A true piano that lets you play your way day or night, acoustic or silent, always inspired.

The K-300 Aures2 is where tradition meets transformation. This is a true acoustic piano featuring everything you expect from Kawai's award-winning K-300 with rich tone, responsive Millennium III Action, and elegant design - but with a hidden superpower: the ability to go silent and digital, blend acoustic and digital sounds together, or play along with your favourite music, all without ever losing the feel of a real piano.

At heart, it's the same K-300 played in studios and teaching rooms worldwide. But the AURES system opens up new possibilities: practice silently through headphones at any hour, layer digital strings with your acoustic piano for richer tone, or stream songs and tutorials from your device via Bluetooth and play along through the piano's speakers. The feel stays exactly the same, the sound simply expands into a new world of creative possibilities. For learners and families who want real piano touch with modern flexibility, professionals and teachers seeking versatility without compromise, or creative musicians who want to layer, record, and explore different sounds, the K-300 Aures2 adapts beautifully to your lifestyle and musical journey. This isn't just a hybrid piano, it's a musical companion that grows with you, traditional when you want it, silent and smart when you need it, always ready to respond to your creativity.

Reasons to choose the Kawai K-300AR2 Hybrid Aures2 Upright Piano

A Real Piano That Lets You Play Your Way, Day or Night

The K-300 Aures2 is a true acoustic piano first at 122 cm height with tapered solid spruce soundboard, premium mahogany hammers, and Millennium III Action delivering the responsive touch and warm tone that builds strong piano technique. But the AURES system gives you complete flexibility: play acoustically for traditional performance, switch to silent mode for late-night practice through headphones, or blend acoustic and digital sounds together for unique sonic combinations. Layer digital strings with your acoustic piano for lush, orchestral tone. It's not a simulation, it's the real thing with creative possibilities that adapt to your life, not the other way around.

Blend Acoustic and Digital - Create Your Own Sound

The K-300 Aures2 has a unique capability that allows you to blend acoustic piano sound with digital voices simultaneously, creating rich, layered combinations impossible on a traditional piano. Add shimmering strings to your acoustic performance for a fuller, more orchestral sound. Layer electric piano or synth pads for contemporary styles. The Soundboard Speaker System channels these blended sounds through the piano's own solid spruce soundboard, creating naturally acoustic presence that's more expansive than traditional speakers. This is hybrid technology that doesn't just switch between acoustic and digital, it lets you combine them, opening up creative possibilities while honouring the soul of the piano.

Play Along With Your Favourite Music and Tutorials

Connect your phone, tablet, or laptop via Bluetooth Audio and stream your favourite songs, backing tracks, or online piano tutorials directly through headphones or the Soundboard Speaker System. Practice along with your favourite artists, learn from online tutorials with the audio playing through the piano, or accompany backing tracks for a personal ensemble experience, all with high-quality, low-latency aptX audio. This makes learning more engaging, practice more enjoyable, and creative exploration more accessible. The piano becomes your practice partner, your teacher, and your band, all in one.

SK-EX Rendering and Rich Sound Selection

The K-300 Aures2 incorporates Kawai's flagship SK-EX Rendering sound engine from the Concert Artist and Novus lines, delivering the stunning sound of the Shigeru Kawai SK-EX full concert grand through headphones or the Soundboard Speaker System. Beyond piano voices, explore electric pianos, organs, strings, choirs, and synth pads. Use Dual mode to layer sounds, Split mode to divide the keyboard, or Four Hands mode for duet practice. The dedicated PianoRemote app gives you intuitive control over sound selection, Virtual Technician customisation, recording, metronome, and a built-in classical music library. This is creative freedom without compromise.

Built on Award-Winning K-300 Quality

The K-300 Aures2 is built on the solid foundation of Kawai's award-winning K-300 upright, featuring Millennium III Action with ABS-Carbon components for responsive, precise touch. Die-cast aluminium action brackets, extended key length, steel-reinforced keyslip, and laminated hardwood keybed ensure stability and accuracy through years of intensive use. Ultra-slow Soft-Fall fallboard protects the instrument. Made in Japan with tapered soundboard, premium mahogany hammers, and rigorous quality control, this is an instrument that delivers professional-grade acoustic performance plus digital versatility, built to support your musical journey for decades.

The Hybrid That Grows With You

The K-300 Aures2 is more than technology, it's a partner that adapts to every stage of your musical life. It's the piano that lets beginners build proper technique on real keys while practicing silently with headphones. It's the instrument that supports advancing students through AMEB grades with acoustic tone, then lets them play along with tutorial videos streamed from their tablet. It's the creative companion that allows composers to blend acoustic piano with digital strings for richer arrangements. It's the family piano that everyone can enjoy without conflict, acoustic for recitals, silent for late-night practice, Bluetooth-connected for learning with favourite songs. This is the hybrid that never asks you to choose between tradition and flexibility, it gives you both - beautifully.

Music is at the heart of everything we do.

It brings stories to life, shaping moments with emotion.

It’s there when we celebrate, when we reflect, and when we connect.

At the centre of it all - sits the piano.

It’s not about perfection or mastery.

But a companion for creating memories and marking life’s most meaningful passages.

A voice when words fall short, a touchstone for joy, longing, and everything in between.

More than just an instrument, it’s a memory maker.

Through life’s highs and lows, it endures.
