Kawai ST-1 Upright Piano

Built for the rigors of real life. Designed for musical excellence.

The Kawai ST-1 is the ultimate institutional upright—engineered to thrive in high-demand environments without compromising on tone or touch. Whether it’s a bustling school, a busy studio, or a church sanctuary, the ST-1 delivers consistent performance, exceptional durability, and refined musicality.

At its core is Kawai’s Millennium III Upright Action, featuring carbon-infused ABS components that resist wear and climate fluctuations. This advanced action offers fast repetition, precise control, and long-term reliability—ideal for daily lessons and ensemble rehearsals.

The ST-1’s extended-length keysticks, solid spruce soundboard, and mahogany-core hammers produce a warm, resonant tone with excellent dynamic range. Five oversized back posts and a reinforced pinblock ensure tuning stability, while the 47″ raised music desk—the longest in its class—accommodates oversized scores with ease.

Practical touches like the Soft Fall fallboard, reinforced bench, and rubber casters make this piano as functional as it is musical.
