Kawai SK-3 Acoustic grand piano
Kawai SK-3 — Shigeru Kawai acoustic grand
Kawai SK-3, at a universal length of 188 cm, offers the tonal richness, inter-register balance, and responsive mechanical action demanded by professional pianists. The balance between powerful bass and clear treble makes it versatile for both solo and chamber repertoire.
The Shigeru Kawai philosophy
The Shigeru Kawai series is the highest expression of Kawai’s premium grand piano production. The series continues the ideal of the company's second president, Shigeru Kawai, to "create the best pianos in the world." Material selection, natural wood seasoning, action regulation, and final voicing stages are carried out under the supervision of highly skilled masters. The final voicing process for each instrument is completed by a Kawai Master Piano Artisan (MPA).
Millennium III action and controlled touch
The Millennium III grand piano action uses ABS-Carbon components reinforced with carbon fiber. Lightweight, rigid, and dimensionally stable, these parts serve to transfer key energy to the hammer quickly, provide responsive repetition, and allow for delicate control from pianissimo to fortissimo. Extended spruce key sticks create a more even response at the front and back of the keyboard. NEOTEX surfaces offer a natural texture with a controlled touch.
“Shiko Seion” hammers and custom voicing
"Shiko Seion" — a special hammer system meaning "exquisite voicing" — is a key feature of Shigeru Kawai grands. The hammers are cold-pressed by hand and voiced without artificial hardeners. Hand-wound bass strings and precision-machined Shigeru Kawai Concert Agraffes create clear articulation, powerful fundamental tone, and rich harmonic structure in every register.
Premium spruce soundboard and Konsei Katagi rim
The tapered solid spruce soundboard undergoes a long-term natural kigarashi seasoning process. The Konsei Katagi hybrid inner rim combines layers of selected hardwoods of different densities: woods that provide brighter projection are balanced with those that create a warm, full resonance. Solid spruce beams, SOLID construction, a V-Pro plate, and the CORE system support efficient transfer of string energy to the soundboard, sustained resonance, and structural stability.
Pedal and expressive capabilities
The Dual-Pivot damper construction makes half-pedal control smoother. Together with the damper, sostenuto, and soft pedals, this system provides professional-level expressive freedom for legato, color changes, and delicate control of resonance.
