Why Kawai?
From the Manufacturer:
The K Series Professional Upright Pianos are engineered for superb tone, ultra-responsive touch, compelling beauty and extraordinary performance over many years of rigorous use. Experience them and see why leading performers, educators and institutions have made Kawai the professional's choice.
Millenium III Action and ABS-Carbon
For the Millenium III Action, Kawai scientists developed a new material called ABS-Carbon, created by the infusion of carbon fibers into ABS material. ABS-Carbon is incredibly strong and lightweight – properties that allowed Kawai to make the action parts lighter without sacrificing strength. The lighter design makes the Millennium III Upright Action exceptionally fast and effortless. The repetition and ease-of-playing is superb.
Soundboard design
K Series soundboards are made of solid quarter-sawn spruce, carefully chosen and scientifically tested to exceed Kawai's demanding resonance standards for superior tone
Mahogany hammer mouldings
Mahogany is a superior choice for hammer mouldings because of its high ratio of strength to weight. Mahogany hammers are light weight and extremely responsive. At the start of development, Kawai engineers focused on the need for exceptional repetition – a feature highly-prized by professional pianists. To improve repetition, the action parts needed to be made lighter in weight. But there would be a side effect. Reducing weight alone could result in parts that were not as strong. Therefore, the engineers reasoned that the parts must be made stronger before they could be made lighter. The infusion of carbon fiber into ABS increased the strength of the material by 90%. This enabled ABS-Carbon parts to be stronger, even though they were made lighter in weight.
Additional power was a natural byproduct of adding carbon fiber to ABS material. Carbon fiber makes ABS-Carbon not only stronger, but also more rigid. Because rigid parts tend to transfer energy more efficiently than parts that “flex,” ABS-Carbon sends more energy to the hammer with every keystroke. In short, the player is able to produce more power with less effort.

Other options?
Also available mahogany polyester. All new Kawai pianos are available with the new ATX4 silent system or their new Aures soundboard speaker system.
Our range of silent pianos are all completely acoustic instruments; meaning that hammers are still striking strings to produce a sound and therefore have the benefit of playing a real acoustic piano, however, they also have a digital component that simply allows players the option to switch to a digital sound for "silent playing" via headphones.
