The MS-130 represents the culmination of Kawai’s upright piano craftsmanship—designed for pianists who seek authenticity, depth, and expressive control in a refined vertical instrument. Positioned at the heart of the Master Series, the MS-130 delivers a rich, resonant tone through its enhanced structural design, solid spruce soundboard, and carefully balanced bridge pressure. Its voice reflects the warm, colorful character of the classic Kawai sound, shaped by exclusive hammer felts and hand-wound bass strings inspired by Shigeru Kawai grand pianos. Equipped with Kawai’s Millennium III action, the MS-130 offers exceptional responsiveness, stability, and long-term precision. Thoughtful refinements—such as a stainless-steel bearing and a redesigned pressure bar—enhance control and tonal clarity, allowing pianists to shape phrases with confidence and nuance. From private studios to educational environments and performance settings, the MS-130 stands as a sophisticated upright piano that delivers uncompromising musical value.
