Every exacting detail of the action was exhaustively analysed to meet the stringent demands of the skilled pianist. One prime example of this effort was the addition of a microscopic surface texture on the jack at the point where it meets the hammer. The result of this subtle but important change is a dramatic increase in control during pianissimo playing.

New Cabinet Design
To bring out more elegance to the pianos, a new design has been made. Notice the details of the pianos and realise the new wooden design elements. Wood is used to bring out the extra shine to the pianos. Also new shapes for the edges and many more construction details have been changed compared to the previous models.

- Longer Music Rack on all models
- New Soft Fall System
- New Brass Casters (all models). For K-3, 5, 6, 8 models, there will be double casters.
 

Millennium III Action featuring ABS Carbon Action Parts
Most of Kawai's Grand Pianos now feature the Millennium III Action. This Action has been well accepted, as you can see from their success in many of the International Piano Competition throughout the world.

Next, their efforts were put into developing the Millennium III action for Upright Piano. The result is a strong, precise and powerful action for the new "K-Series" models.

The Millennium III Action features components made of ABS-Carbon, a new composite material created by the infusion of carbon into our existing ABS Styran. ABS-Carbon is incredibly sturdy and rigid, which allowed Kawai to make the action parts lighter without sacrificing strength. The lighter design makes the Millennium III Action tremendously fast and effortless for the player. The repetition and responsiveness are superb.

Non-lead weighted Keys
"We care about our world". Kawai have changed the weight used in keys from lead to iron.

"Soft Fall" Fallboard
"Soft Fall" Fallboard closing system that protects hands, fingers and the pianos finish from the harm that a jarring close may cause.
