonal pitch other than the tone or note you are playing. Therefore, it should always be used with other voices to add tonal color.

Autorhythm
TONE
VOLUME
TEMPO
FLASHING RED LIGHT
The KAWAI AUTORHYTHM is an exciting rhythm device which will provide authentic percussion instrument background to your playing. All you do is push the tab marked RHYTHMER. This tab is located to the left of the lower manual. Then push one of the many rhythm buttons (marked SAMBA, MAMBO etc.), and you'll have a complete percussion section for any song you select.
There are 5 controls which play an integral part in the operation of Autorhythm.
TONE — This knob controls the timbre (treble and bass sounds) of the percussion section. Turn it to the right, and the emphasis will be on the treble percussion sounds (like brushes and cymbals); turn it to the left, and the emphasis will be on the bass percussion sounds (like bass drum).
RHYTHMER VOLUME — This knob controls the volume of the rhythm section.
TEMPO — This knob is used to control the speed of the rhythm section. Find a tempo which is appropriate for the song and is comfortable for you.
FLASHING RED LIGHT — The flashing red light shows the downbeat or first beat of each rhythm pattern. To play a song, simply watch the light and start to play when it flashes.
BREAK — When the tab marked BREAK is in the ON position, the rhythm will start only when you touch a key on the lower manual or when you play a bass pedal.
TO STOP THE AUTORHYTHM UNIT:
- Push the tab marked RHYTHMER to the OFF position ... or
- Use the switch located on the left side of the expression pedal. To use this foot switch, merely swing your foot to the left. This will automatically disengage the AUTORHYTHM unit.
The Kawai Electro-Chord®
With the fantastic KAWAI ELECTRO-CHORD, you don't even have to lift your hand off the keyboard to create fantastic rhythm patterns. That's right! To play a fully automatic rhythm pattern, just push the tab marked ELECTRO-CHORD (located to the left of the lower manual). Then, when you push a rhythm button and play a chord on the lower manual, the organ does the rest. As an example, let's try the Beguine rhythm.

The Cassette Recorder
If your KAWAI is equipped with a CASSETTE RECORDER, it will soon become an integral part of your musical enjoyment. The following instructions will help acquaint you with its operation.
TO PLAY
To play a tape, simply snap the cassette tape into the machine and push the button marked PLAY.
TO RECORD
To record, push and hold the button (marked RECORD) and at the same time push the Play button (marked ▶). With these two buttons pushed in, you are now ready to record your playing. No microphone is necessary.
TO STOP
Whether you're in the process of recording, playing or rewinding a tape, whenever you want the tape stopped, push the button marked STOP. Your cassette has a special clutch which prevents the tape from unwinding when you've reached the end of a cassette. However, it is still advisable to push the STOP button at that point to prevent excessive stress on the recorder that could cause trouble after an extended period of time.
TO REWIND
To rewind the cassette, press the button marked REW/REVIEW. When it's been rewound to the place where the recording was started or to where you'd like the tape stopped, push the STOP button.
MEMORY
Your KAWAI Cassette machine is equipped with a special feature called MEMORY. Here's an example of how it works. Let's say that you'd like to practice a song along with an orchestra on tape. At the beginning of the song, push the MEMORY ON/OFF switch to the ON position. After you're finished playing the song and you'd like to try it again, push the REWIND (REW/REVIEW) button. The tape will now automatically return to the beginning of the song, and stop.
With the MEMORY feature, you may mark any place on the tape in the same way.
FAST FORWARD
When you press the Fast Forward button (marked F-FWD/CUE) the cassette machine will speed up and the tape will quickly advance forward.
NOTE: THIS BUTTON DOES NOT LOCK INTO PLACE BUT MUST BE HELD. WHEN THE BUTTON IS RELEASED, THE TAPE WILL STOP.
VOLUME CONTROL
The VOLUME CONTROL dial allows you to adjust the volume of the cassette at whatever sound level you choose. As you turn this dial to the right, the sound becomes louder.
PITCH CONTROL
The Pitch Control dial is located to the left of the Memory ON/OFF switch. When you move this dial to the right, you can raise the tone (sharp—#) of the cassette tape; when you move this dial to the left, you can lower the tone (flat—b) of the cassette tape. This control enables you to tune the cassette to your KAWAI organ. It virtually eliminates the possibility of the cassette and organ being out of tune with one another.
LEVEL CONTROL
The LEVEL CONTROL (marked LEVEL) is an aid which visually shows you whether your playing volume for recording is too loud or too soft. To guarantee a good recording, always make sure that the needle stays in the silver portion of the control. Recording with the needle in the red section means the volume is too loud and the recording will have some distortion.
