Soundboard of a special class

The Kawai wood technology uses all of the senses ... seeing, smelling, feeling, to select the best woods. The soundboards of the K-series are made from massive, very straight-grained spruce, that is very carefully selected, asymmetrical vaulted and scientifically tested, to fulfil Kawai's high demands to resonance behaviour and for the best sound.

The most precise piano action in the world

Through the combination of material strength, stability, precision and reliability is Kawai's ULTRA RESPONSIVE™ leading action. The hammer heads are made of 100% pressed "Premium" wool. To make the action resistant to climatic and seasonal changes in temperature and humidity, Kawai pioneered the use of aluminium action rails and hammer rest rails, and they construct certain highly stressed components from friction-reducing, high-impact ABS Styran.

The back posts construction

The laminated back posts of the K-series are designed for maximum rigidity to provide enhanced tuning stability for decades of reliable performance.
