K-700 Millennium III Upright Action
Millennium III Upright Action features components made of ABS-Carbon, a composite material created by the infusion of carbon fiber into our renowned ABS Styran. ABS-Carbon is incredibly sturdy and rigid, which allows the creation of action parts that are lighter without sacrificing strength. The result is a stronger, faster action that offers more power, better control and greater stability than conventional all-wood actions.
Kawai K-700 Extended Key Length
The K-700 has Kawai's advanced longer key length. Longer keys make playing easier and provide more even response from the front to the back of the playing surface. The benefits to the player are greater control and more power with less effort.
NEOTEX key surface
Kawai's exclusive NEOTEX key surface material on the K-700 is made with cellulose fiber and offers the smooth, understated texture of natural ivory and ebony. It hosts a semiporous, silica-filled surface to absorb the hand's natural oils and perspiration that can cause slipping. NEOTEX resists cracking and fading over years of use and is used for both the sharps and the naturals for a consistent feel across the entire keyboard.
Tapered Soundboard made of Solid Spruce
The soundboard is the heart of a piano. Its purpose is to transform the vibrations of the piano's strings into a rich, resounding tone. Kawai uses only straight grained, quarter-sawn solid spruce for the K-700 soundboards. Each soundboard is strategically tapered to maximize its tone producing capability.
Mahogany wood core & T-stapled, double felted hammers
Mahogany hammer mouldings are lightweight and extremely responsive. Found on only the finest pianos, mahogany is used for the hammer mouldings on the K-700 piano. The hammers are T-Stapled to preserve hammer shape and fitted with an added interior layer of under-felt to support the creation of exceptional tone.
