When it comes to choosing a new upright piano, how does one decide which instrument will work best for them? Aside from finish, there are several factors you will need to consider.

Kawai pianos offer an award-winning selection of acoustic, digital, and hybrid pianos. Even if you’re interested in this innovative brand, deciding which model is best for you can still be a tough decision. Read our Kawai piano reviews to learn what to look for based on your piano needs.

What Size Upright Piano Do You Need?

Most vertical pianos measure 5 feet or less in width and 2 feet or less in depth. Measure your wall space and if you have 60 inches of horizontal space, you will be able to accommodate a Kawai upright piano. 

Height must also be considered if you’re placing the piano under a window, on a stairwell wall, or under a piece of art. Kawai studio upright pianos are 44.5 inches tall to 46 inches tall. Kawai upright pianos measure 48 inches to 53 inches tall.

How Will You Use Your Kawai Piano?

Beginners, musicians, schools, churches, and so many more can find a Kawai model that works best for how they plan to play.

Kawai Pianos For Students & Musicians

The K series of professional upright pianos from Kawai are the primary pianos we recommend for student and practice use. With several models to choose from ranging in size from 45 inches for the K200 to 53 inches for the K800, one is sure to suit your needs. 

The 48” Kawai K300 is our best-selling Kawai upright piano. The height is ideal and the delightful tone projected by the tapered spruce soundboard is capable of producing a wide range of sounds. From sweet, soft pianissimos to reverberating fortissimos, the K300 will surpass your expectations. The K300 is also equipped with Kawai’s revolutionary Millennium III upright action. The Millennium III action, designed with components made from carbon composite materials, provides extraordinary musical expression and an extremely responsive touch. 

The K3, predecessor to the K300 won acoustic upright of the year for 4 consecutive years; the model K300 builds on that legacy.
