These instruments are designed for the discerning player who requires the tonal depth and mechanical response of a grand piano but requires the practical footprint of an upright.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eSitting at the heart of the range is the \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"41\"\u003eMS-130\u003c\/b\u003e. Standing at 130cm, it is a formidable instrument built with a robust six-back-post construction to manage high string tension. This structural integrity allows for a level of resonance and projection that is rare in an upright, bridging the gap between a standard professional model and a small grand. For the serious pianist, the MS-130 offers a commanding sound and a wide dynamic range without the demanding footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eThe wider Master Series range follows this same uncompromising philosophy. These are not uprights designed as a compromise, but instruments created for players who want the depth, control, and tonal richness of a grand in a more practical, space-conscious form. Drawing on the design and craftsmanship of Kawai’s flagship Shigeru Kawai grand pianos, the Master Series incorporates premium features such as hand-wound bass strings and beautifully finished bird’s-eye maple interiors. The result is a range of upright pianos that deliver a level of performance far beyond what most players would expect from this style of instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eThe MS130: Exceptional Power and Scale\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eStanding at 130cm, the MS130 is a formidable instrument.

By using ABS-Carbon components, Kawai ensures the touch remains light and incredibly precise. Unlike traditional wooden actions, it won't become sluggish or inconsistent with changes in humidity - a vital consideration for long-term performance. You’ll also find a true sostenuto pedal, providing the technical control required for advanced classical repertoire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eBuilt for Longevity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003eEvery component is chosen for its durability and tonal contribution, from the mahogany hammer mouldings to the premium Röslau “Blue” strings. To help you protect your investment, Kawai includes a built-in thermohygrometer within the accessory box. It’s a practical, professional touch that allows you to monitor the piano's environment and ensure it performs perfectly for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eA Space to Play and Compare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eSelecting a piano of this calibre is a personal process that shouldn't be rushed.
