MS-130
Where mastery meets life
MS-130
The Kawai Master Series MS-130 unites decades of craftsmanship with forward-thinking design to set a new benchmark for upright pianos. More than “luxury”, it pursues the true value of an instrument for the player: touch that responds with confidence, and tone that carries warmth, colour, and depth. From private moments at home to education settings and concert performance, the MS-130 delivers an uncompromising playing experience, empowering pianists to fully realise their musical ideals.
Height: 130cm
Every note begins with a touch.
WHERE PRECISION MEETS EMOTION, AND CRAFTSMANSHIP TRANSFORMS MOVEMENT INTO MUSIC.
The moment your fingers meet the keys, something extraordinary happens – the piano listens, responds, and gives your intention a voice.
Millennium III Action
Beyond the Limits of Wood
The Millennium III Upright Action incorporates ABS-Carbon components combining carbon-fibre reinforcement with advanced ABS engineering to achieve exceptional strength and rigidity. Lighter, finely balanced action parts respond with greater speed, consistency, and control.
The result is a more expressive, stable playing experience – one that surpasses the limitations of conventional all-wood upright actions.
NEOTEX + Ebony
Kawai’s exclusive NEOTEX white key surface offers a refined, ivory-like touch that absorbs moisture for secure contact and lasting comfort, while the Ebony Black keys offer a naturally textured surface that conforms subtly to the fingers – enhancing grip, sensitivity, and delicate control.
Every passage, every nuance is held with confidence.
The Feel of a Grand
The longer key length provides a more even, predictable response across the entire playing surface. This added leverage, like that of a grand piano, supports greater control, particularly in demanding passages, making playing feel more effortless and precise.
Built for tonal flexibility.
From the legacy of Kawai’s craftsmanship comes a sound that mirrors the heart.
Warm. Pure. Deeply human.
THE CHARACTER OF TONE
Unmistakably Kawai - every note is shaped with intention. Hammer materials chosen specifically for the Master Series work in harmony with hand-wound bass strings inspired by Shigeru Kawai grand pianos - giving the instrument a voice that is warm, resonant, and full of character.
From the softest pianissimo to moments of powerful intensity, the piano responds naturally to your touch. Music unfolds with richness, nuance, and emotional clarity - as though the instrument is breathing with you.
STRENGTH BY DESIGN
The Master Series advances upright performance through enhanced frame and back structure, optimising bridge pressure to improve tonal flexibility and amplify bass richness. It’s the kind of structural integrity you feel immediately: a stable foundation that supports a broader dynamic range, a more complex palette of colour, and a sound that remains poised under demanding playing.
FREEDOM WITHOUT COMPROMISE
The Master Series expands expressive possibilities through the simultaneous use of the muffler mechanism and sostenuto pedal - a rare combination in upright pianos. A dedicated lever control for the muffler means quiet practice and advanced pedal techniques can coexist, seamlessly.
Greater versatility. Greater expressive freedom. Adapting to the needs of every pianist and every moment.
BRILLIANCE THAT SHIMMERS
The pressure bar and stainless steel bearing firmly support the movement of the strings, ensuring a more precise attack and a clearer, more transparent resonance. Across the entire upper register, a rich and brilliantly shimmering sound unfolds.
High-quality tuning pins enhance stability, so the piano's naturally beautiful tone remains confident and true - every time you play.
Designed not only to be seen, but to belong
More than an instrument, a Master Series upright piano becomes part of the room, elevating both the act of playing and the everyday moments that surround it.
A piano that lives within the rhythm of everyday life.
With its gracefully rounded, substantial cabinet and a lift-up lid inspired by grand pianos, the Master Series presents a design that blends effortlessly into any living space, while offering a refined, reassuring presence.
Bird’s-eye maple sideboards, radiate a deep, lustrous beauty, while polished brass is thoughtfully incorporated across every component – from casters to pedals, even internal bolts – casting a warm, luxurious glow.
A presence that is as visually captivating as it is acoustically exquisite.
