Description
The Kawai K-800 is the highest-end model of the Kawai K series and is a truly professional instrument that offers the sound and feel of a grand piano, but in the form of an upright.
At 134 cm tall, this model delivers a rich, deep and powerful sound comparable to a grand piano, while offering the advantages of a compact upright.
The K-800 boasts premium materials and technology that enable exceptional playing precision.
It is designed with wooden intonation bars that improve tone quality, help with greater accuracy and control of the sound, and provide rich resonance. It also offers Millennium III action with advanced ABS-carbon materials, which allows for fast response and exceptional touch sensitivity. This technology gives the pianist complete control over the dynamic range and playing feel, which is essential for professional performances.
Mahogany heart hammers are one of the key features of the K-800. Mahogany is an extremely lightweight and responsive material, allowing for quick and precise pitch changes. The hammers are T-stacked, which maintains their shape and stability over time to maintain sound quality. The double-layered, sensitive felt coating provides a rich and balanced tone that creates an even more dynamic playing experience.
The mahogany hammers and advanced felt system provide exceptional sound quality that is consistently clear and balanced throughout the entire dynamic range. This allows the pianist to utilize the full potential of the instrument to create a variety of tones and feelings.
In addition, the K-800 piano features a sostenuto pedal, a third pedal that allows for the sustain of certain notes while the other keys remain unresponsive. This allows for greater musical freedom by allowing for selective sustaining of the sound when playing complex passages.
The K-800 also features a duplex scale, which enhances the piano’s resonance by adding extra resonant areas to the soundboard. This technology helps to enhance the depth and richness of the sound, making the K-800 an exceptionally resonant and balanced instrument. The duplex scale allows the higher tones to be even more present and clear, giving this model an exceptionally full sound.
High-quality materials, elegant high-gloss construction and superb mechanics place the K-800 at the very top of the world’s pianos, making it an excellent choice for music schools, concert halls and top pianists looking for a top-notch instrument. The K-800 combines both musical expression and superb construction, making it one of the most highly regarded pianos on the market.
