Unsurpassed elegance and craftsmanship in a refined format. The Kawai GX2 represents a new standard in grand piano design, combining state-of-the-art technology with traditional Japanese craftsmanship to deliver the delicate control and expressive power of a concert grand in a 5’10” (180cm) instrument. Featuring an extended keyboard for superior touch control, Millennium III action with ABS-Carbon components, premium NEOTEX key surfaces, hybrid inner rim construction, and the CORE system for outstanding tonal power and sustain, the GX2 offers a level of refinement that few pianists have the opportunity to experience. This is grand piano performance reimagined – where ‘made in Japan’ philosophy meets musical inspiration.

Description

Kawai MS-134 Master Series Upright Piano

The Kawai MS-134 is the flagship of Kawai’s Master Series and represents a new level of craftsmanship and performance in an upright piano. At 134cm tall, it has been designed for the serious pianist who wants the tonal depth, control and refinement of a premium instrument, while retaining the practicality of an upright.

At the heart of the MS-134 is a large, tapered solid spruce soundboard, carefully designed to produce a warm, resonant and richly coloured tone. Hand-wound bass strings, inspired by those used in Shigeru Kawai grand pianos, combine with mahogany-core, double-felted hammers to give the instrument impressive depth in the bass and clarity throughout the register.

Kawai’s acclaimed Millennium III action uses lightweight ABS-Carbon components to provide excellent repetition, stability and control. NEOTEX white key surfaces and genuine ebony black keys further enhance the playing experience, giving the keyboard a particularly refined and reassuring feel.

The MS-134 also incorporates features rarely found together on an upright piano. Duplex scaling enhances the harmonic richness of the instrument, while a true sostenuto pedal can be used alongside a separate muffler mechanism, giving the pianist considerably greater expressive flexibility.

Visually, the Master Series is equally distinctive. Its substantial, softly rounded cabinet, grand piano-inspired lift-up top lid, polished brass fittings and beautiful bird’s-eye maple interior detailing give the MS-134 a presence that sets it apart from a conventional upright.

  While looking for a piano to rent, we were lucky to come across Cambridge Pianoforte Centre - after our experience, definitely the go-to place for all things piano and music. In addition to receiving excellent, personalised advice, we also had the opportunity to try out several pianos. After the piano had been chosen, it was delivered promptly....and it has been played with great joy ever since :)) Many thanks for the prompt answers to our questions, your flexibility, the warm and friendly communication, and the fantastic support!! We really appreciate it.
