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 Kawai Grand Pianos now feature the Millennium III Action. This Action has been well accepted, as you can see from Kawai's success in many of the International Piano Competitions throughout the world.
Next, Kawai's efforts were put into developing the Millennium III action for Upright Piano. The result is a strong, precise and powerfull 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 their 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 analysed 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 realise 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
- New Soft Fall System
- New Brass Casters (all models). For K-3, 5, 6, 8 models, there will be double casters.
"Soft Fall" Fallboard
"Soft Fall" Fallboard closing system that protects hands, fingers and the pianos finish from the harm that a jarring close may cause.
Non-lead weighted Keys
"Kawai care about our world" and have changed the weight used in keys from lead to iron.
