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.  

 

Kawai have developed the Millennium III action for Upright Pianos. 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 Kawai’s existing ABS Styran. ABS-Carbon is incredibly sturdy and rigid, which has 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 Kawai action has been 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.

 

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 with the previous models.

"Soft Fall" Fallboard closing system that protects hands, fingers and the pianos finish from the harm that a jarring close may cause.

 

"Kawai care about our world". And have changed the weight used in keys from lead to iron.
