The World's Most Precise
Upright Piano Action
Kawai upright pianos feature our exclusive
Ultra-Responsive Direct Blow action that offers extraordinary feel and touch.
Hammer heads are made with 100% wool felt. Hammer shanks and moldings are made
with top-quality maple. To make the action resistant to climatic and seasonal
changes in temperature and humidity, we pioneered the use of aluminum action
rails, aluminum hammer rest rails and precision parts made of extremely stable,
low-friction ABS Styran.
Exclusive ABS Styran Action Parts
The innovative use of ABS Styran in all our
piano actions is one of the chief reasons why a Kawai piano will maintain
stable touch and tone over time better than other pianos. Endorsed by leading
piano technicians and proven superior in scientific tests, ABS Styran is supported
by over thirty years of proven reliability in Kawai pianos. Read the Truth
About ABS.
Soundboard and Ribs
The most important sound-producing parts of a
piano are the soundboard and ribs. The choice of materials and the manner in
which they are assembled can greatly affect volume and tone quality. Our wood
technologists select only the finest spruce to ensure exceptional dynamic range
and superb tone across the entire spectrum of sound. The Kawai upright pianos
boast an exceptionally large soundboard area for greater tonal power and
resonance.
Back Posts
Back posts support the plate and help maintain
its structural integrity over the life of the piano. Our laminated back post
construction is designed for maximum rigidity to provide enhanced tuning stability
for decades of reliable performance.
Pinblocks
A pinblock must be constructed and finished to the highest quality standards to ensure maximum tuning stability. At Kawai, we make our pinblocks from the finest hard rock maple and utilize machine-cut thread, reverse-torque tuning pins for easy tuning.

Cast Brass Pedals
Kawai's exclusive Cast Brass Pedals are
extremely resilient. Made with a permanently bonded brass finish over a
die-cast aluminum core, Kawai Cast Brass Pedals are significantly stronger and
more durable than traditional "capped" upright piano pedals.

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT
UPRIGHT PIANO KAWAI K-SERIES
Reliability and superior sound quality
The K-Series upright
pianos offer a level of tone quality and performance that rivals many grand
pianos. With sturdy construction for years of reliable service, the K-Series
models are excellent for auditoriums, schools and other institutional settings.
Millennium III Action featuring ABS Carbon Action Parts
Most of our Grand Pianos
now feature the Millennium III Action. This Action has been well accepted, as
you can see from our success in many of the International Piano Competitions
throughout the world. The result is a strong, precise and powerful action for
the new "K-Series" models.
The Millennium III
Action features components made of ABS-Carbon, a new composite material created
by the infusion of carbon into our existing ABS Styran.
ABS-Carbon is incredibly sturdy and rigid, which allowed Kawai to make the
action parts lighter without sacrificing strength. The lighter design makes the
Millennium III Action tremendously fast and effortless for the player. The
repetition and responsiveness are superb.
Every exacting detail of
the action was exhaustively analyzed to meet the stringent demands of the
skilled pianist. One prime example of this effort was the addition of a
microscopic surface texture on the jack at the point where it meets the hammer.
The result of this subtle but important change is a dramatic increase in control
during pianissimo playing.
New Cabinet Design
To bring out more
elegance to the pianos, a new design has been made. Notice the details of the
pianos and realize the new wooden design elements. Wood is used to bring out the extra shine to the pianos. Also new shapes for
the edges and many more construction details have been changed compared to the
previous models.
- Longer Music Rack on all models
- Longer Music Rack on all models
- New Soft Fall System
- New Brass Casters (all
models). For K-3, 5, 6, 8 models, there will be double casters.
"Soft Fall" Fall-board
"Soft Fall" Fall-board
"Soft Fall"
Fall-board closing system that protects hands, fingers and the pianos finish
from the harm that a jarring close may cause.
Non-lead weighted Keys
"We care about our
world". We have changed the weight used in keys from lead to iron. The new
K-Series is an innovative change from Kawai. This new K-Series will not be just
a succeeding model to that of K-18, 25, 50, 60, 80, but a "Full Model
Change".
Soundboard Design
Soundboard Design
K-Series soundboards are
made of solid quarter-sawn, carefully chosen and scientifically tested to
exceed Kawai's demanding resonance standards for superior tone. For the K-3 and
K-2, the soundboard area, string lengths and number of ribs are maximized to
exceed the specifications of other pianos and provide greater power and
resonance.
