01 Tapered Soundboard

The heart of the piano.

At Kawai, we understand that the soundboard is the true heart of every piano – the element that transforms the vibrations of the strings into a rich, warm, and resonant tone. Each Kawai piano soundboard is strategically tapered to ensure natural, free vibration and to unlock its full tonal potential. For our premium pianos, we use only straight-grained, quarter-sawn solid spruce, carefully selected for its superior acoustic properties and tonal clarity. Only soundboards that meet Kawai’s high-quality standards find their way into our grand and upright pianos.

02 Full Perimeter Frame

Stability and tonal clarity begin with strength.

Kawai’s piano Full Perimeter Frame provides exceptional structural integrity, forming the solid backbone of our grand and upright piano. This robust, carefully engineered frame enhances overall stability, ensuring long-lasting tuning precision, durability, and consistent performance even under demanding playing conditions. Crafted to inspire musicians for generations.

03 Silent Technology

An authentic playing experience – in both acoustic and silent modes.

Music has no schedule – with Kawai piano Silent Technology, you can play your piano anytime, day or night. The advanced GP Touch Muting System preserves the authentic touch and response of an acoustic grand piano, even when playing in silent mode. Each keystroke retains the natural, precise, and expressive feel that defines the true Kawai piano playing experience, while high-quality headphone output allows for immersive private practice without disturbing others.

04 Four / Transducer Soundboard Speaker System

Digital sound system combined with real piano mechanics.

Kawai’s hybrid and digital pianos embody the perfect harmony of traditional craftsmanship and modern technology. The Soundboard Speaker System uses high-performance transducers on the soundboard to produce a three-dimensional, immersive sound field that closely replicates the resonance of an acoustic grand piano.

05 Millennium III Action

Sets new standards in terms of precision, speed, and stability.

Kawai’s piano Millennium III Action is based on ABS-Carbon, an innovative composite material made from ABS-Styran and carbon fibers, which combines exceptional strength, stability, and lightness. The result is a highly responsive, consistent, and reliable touch, allowing pianists to express every nuance with ease. Found in many Kawai grand and upright pianos, the Millennium III Action embodies the perfect balance of traditional craftsmanship and modern engineering excellence.

06 Extended Key Length

Precise expression across the keyboard.

Kawai’s piano Extended Key Length design ensures a balanced touch across the entire keyboard. By utilising longer keys – similar to those found in grand pianos – each note offers a more consistent lever action, providing enhanced control, sensitivity, and precision.
