Kawai K6 upright piano Fabulous professional upright piano for sale. One of Kawai’s flagship models. The quality and craftsmanship that you would expect from a Kawai piano is all here, the solid spruce soundboard creates a rich full sound,the millennium iii action is light and responsive and the extra long bass strings give both depth and richness of tone. One of the best “studio uprights” on the market: the mechanisms are so quiet that microphones can be placed directly above the hammers to capture the brightest sound, without fear of picking up mechanical noise. One of Kawais great innovations is to use a special Carbon fibre material within the action parts which is lighter and stronger than wood. Wood is known to swell in humidity, and this can create all kinds of problems when you work in a hot studio environment. The lighter weight also gives a more fluid keyboard action, and as a result, the K6 is joy to playWe bought this piano in 2010 for our teenage son, who shortly afterwards decided to focus on the double bass. Consequently, it has not been subjected to hours of daily practice. It has been tuned and serviced regularly From Kawai’s website: Reliability and superior sound qualityThe K Series upright pianos offer a level of tone quality and performance that rivals many grand pianos. With sturdy construction for years of reliable service, the K Series models are excellent for auditoriums, schools and other institutional settings.Millennium III Action featuring ABS Carbon Action Parts
Most of our Grand Pianos now feature the Millennium III Action. This Action has been well accepted, as you can see from our success in many of the International Piano Competition throughout the world.Next, our efforts were put into developing the Millennium III action for Upright Piano. The result is a strong, precise and powerful action for the new “K-Series” models.
The Millennium III Action features components made of ABS-Carbon, a new composite material created by the infusion of carbon into our existing ABS Styran. ABS-Carbon is incredibly sturdy and rigid, which allowed Kawai to make the action parts lighter without sacrificing strength. The lighter design makes the Millennium III Action tremendously fast and effortless for the player. The repetition and responsiveness are superb.Every exacting detail of the action was exhaustively analysed to meet the stringent demands of the skilled pianist. One prime example of this effort was the addition of a microscopic surface texture on the jack at the point where it meets the hammer. The result of this subtle but important change is a dramatic increase in control during pianissimo playing.New Cabinet Design
To bring out more elegance to the pianos, a new design has been made. Notice the details of the pianos and realise the new wooden design elements. Wood is used to bring out the extra shine to the pianos. Also new shapes for the edges and many more construction details have been changed compared to the previous models.
