Where Craftsmanship Meets Authenticity
Every Master Series upright piano is engineered with a singular purpose: to deliver true musical value to the player. Each note resonates with warmth and depth, shaped by enhanced structural rigidity, optimized bridge pressure, and materials chosen to serve the instrument’s long-term performance.
Rather than pursuing surface-level refinement, the Master Series focuses on what matters most—touch, tone, and durability—creating instruments that feel as rewarding to play decades from now as they do on the first day.
MS123
Kawai’s MS-123 introduces the Master Series in a refined, space-efficient upright, delivering warm tonal color, responsive control, and long-term stability in a compact form.
MS130
Kawai’s MS-130 represents the heart of the Master Series upright piano line, blending time-honored craftsmanship with refined structural design.
MS134
Kawai’s MS-134 stands as the flagship of the Master Series upright piano line, delivering grand-inspired power,depth, and expressive range in a commanding vertical form.
PRECISION TOUCH WITH ENDURING STABILITY
The Master Series is equipped with Kawai’s Millennium III upright action, incorporating ABS-Carbon composite materials for increased strength, consistency, and long-term precision. This advanced construction minimizes the effects of environmental changes while delivering a responsive, controlled touch across all dynamics.
THE WARMTH AND DEPTH OF THE KAWAI SOUND
Enhanced frame and back structure allow optimal bridge pressure, improving tonal flexibility and amplifying bass richness. The Master Series establishes its richly colored, warm Kawai sound through a combination of exclusive hammer materials and hand-wound bass strings inspired by Shigeru Kawai grand pianos.
This carefully balanced design produces a tone that is resonant, expressive, and adaptable—supporting a wide range of musical styles and playing environments.
Refined components—including a redesigned pressure bar and stainless steel bearing—enhance responsiveness and tonal clarity, allowing pianists to shape each phrase with confidence and nuance.
TIMELESS DESIGN, INSIDE AND OUT
Master Series uprights feature a traditionally designed cabinet with refined proportions, including a lift-up topboard reminiscent of grand pianos and a thick, rounded body.
Inside, bird’s-eye maple sideboards, polished metal components, and refined frame finishes reveal meticulous attention to even the most hidden details—extending beauty beyond what is immediately visible and reinforcing the instrument’s sense of presence and craftsmanship.
CRAFTED FOR LONGEVITY AND RESPONSIBLE PERFORMANCE
The Master Series reflects Kawai’s commitment to sustainable piano making. The use of ABS-Carbon action components reduces reliance on traditional hardwoods while improving durability, stability, and resistance to environmental changes.
Enhanced structural rigidity and stable tuning design help extend each instrument’s lifespan, minimizing the need for frequent maintenance. Built with care and precision, Master Series uprights are crafted to deliver enduring musical value for generations of pianists.
