    The Kawai K500 is first and foremost an acoustic piano designed for those looking for an instrument that is extra special. Produced in Japan this instrument is taller, has duplex scaling in the upper section and has a luxurious rich tone that you would expect only from a premium class piano.

    This top class acoustic instrument has been combined with Kawai's ATX3 anytime silent piano technology making it playable anytime of day or night with the use of headphones. But, Kawai have added Aures technology meaning that you can play the K500 as an acoustic instrument but combine it at the same time with digital sound which emanates through the soundboard. The lines between acoustic and digital are now blurred and allows any given combination of playing options like you have never seen or had before.

    Main Features

    • 51" Taller cabinet design allows bigger string length and rich detailed sound
    • Millennium 3 piano action with carbon composite materials for added strength, reliability and weight saving
    • Japanese built
    • Duplex scaling in the upper section
    • New Kawai Hybrid Sound Board featuring 4 High-end Performance Transducers powered by Onkyo
    • SK-EX Rendering Piano Sound Engine with Multi-Channel Sampling
    • Modern 5" LCD Touchscreen Display
    • Integrated Bluetooth MIDI and Audio wireless technology
    • Flexible Virtual Technician Function with 19 Adjustable Parameters
    • MP3/WAV/SMF Playback, record and Overdub to USB

    Kawai K500 Anytime ATX3 Technology

    Perform on the piano anytime day or night without disturbing others by plugging in headphones, yet, with the real touch of the stunning K500 acoustic piano key action. The ATX3 system offers up a palette of super high quality sounds including the respected Kawai SK-EX Shigeru grand piano. The selection means as well as the stunning acoustic sounds from the K500, you end up with a whole range of pianos as well as orchestral and other instruments to choose from. This further adds to the enjoyment of this premium upright piano.

    K500 Aures - Acoustic and Digital at The Same Time

    Kawai Aures pianos offer something you don't normally find in hybrid pianos. They come with 4 transducers attached to the solid spruce soundboard which allows the digital component of the piano to use the soundboard as a speaker. The result means it is possible to use the acoustic piano combined with additional sound sources such as strings or choirs etc. The entire soundboard becomes a speaker transforming the piano in to a true hybrid combination. The combination of both real and digital sources opens up new avenues of sound and playing enjoyment.

    Kawai K500 Millennium III Upright Action

    The Millenium III action is designed to be resilient and dynamic to play allowing complete control over expression. Kawai have combined wood and ABS-Carbon composites for a stunning natural touch, but, this also means where there are critical components that move or work with each other, then the ABS carbon stops any issues as it is not affected by moisture or temperature. As a bonus, due to its weight reduction it offers up to 25% faster movement.

    The key surfaces of the action use NEOTEX coating. NEOTEX is Kawai's exclusive keytop material made of cellulose fiber. It offers the smooth, understated texture of natural ivory and ebony...and a semi-porous, silica-filled surface to absorb the hand's natural oils and perspiration. Since NEOTEX material is used for both the white and black keys, the feel of the keys will be consistent across the entire keyboard. NEOTEX resists cracking and fading over years of use.

    Established in 1983 A&C Hamilton Musical Instruments maintains a healthy balance of traditional business values with a keen sense for new business ideas. Getting new customers and keeping existing customers are equally important to us. As the internet has changed all our lives we continue to grow from strength to strength applying the tried and trusted methods of traditional retail sales to this new world of internet sales and store sales. The world is a smaller place but we are all still individuals within it. It is so much more fun selling to some one you can have a chat with, either email phone or in the shop than just sending boxes via couriers. Our company has a solid financial basis to trade and all premises are owned in full by the directors.

    Our Music Shop is on the outskirts of Preston with forecourt parking for 8 cars. Our closest town is Blackpool and nearby is Lytham St Annes. Blackburn and Southport are close by. Lancaster, Morecambe, Wigan, Burnley, Ormskirk, Bolton, Leigh, Accrington are also near me. Manchester Liverpool and Cumbria are around an hour away.
