Experience grand-level expressiveness, rich acoustic projection, and classic Japanese craftsmanship with the Kawai K-500 Professional Upright Piano, presented in a timeless Ebony Polish cabinet. Standing at a commanding 130 cm height, the K-500 is engineered for advanced pianists, teaching studios, conservatories, and performance spaces across the UAE. Combining Kawai's revolutionary Millennium III action with extended key lengths, fore duplex scaling, and a tapered solid spruce soundboard, it delivers exceptional dynamic range and tactile nuance.
Grand Piano Performance: Millennium III Action with NEOTEX™ Surfaces
At the mechanical core of the K-500 is Kawai's acclaimed Millennium III Upright Action incorporating ultra-rigid ABS-Carbon composite components. Exceptionally lightweight yet strong, it enables faster key repetition, superior power transfer, and outstanding structural immunity to UAE climate fluctuations. The action is further elevated by:
- NEOTEX™ Key Surfaces: Exclusive cellulose fiber white and black keytops absorb finger moisture to prevent slipping during long practice and performance sessions.
- Extended Wooden Keys: Longer key lengths provide an even, balanced touch weight from the front to the back of the key surface, delivering enhanced lever balance and control.
- Die-Cast Aluminum Action Brackets: Custom-molded aluminum brackets ensure precise action alignment and long-term mechanical consistency.
Fore Duplex Scaling, Tapered Soundboard & Deep Projection
The K-500 produces an expansive acoustic tone that comfortably fills large teaching studios and residential living rooms:
- Fore Duplex Scaling: Adds complex harmonic brilliance and singing sustain to the upper treble register.
- Tapered Solid Spruce Soundboard: Scientifically tapered solid spruce construction optimizes acoustic vibration across all registers.
- Extended Bass String Length: A 1,230 mm speaking length on the no. 1 bass string delivers deep, resonant low-end resonance.
- Mahogany Core Hammers: T-stapled, underfelted mahogany hammers deliver warm tone and clean hammer impact.
Heavy-Duty Cabinetry & Professional Features
Built for a lifetime of heavy institutional practice and home enjoyment:
- High-Gloss Ebony Polish Cabinet: Classic polished black finish that brings timeless aesthetic authority to any room.
