Usato, Kawai, Altro

Kawai C880 Walnut. Conservatory / High-End Professional (similar to the Kawai K series, but with some refinements)
Height: Approximately 132 cm
(Standard height for studio or concert upright pianos. This allows for a good string length and a generous soundboard.)

Soundboard: Solid spruce wood, for rich natural resonance.

Action Mechanism:
Kawai’s Ultra-Responsive Action (with carbon and ABS components for increased durability and stability against humidity and temperature changes).

Keys:
High-quality wooden keys with a surface that mimics synthetic ivory for improved grip.

Hammers:
Mahogany hammers with premium high-density felt.

Pedals:
Three pedals: soft (una corda), sostenuto, and sustain (damper) pedal.

Finish:
“FRG” (French Rosewood Gloss) – a high-gloss French rosewood finish, elegant and eye-catching, more exclusive than the traditional polished ebony.

Typical Use:
Ideal for advanced study or for spaces where a grand piano won’t fit, but a highly professional response is desired. Also used on small stages or in chamber music rooms due to its power and sound depth.

General Opinion:
The C880 is considered one of the best upright pianos Kawai has produced in its era, very close to a grand piano in terms of sound presence. In fact, many technicians compare it to the Yamaha U3 or Kawai K800 models for its performance.
