The Kawai K‑500 is the pinnacle of Kawai’s award-winning K Series—an upright piano with the power, tone, and precision that rivals many baby grands. Designed for advanced pianists, teaching studios, and professional use, the K‑500 blends cutting-edge action technology with premium acoustic materials to deliver a rich, authoritative performance in a traditional upright form.
At the core of the K‑500 is Kawai’s revolutionary Millennium III Upright Action, crafted with ABS-Carbon components for exceptional strength, speed, and stability. This advanced action allows for greater control, faster repetition, and remarkable responsiveness—perfect for nuanced expression and demanding repertoire.
Standing at 130 cm, the K‑500 offers one of the largest soundboards and longest string lengths in the K Series. This results in a deep, resonant bass, a clear, singing treble, and an overall dynamic range that’s ideal for concert preparation or professional teaching environments. The inclusion of neotex™ key surfaces enhances grip and moisture absorption for improved playability.
