The K2 is one of the new series of Kawai upright pianos to be fitted with their improved ‘Millennium III’ action. This action was first seen on their top-of-the-line concert grand instruments and has now been redesigned for the K Series uprights. The action employs some ‘ABS-Carbon’ components, designed to be stiff but light, as well as handcrafted wooden parts, making the piano’s touch very fast and responsive. At the price point of an entry-level quality instrument, this piano has the refined, responsive touch usually associated with much higher priced pianos.
