A Comfortable Touch at the Fingertips “Millennium III Upright Action” Key components of Kawai’s piano action utilize ABS resin materials. This advanced material provides a level of precision, strength, durability, and resistance to environmental changes that cannot be achieved with wood alone. At the same time, its lightweight nature enhances repetition speed, control, and responsiveness, enabling more expressive and nuanced performance. A Piano Design That Quietly Breathes Alongside Everyday Life With its gracefully rounded cabinet and a topboard-supporting design inspired by grand pianos, the Master Series blends naturally into living spaces while projecting a refined and distinguished presence. From the bird’s-eye maple interior accents reminiscent of Shigeru Kawai grand pianos to the casters, pedals, and even internal bolts, every detail is finished with exceptional craftsmanship. More than a musical instrument, the Master Series becomes an integral part of its surroundings—quietly enriching daily life and elevating each moment to a higher level.
