Master Series MS-130 Crafted with Purpose. 

Since 1927, we have pursued a singular vision, to craft instruments of enduring beauty, precision, and emotional depth.

The Master Series stands as the latest expression of that legacy.

Introducing the MS-130.

A new pinnacle in upright piano design, the MS-130 is born from generations of master craftsmanship and shaped by a relentless commitment to refinement. Every element has been considered, every detail resolved, resulting in an instrument that speaks with uncommon clarity, warmth, and presence.

Its voice is rich and resonant, layered with colour and nuance.  A tone that does not simply fill a space, but transforms it. Here, tradition and innovation converge, guided not only by technical mastery, but by an understanding that true artistry lives beyond the measurable.

At 130cm tall, the MS-130 delivers the presence, projection, and tonal flexibility serious pianists look for while remaining beautifully suited to refined homes, teaching studios, and performance spaces.

Built around Kawai’s Millennium III upright action with ABS-Carbon fibre components, the MS-130 offers speed, stability, and control that invite you to play more expressively. NEOTEX white keys and Ebony black keys provide secure, natural contact, while the longer key length brings a more grand-like sense of leverage and predictability.

Tonally, Master Series hammers and hand-wound bass strings (inspired by Shigeru Kawai grand pianos) shape a voice that feels warm, resonant, and deeply human.

The MS-130 is more than an instrument, its where our heritage shapes what comes next, it's an invitation to discover expression at its most personal, and to experience the piano not just as it is played, but as it is felt.
