Touch - Kawai K-200 Piano

Touch is the quintessential key to joy, inspiration and artistry. Precise, consistent touch is the hallmark of every Kawai piano

Die-Cast Aluminium Action Brackets

Made from a custom mold, die-cast parts are formed exactly the same every time. The K-200 features three aluminium action brackets that are die-cast to provide and added measure of strength, uniformity and stability for accurate touch over time.

Dual-Beam Aluminium Action Rail

The action rail is the spine of the pianos action. The K-200 piano action rails are made of durable extruded aluminium with advanced Dual-Beam design for strength and stability.

Serrated Rail Surface

The action rail surface is finely serrated in three strategic areas to secure the hammer, wippen and damper flanges in place for optimum action alignment and a more precise hammer strike.

ABS-Carbon Action Parts - Kawai K-200 Piano

The use of ABS-Carbon makes the action parts tremendously strong and consistent. ABS-Carbon is many times stronger than wood and is virtually impervious to shrinking and swelling due to humidity. This extraordinary combination of strength and stability allows ABS-Carbon action parts to transfer energy to the hammers with unparalleled precision, power and nuance for a super playing experience.

Mahogany Core Hammers

Mahogany hammer mouldings are lightweight and extremely responsive. Found on only the finest pianos, mahogany is used for the hammer mouldings on the Kawai K-200.

Extended Length Keys

Longer keys make playing easier and provide more even response from the front to the back of the playing surface. The benefits to the player are greated control and more power with less effort.

The Power of Pianissimo - Kawai K-200 Piano

One of the most coveted attributes of a fine piano is dynamic range - the ability to play everything from thundering fortissimos to delicate pianissimos. The technological superiority of the Millennium III Upright Action on the K-200 is most evident in its extraordinary ability to produce the perfect pianissimo. It is ironic that the Kawai K-200 technology speaks loudest when it whispers.

Tone

Tradition and technology are indispensable elements of piano tone. Tradition lays the foundation for our distinctive tonal character. Technology empowers it with life, breadth and depth that lasts from generation to generation.

T-Stapled, Double Felted Hammers

The Kawai K-200 hammers are T-Stapled to preserve hammer shape and fitted with an added interior layer of underfelt to support the creation of exceptional tone.

Tapered Soundboards made of Solid Spruce - Kawai K-200 Piano

The soundboard is the heart of any piano. Its purpose is to transform the vibrations of the piano strings to a rich, resounding tone. Kawai uses only straight-grained quarter-sawn Solid Spruce for K series soundboards. Each one is strategically tapered to maximize its tone producing capabilities. Only those that meet or exceed Kawai's demanding standards are selected for use in the K-200 Upright piano.

Full-length Ribs Notched to the Rim Liner

The pianos soundboard is placed under tension to create a slight curvature - or crown - that dramatically increases the production of sound. The K-200 piano features full-length ribs that are securely notched into the rim liner on all sides to preserve the soundboard crown over time. The ribs also distribute sound energy more evenly across the soundboard to optimize its tone producing capabilities.

Bridges

Bridges transfer the vibrations of the strings to the soundboard. K series bridges are made from select Hard Maple, individually notched for a clear, powerful tone quality. Height is carefully set and matched to the iron plate for the correct string pressure and optimal tonal transfer.

Energy-reflecting Contour Bars

Contour Bars reshape the speaking area of the soundboard to resemble the contour of a grand piano soundboard whilst reflecting sound energy back into the centre for increased tonal power and sustain.

Strength - Kawai K-200 Piano

The strength of a well-crafted instrument makes the piano one of the most impressive examples of technology, engineering and craftsmanship in the world today. K Series Professional Upright pianos are designed with tremendous strength to ensure stability of tone and touch over time.

Plate Bolts

Plate bolts strengthen the connection between the plate and the back posts for greater stability.

Keybed and Braces

The pianos keybed must be strong and stable to support the action assembly and maintain action regulation over years of heavy use. K Series keybeds are made with sturdy laminated hardwoods and reinforced by rear braces on the iron frame that help to ensure stable placement and add rigidity to prevent energy loss.

Steel-reinforced Keyslip - Kawai K-200 Piano

A pianos keyslip is the long, horizontal piece of wood that covers the front faces of the keys. Because it is long, thin and made of wood, a keyslip can warp or bend with changes in humidity, causing keys to stick. To eliminate this problem, a heavy-guage steel angle iron is added to prevent warping and bending in any direction. Keys move freely with virtually no possibility of rubbing or sticking against the keyslip.

Multi-grip Pinblock

The Multi-grip Pinblock on the K-200 is multi-laminated with a minimum of eleven cross-banded layers of North American hard maple for maximum strength and consistent torque.

Tuning pins

K Series tuning pins are made from the finest steel, machine threaded for maximum bi-directional torque and nickel plated to enhance beauty and provide long-term protection.

Square-Tube Pedal Levers

The square-tube design of the K-200 pedal levers makes them stronger than the lower cost round-tube levers with flattened ends found on many other pianos. In addition, the square shape provides a flat surface for the wing nuts which helps to prevent unwanted noise and enables a more stable pedal adjustment.

Detail

The true craftsman labours diligently to the last detail. It is this attention to the subtleties that elevates ones work from the satisfactory to the sublime. At Kawai, detail is the crowning touch of excellence.

Cast Brass Pedals - Kawai K-200 Piano

Our proprietary casting process binds molten brass to a sturdy steel core resulting in strong, beautiful pedals that will not wear through over time.

Longer Music Rack

Conveniently built into the fallboard, the music rack on the K-200 extends nearly 40 inches to accomodate multiple music books or sheet music that extends laterally.

Brass Front Casters

Front casters made of Solid Brass are as sturdy as they are attractive.
