Kawai Upright Pianos
For over six decades, Kawai has been the architect of the modern piano, boldly pioneering the use of state-ofthe-art materials and ideas to advance the piano art form.
While our nearly 100 years of experience and tradition have enabled the creation of remarkable touch andtone for today, it is our celebrated technology that powerfully preserves and sustains that outstanding touchand tone for tomorrow. This innovative spirit is the essence of Kawai—and the principal reason why we remain
a generation ahead in providing exceptional performance that endures.Optimum touch
touch

Touch is the quintessential key to joy, inspiration and artistry. Precise, consistent touch is the hallmark of
every Kawai piano.
The Power of Pianissimo
One of the most coveted attributes of a fine piano is dynamic range—the ability to play not only thundering fortissimos,
but also the most delicate and sensitive pianissimos. The technological superiority of the Millennium III Upright Action ismost evident in its extraordinary ability to produce the perfect pianissimo. It is ironic that K Series technology speaks loudest when it whispers. The revolutionary Millennium III Upright Action is the secret behind the ultra-responsive touch of theK Series Professional Upright Pianos.

Extended key length &NEOTEX TM Key Surfaces(K-500, K-600, K-700 and K-800 only)

Longer keys make playing easier and provide amore even response from the front to the back of
the playing surface.
Our exclusive NEOTEX key surface material madewith cellulose fiber offers the smooth, understatedtexture of natural ivory and ebony—and a semi-porous, silica-filled surface to absorb the hand’s natural oils and perspiration that can cause slipping.
NEOTEX resists cracking and fading over years ofuse and is used for both the sharps and the naturals for a consistent feel across the entire keyboard.

Millennium III Upright Action
Millennium III Upright Action features components
made of ABS Carbon, a composite material createdby the infusion of carbon fiber into our renowned
ABS Styran. ABS Carbon is incredibly sturdy andrigid, which allows the creation of action parts thatare lighter without sacrificing strength. The result
is a stronger, faster action that offers more power,
better control and greater stability than conventional all-wood actions.
