Touch
・Millennium III Action: This series is equipped with Kawai’s Millennium III piano action mechanism, incorporating ABS-Carbon composite materials for greater strength, stability, and long-term precision.
・Refined Components: The new pressure bar and stainless steel bearing bar improve responsiveness, delivering enhanced control and tonal clarity.
Sound
・Improvement of structure quality: Enhanced frame and back structure allows optimal bridge pressure, improved tonal flexibility, and amplifies bass richness.
・Expanded playing techniques: The simultaneous use of the muffler mechanism and sostenuto pedal enables performance methods tailored to the player’s needs in any situation.
・Establishing the “Kawai sound”: The Master Series achieves its richly colored, warm “Kawai sound” through a combination of hammer materials exclusive to the series and the introduction of hand-wound bass strings as found on Shigeru Kawai grand pianos.
Design
・Elegant and Classical Exterior: Featuring a traditionally designed cabinet with details such as the lift-up lid reminiscent of grand pianos and a thick, rounded body.
・Luxurious Interior: Bird’s-eye maple sideboards reminiscent of a Shigeru Kawai grand piano, polished components (nose bolt, damper wire block screw, hammer rail, muffler rail, etc.), and refined frame finishes demonstrate meticulous attention to even the most hidden details, achieving a sense of luxury and a truly unique presence.
Sustainability
