K3
48" Upright Professional Piano
The 48” K-3 offers an incomparable combination of tone, touch and value that has made it one of our most popular professional uprights. Selected as the “2008 Acoustic Piano of the Year” by the readers of MMR Magazine, the K-3 provides a clear, rich tonal quality and an extraordinary consistency of touch made possible by our exclusive Millennium III Upright Action. Experience the K-3 and understand why it is one of the best-selling upright pianos available today.
RELIABILITY & SUPERIOR SOUND QUALITY
The 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 - 16% FASTER
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. It is approximately 16% faster in uprights, 25% faster in grands. 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
The introduction of wooden design elements provides a more polished visual shine to the K-series pianos. Alterations in shapes and edges as well as featured additions of longer music racks, a new soft fall system and new brass casters (double for K-3, 5, 6 and 8 models) distinctly different from previous models is designed to achieve an improved practical and visual elegance.
SOFTFALL FALLBOARD
The Softfall fallboard closing system protects players' hands and fingers as well as protects the piano finish from the harm often caused by jarring.
LEADLESS, WEIGHTED KEYS
Weighted piano keys once made from lead have been replaced with iron. Kawai cares about music, and the world.
