Authentic Touch and Response

At the heart of the K-800 lies Kawai’s revolutionary Millennium III Upright Action, engineered with ABS-Carbon composites to deliver an ultra-responsive feel and exceptional durability. Players experience a full dynamic range from delicate pianissimo passages to thunderous fortissimos, enabling a deeper connection to every musical expression.

Rich Tonal Character

With a solid spruce tapered soundboard and the implementation of full duplex scaling, the K-800 produces complex harmonics and a singing treble register. Agraffes ensure precise string spacing, further enhancing tonal consistency and smoothness across the keyboard. Double felted mahogany core hammers add warmth and clarity to every note, while six sturdy back posts support a powerful, resonant sound.

Elegant and Functional Design

Beyond performance, the K-800’s design embodies both beauty and utility. The grand-style "Soft Fall" closing system protects the fallboard, while double brass front casters and a secure locking mechanism offer mobility and security. A steel-reinforced keybed and keyslip ensure long-lasting stability, even under the demands of heavy daily use.
