Neu, Kawai, K-500

The Kawai K-500 is a top-tier acoustic upright piano that stands out in the brand’s lineup for its exceptional power, tonal depth, and advanced craftsmanship. While it shares a lineage with the popular K-300 model, the K-500 delivers a superior sound projection and a more resonant, expressive tone, making it a favorite among experienced pianists and music institutions alike.

One of its standout features is the use of **NEOTEX™ key surfaces**, a synthetic material that mimics the look and feel of ivory and ebony. The semi-porous surface absorbs moisture from the fingers, offering a secure and consistent grip during extended play. This anti-static, fade-resistant material also ensures the keys remain clean and beautiful for years.

The **extended key length** enhances balance and control, giving the player a more even response whether striking the front or deeper into the keybed. Coupled with the Millennium III keyboard action—crafted from ABS-Carbon composite for enhanced durability and responsiveness—this piano provides a refined, dynamic playing experience.
