News / Introducing the Kawai Master Series Upright Pianos

Premium Acoustic Performance, Redefined Kawai is proud to announce the launch of the Kawai Master Series upright pianos, a new line of premium acoustic upright pianos designed to represent the highest level of Kawai upright craftsmanship. Featuring three models—the MS-123, MS-130, and MS-134—the Master Series is built for pianists who seek authentic touch, expressive tone, and long-term musical value. Rather than focusing on luxury aesthetics alone, the Master Series emphasizes the true fundamentals of an exceptional upright piano: control, tonal depth, structural integrity, and reliability.

A New Standard in Premium Upright Piano Design Each Kawai Master Series upright piano is built around Kawai's acclaimed Millennium III upright action, incorporating ABS-Carbon composite materials for increased strength, stability, and precision. Combined with a solid spruce soundboard and an enhanced frame and back structure, the Master Series delivers improved tonal flexibility, richer bass response, and consistent performance across a wide dynamic range. Exclusive hammer felts and hand-wound bass strings inspired by Shigeru Kawai grand pianos help define the warm, richly colored Kawai sound, while the inclusion of a sostenuto pedal across the series expands expressive and performance possibilities rarely found in upright pianos.

The Master Series Lineup: Three Models, One Philosophy The Master Series lineup is designed to serve a wide range of pianists and environments, while maintaining a consistent level of craftsmanship and acoustic integrity. MS-123 Introduces the Master Series experience in a slightly more compact design ideal for homes, studios, and educational settings. Height: 123 cm (48") / Width: 153 cm (60") / Depth: 63 cm (25") MS-130 Serves as the core reference model of the series, offering a balanced combination of size, tonal depth, and expressive control for serious pianists. Height: 130 cm (51") / Width: 153 cm (60") / Depth: 64 cm (25") MS-134 The flagship model, delivers grand-inspired projection, power, and presence in a commanding upright form, well suited for performance spaces and institutions.
