Finish: Ebony Polish, Walnut Polish, Walnut Satin, Sapeli Mahogany Polish & Oak Satin Height: 49¼ (125cm). Soundboard: Solid Sitka Spruce. Back Posts: 4 Multi-Lamination. Felt 100% Virgin Wool. Pedals: 3 (Sustain, Quiet Play, Soft). Longest String: 47 (119.5cm). The backposts are made up of 20-ply cross-banded Mahogany. The pinblock of cross-banded rock maple is securely anchored to the back assembly. Tuning stability is created when strengthened by the extra heavy cast iron plate, assuring durability for many generations of use. Kawai offers the largest soundboard surface area in the industry and is constructed from select solid Sitka spruce. The boards are “heat- crowned” to spruce ribs arranged in Kawai’s exclusive “radial-fan” pattern. This costly but important factor frees up more soundboard area for the best acoustic response. The ribs are mortised into the notched backframe for better resonance. A tone reflector block is placed on the back of the sound-board to support the bridge and ensure an evenness of tone “across the break”. Strings are made from the finest steel music wire, and bass strings are wrapped with solid copper. Combined with Kawai’s double. Curved bridge design, this makes possible the industry’s longest strings, and a cross-over break that is virtually undetectable. Bridges of select hard-rock maple are cut from one solid piece for proper string- bearing, then hand-notched and securely fastened to the sound- board. Hammers are the finest quality, 100% virgin wool and are designed to enhance Kawai’s dynamic scale design. Made of nickel-plated steel to resist. Rust, Kawai’s tuning pins are precision threaded to offer the greatest “reverse-torque” holding power of any tuning pin manufac- tured today. Kawai Professional Uprights feature three working pedals; full sustain, soft and quiet-play. All levers in the trapwork are made of non- flexing metal, instead of wood, thus eliminating the squeaks and. Rattles caused by warpage. Kawai’s world-renown Ultra- Responsive Action reacts from the most delicate to the most dynamic touch. All action rails are made of non-warping, extruded aluminum to assure action dimensions remain stable. Kawai features keys 1? 8 longer than standard for ease of play, better balance and improved repetition. Keysticks are made of straight grained solid spruce, angular cut to maximize strength. The key dip is 10mm and each key is weighted for its position in the scale. Keycovers are Kawai’s scientific synthetic ivory-which provide the look and feel of natural ivory without the yellowing/cracking problems or. The negative environmental impact.
