Reasons to choose the Kawai K-600 134cm Professional Upright Piano

Grand Piano Depth in an Upright Form

Grand Piano Depth in an Upright Form

The K-600's impressive 134 cm height houses a larger tapered soundboard made from meticulously selected straight-grained spruce, delivering rich, full-bodied resonance with tonal power and depth that rivals many grand pianos. Agraffes on the lower 51 keys ensure exact string alignment and clarity even in powerful bass passages. Full duplex scaliing adds sympathetic vibrations for shimmering trebles and harmonic brilliance. Double-felted mahogany-core hammers deliver crisp articulation and refined sustain. The result is an extraordinary balance of power and finesse, fullness in grand dynamics, precision in the softest pianissimos.
Touch That Responds to Your Every Intention

Touch That Responds to Your Every Intention

The K-600 features Millennium III Action with ABS-Carbon Fibre components for immediate, articulate response that translates your musical intentions with precision. Enhanced by exclusive NEOTEX key surfaces on both naturals and sharps, offering the smooth texture of natural ivory and ebony with a semi-porous surface that prevents slipping during extended playing. The K-600 delivers professional-grade touch that supports the most demanding repertoire. Extended key length provides greater control and more power with less effort. Die-cast aluminium action brackets ensure accurate touch over years of intensive use. This is touch designed for artists who demand nothing less than perfection.
Advanced Acoustic Features for Harmonic Richness

Advanced Acoustic Features for Harmonic Richness

The K-600 combines sophisticated acoustic engineering rarely found in upright pianos. Agraffes across the lower 51 keys ensure accuracy in string alignment and spacing, producing greater sound uniformity and enhancing clarity of tone, particularly crucial in powerful bass passages. Full duplex scaling increases the speaking ability of non-struck string segments, adding sympathetic overtones and harmonic complexity throughout the entire range. These features, combined with the larger soundboard and premium hammers, create tonal depth, brilliance, and harmonic richness that elevate the K-600 beyond typical upright performance.
Built for Professional Demands

Built for Professional Demands

The K-600 is engineered for musicians who play daily at the highest level. Steel-reinforced keyslip prevents warping, ensuring keys move freely. Laminated hardwood keybed reinforced by rear braces ensures stable placement and prevents energy loss. Die-cast aluminium action brackets provide unwavering stability. The ultra-slow Soft-Fall fallboard protects the instrument. Combined with precision Japanese craftsmanship and rigorous quality control, this is professional-grade construction designed to support conservatory studies, professional teaching, performances, recordings, and decades of demanding use without compromise.

The Upright That Changes What's Possible

The Upright That Changes What's Possible

The K-600 redefines what an upright piano can achieve. It's the instrument that allows you to explore the full dynamic range of Rachmaninoff, the subtle voicing of Debussy, the powerful bass of Beethoven, all with the depth, clarity, and harmonic richness you'd expect from a grand piano. For advanced students who need professional-grade expression without a concert grand, educators seeking consistency and tonal richness, or musicians in acoustic spaces where tonal depth and elegance are valued, the K-600 is the answer. This is the upright that never asks you to compromise, it only asks you to play.

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.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Both are exceptional Japanese-crafted professional instruments, but the K-600 offers enhanced performance. At 134 cm (vs. 130 cm), the K-600 offers a larger soundboard for even greater tonal depth and power. The K-600 adds agraffes on the lower 51 keys for precise string alignment and bass clarity, plus full duplex scaling (upper and lower, vs. upper only) for enhanced harmonic richness throughout the entire range. Both feature NEOTEX keys and Millennium III Action, but the K-600 delivers grand piano-like depth and expression that represents the absolute pinnacle of upright performance. It's designed for advanced students, professional educators, and serious musicians who demand uncompromising quality.

Agraffes are metal guides mounted on the plate that precisely align and space the strings as they pass over the capo bar. The K-600 features agraffes on the lower 51 keys, ensuring exact string alignment and spacing in the bass and lower mid-range. This produces greater sound uniformity, enhances clarity of tone, and allows for more powerful bass passages without loss of definition. Agraffes are typically found only in premium grand pianos and the finest upright instruments, contributing significantly to the K-600's exceptional tonal clarity and professional-grade performance.

Absolutely. The K-600 is trusted by conservatory students, professional educators, and serious musicians worldwide. At 134 cm with agraffes, full duplex scaling, and the largest soundboard in the K Series line, it delivers grand piano-like depth, dynamic range, and harmonic richness needed for advanced repertoire. NEOTEX key surfaces, Millennium III Action, and extended key length provide the responsive touch and control that demanding passages require. Many students successfully use the K-600 for university-level studies, professional auditions, competitions, and performances. This is the upright that allows you to explore the full expressive range of the piano literature without compromise.

The K-600 delivers tonal depth, harmonic richness, and dynamic range that rivals many grand pianos, particularly in the 5'–6' range. The 134 cm height, agraffes, full duplex scaling, and larger soundboard create grand piano-like resonance and projection. However, grand pianos offer longer strings (particularly in the bass), horizontal soundboard orientation, and different action geometry that some players prefer for the most advanced repertoire. For musicians who need professional-grade expression but cannot accommodate a grand piano due to space, budget, or acoustic considerations, the K-600 is the ultimate solution. It's the upright that changes what's possible.

This includes tuning, regulation, voicing, and thorough quality checks to ensure your piano is performance-ready.
