Overview
The K2 is one of the new series of Kawai upright pianos to be fitted with their improved ‘Millennium III’ action. This action was first seen on their top-of-the-line concert grand instruments and has now been redesigned for the K Series uprights. The action employs some ‘ABS-Carbon’ components, designed to be stiff but light, as well as handcrafted wooden parts, making the piano’s touch very fast and responsive. At the price point of an entry-level quality instrument, this piano has the refined, responsive touch usually associated with much higher priced pianos.
Tone and Touch
The tone is typically Kawai – clear and pure, but with a warmth usually associated with high quality British and German instruments. Standing only 45” high, the K2 is small for a traditional upright, but the full tone, especially in the bass, suggests a much larger, more powerful instrument. This piano is fitted with the Soft Fall System, protecting the piano (and one’s fingers) from the lid slamming shut, and also with a full length music rack, an often overlooked but very useful feature. We like the classic styling of the traditional case, which is available in a full range of finishes (black shown below) to suit modern or more traditionally furnished rooms.
We usually have a K2 in stock, so why not come down to our showroom and try one out?
